contents We generalize Bonahon-Wong's $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$-quantum trace map to the setting of $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{C})$. More precisely, given a non-zero complex parameter $q=e^{2 πi \hbar}$, we associate to each isotopy class of framed oriented links $K$ in a thickened punctured surface $\mathfrak{S} \times (0, 1)$ a Laurent polynomial $\mathrm{Tr}_λ^q(K) = \mathrm{Tr}_λ^q(K)(X_i^q)$ in $q$-deformations $X_i^q$ of the Fock-Goncharov $\mathcal{X}$-coordinates for higher Teichmüller space. This construction depends on a choice $λ$ of ideal triangulation of the surface $\mathfrak{S}$. Along the way, we propose a definition for a $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{C})$-version of this invariant.
