QRL - Quantum Resistant Ledger.

Icy_Tooth8327

Just dedicate some time of research and you’ll see it for yourself QRL began building specifically around quantum resistance years before Algorand adopted its post-quantum roadmap. QRL’s original mainnet launched in 2018 with XMSS, a NIST-standardized hash-based signature scheme designed to resist quantum attacks. That means quantum resistance wasn’t added later as a narrative—it was part of QRL’s core architecture from the beginning. Now QRL 2.0 is taking that foundation much further with Zond: modern post-quantum cryptography, Falcon signatures, 64-byte addresses, EVM compatibility, smart contracts, higher security targets, and extensive independent auditing. QRL is therefore not simply becoming quantum-resistant; it has been building toward this problem from the start.

Easily QRL. Quantum narrative building up and being first, completely protected, audited by the best firms, no migration risks involved and now partnering with Chainanalysis to transition to t1 exchanges.

There is already an solution QRL since 2018. Which will be Ethereum EVM compatible with QRL2.0 release, fully audited. This or next year ...

You do know that quantum-proof (or quantum-resistant) blockchains exist. They use post-quantum cryptography—such as hash-based or lattice-based signature schemes instead of vulnerable traditional elliptic curve cryptography (like ECDSA)—to protect transactions from being cracked by future powerful quantum computers. Dedicated Quantum-Resistant Blockchains **Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL):** Built from its genesis block in 2018 to be post-quantum secure, [QRL](https://www.theqrl.org/a-visionary-future-proof-blockchain-with-unparalleled-security/) relies on the eXtended Merkle-tree Signature Scheme (XMSS) rather than standard algorithms. **Other Projects:** Networks like Cellframe, QANplatform, and Nexus incorporate or market post-quantum cryptographic primitives designed to withstand quantum attacks. \[\] How Mainstream Blockchains are Adapting Major legacy networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum are not natively quantum-proof yet, but they are actively planning or building upgrades: **Ethereum:** The Ethereum Foundation has prioritized post-quantum defense research (allocating dedicated funds and roadmaps) to transition network validators and signature schemes toward quantum-safe alternatives like Falcon or stateful XMSS. **Bitcoin:** While partially protected by address hashing formats, a full network upgrade or soft fork will eventually be required to replace its underlying ECDSA transaction signatures before viable quantum computers emerge.

It's interesting to see how AI in hands of hundreds different people can really push the progress forward. Reminds me days of Seti@Home and other BOINC projects, where people were running local client ok their computers, providing their CPU power for a shared goal. But yeah, it's not so good for the current vulnerable cryptography that 99.9% of all cryptocurrencies (except QRL you mentioned) still use today.

merco_caliente

Buy QRL ! Like .. seriously

MS__13

I’m long on r/QRL The Quantum Resistant Ledger due to the quantum threat which isn’t going away. When I first researched this issue over a year ago I realized in the future all crypto will have to be quantum secure but right now very few are, so I sold all my other crypto and bought this after learning about their plans for their 2.0 network: https://www.theqrl.org/blog/celebrating-8-years/ Most alts are redundant or inferior to the more successful projects of legacy crypto. I am choosing to back the best example I have found of a pure post-quantum implementation as I think the increasing relevance of that issue will become wholly apparent in the next year or so.

jkl2035

I did some Research in that - imho the big chains will be able to migrate - think ETH will be faster than BTC, in the quantum pure area I think QRL is the most serious approach but super small/niche

MS__13

I wouldn’t neglect quantum as a narrative mate, as it will soon enough become fundamental necessity. My current “pure play” pick is r/QRL : The Quantum Resistant Ledger. Longest running chain with an eye towards quantum and tooling for the future. Severely underpriced at the moment imo due to poor exchange access, which should clear up with time after they deliver their QRL 2.0 network: https://www.theqrl.org/blog/celebrating-8-years/ Worth a look to anybody looking for proper crypto projects to hold into 2030s and beyond.

Stellar_Planet

Wait until you hear about r/QRL

MS__13

r/QRL The Quantum Resistant Ledger is the most mature chain that’s fully quantum-resistant today, and with a coherent plan for the future starting with their upcoming QRL 2.0 network fork: https://www.theqrl.org/blog/celebrating-8-years/

BioRobotTch

That is me. Do you realise that the EVM QRL are currently working with on testnet doesn't have opCodes which can validate PQC signatures? Other chains are ahead of QRL in so many ways. I don't need to mislead people to promote my bags such as suggesting a blockchain which has taken since 2020 to get a upgrade into testnet (mainnet soon!) is highly active. The whole premise of QRL is flawed. All cryptography schemes will eventually be cracked as computing costs fall and new maths is discovered so orphaned accounts coins will stolen. RSA 512 and 768 are cracked, RSA 1024 could be attacked by a state actor. The PQC schemes we use today will be attacked in the future too. The problem of orphaned accounts isn't solved by using PQC, it is solved with inheritance that something like 'DeRec Alliance' proposed by HBAR could allow. Multiple blockchains are supporting that idea now too.

Original-Assistant-8

Also glad I didn't buy QRL this year. Both projects have had nice runs here and there, but obviously most holders of both are looking beyond short term price action.

Original-Assistant-8

I actually remember I could not find a way to buy QRL years ago. Then saw EnQlave was going to be my path. Never delivered. And now Zond will enable someone building a dex, but it won't mean I'll see a liquidity pool on uniswap. Even after all that, I'll see if they can get an ecosystem going. But I still see QANX having the greater potential here. I know you disagree :)

BioRobotTch

The QRL Project Zond was started in 2020 which plans to deliver smart contracts and still hasn't reached mainnet. That is slow! >The world doesn’t yet “need” a quantum-resistant smart contract Some other blockchains have opCodes which can validate PQC signatures like Falcon already. QRL being so slow is being left behind now. You are just making excuses for them. It would be better to jump ship instead.

MS__13

QRL wasn’t developing their 2.0 network with the smart contracts since 2018, so saying it’s taken twice as long as Cardano is disingenuous. Further, nobody has ever attempted this with post-quantum cryptography. At any rate, the 2.0 network is currently in audit with Trail of Bits and awaiting a testnet refresh, so things are very much progressing towards mainnet. The world doesn’t yet “need” a quantum-resistant smart contracts, so I personally think this thing is landing at exactly the right time. I for one am glad their auditing is coinciding with the more robust AI tools that exist today. I also view their compatibility with EVM / Solidity as a positive, as it would be very easy for Ethereum developers to port their projects over to a quantum-resistant chain or build something new in a similar language.

BioRobotTch

QRL has been running since 2018 and still doesn't have smart contracts. Cardano took 4 years to get smart contracts QRL are only just deploying them to testnet, that is 2x slower than Cardano and they are just reusing the EVM rather than creating their own execution layer like Cardano did. That has got to be amongst the slowest development in blockchain history, not 'very active' at all. There are more credible blockchains to look at if you want PQC.

Themeatmanofdoom

Been in QRL for years and I still buy occasionally. They are a very active project.

suspicious_Jackfruit

Isn't QRL better suited for this surely?

Themeatmanofdoom

This is why I also hold QRL along with my BTC and ETH.

Kemilio

QRL. Call me dumb, idiotic, fearmongering, etc. Idc. It’s a gamble and I know that. But I’m willing to bet that quantum computers will break most crypto encryption eventually, and I don’t think those cryptos will be ready when it does.

Big-Finding2976

It's like QRL holders bragging that their coin was the first QS one. No-one cares, there's other, more useful, chains now that are QS or soon will be.

Hot_Local_Boys_PDX

If you're going to go for an "alt coin", go for something that actually offers a compelling forward looking alternative to Bitcoin / Ethereum like r/QRL : The Quantum Resistant Ledger. The longest running quantum-secure Layer 1 with a legitimate roadmap for the future. QRL 2.0 is currently in audit with Trail of Bits, a major cybersecurity firm who has audit the likes of Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum in the past.

Big-Finding2976

The only point I disagree with is 5. The threat may be a few years away but so are the solutions. With BTC there hasn't even been a decision made about which upgrade proposal should be implemented, let alone a timeline for doing so. With ETH the roadmap targets full protection by 2029 but it could take longer, bearing in mind that every bridge, L2, DEX, etc. is vulnerable. Solana doesn't even intend to upgrade yet and just says it has a plan to do so if quantum becomes a "credible threat". There are chains like QRL that have been designed to be quantum-proof from day 1, without any vulnerable legacy systems that need to be updated or migrated away from, and with the upcoming Zond upgrade it will be EVM-compatible so it could become a competitor to those vulnerable chains. There are also other L1s being developed that can run nodes on cheap computers with the ability to scale and process very high TPS without needing to use any L2s, so they won't have the difficulties that ETH faces with its upgrade.

lars2137

People are short-sighted. They only think about what's happening right now instead of planning ahead. I own an air conditioning installation company. The heatwave had been forecast for a week, yet during that entire week I got only two phone calls. As soon as the hot weather actually arrived, the phones started ringing nonstop—around 200 calls a day. It perfectly shows how most people think: they wait until it's too late instead of preparing in advance. If you are intresting to quantum project - QRL (Quantum Resistant Ledger) - this is first Quantumcurrency ever made, other projects pale in comparison to QRL. Even the world's largest corporation, Lockheed Martin, filed a patent using QRL, and Google Quantum AI described QRL as the successor to Bitcoin. Smart contracts and version 2.0 are coming soon, so I recommend not waiting too long

Hot_Local_Boys_PDX

QRL is going beyond hash based signatures and introducing smart contracts and EVM compatibility soon. I recommend reading the latest for anyone interested: https://www.theqrl.org/blog/celebrating-8-years/

TheCrimsonSquirrel

Also Nervos Network were born with QRL. I have no doubt Vitalik priorities for Ethereum up grade too

Own-Position4839

I think projects are talking about it, just not always in a way that gets retail attention. Part of the issue is that “quantum security” sounds like either sci-fi FUD or some niche cryptography thing, so people tune it out. But the actual blockchain problem is pretty concrete: most chains rely on signature schemes that eventually need to be swapped out if/when quantum computers become capable enough. And imo the bigger question isn’t just “does this chain have a PQ signature scheme?” It’s “how painful is it for the chain to change its cryptography when it needs to?” That’s the difference between quantum resistance and crypto agility. Quantum resistance = use a post-quantum scheme. Crypto agility = you can rotate/add cryptographic primitives without turning every change into a multi-year governance fight. Bitcoin is probably the hardest case because of the existing UTXO set, exposed pubkeys, Satoshi-era coins, etc. [This](https://www.nervos.org/knowledge-base/how_bitcoins_path_to_quantum_resistance_could_look_like) is a great breakdown of Bitcoin's potential migration problem. But this isn’t only a Bitcoin thing. Ethereum has ECDSA for EOAs, BLS on the consensus side, KZG commitments, etc. Other chains have their own baked-in assumptions too. The projects I’d take most seriously here are the ones that are not just saying “we’ll add PQ later,” but have an actual architecture for swapping crypto over time. Algorand/QRL are obvious examples people mention. CKB/Nervos is another interesting one because it’s a PoW chain with programmable UTXOs and a RISC-V VM, so signature schemes aren’t hardcoded as protocol precompiles in the same way. Different approach, but relevant to the crypto agility point.

OkSeries5363

Major blockchains like Algorand and Hedera are actively implementing NIST-approved post quantum algorithms. Ripple and Stellar have published multi phase roadmaps to migrate their networks to quantum resistant cryptography. Coins like the Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) and IOTA use specialized hash-based and lattice-based signatures at the protocol level. So are already natively resistant. The giants like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Developers have begun testing proposals and upgrades, but deploying these changes across decentralized networks will require years of coordination.

Patient_Craft2195

a few projects are already on it, algorand and QRL specifically. just doesnt get hype since the threat feels far off

QRL

Shoddy_Trifle_9251

QRL - Quantum Resistant Ledger is First Quantumcurrency ever made. QRL has had post-quantum security since 2018.

Shoddy_Trifle_9251

Sorry, but virtually any AI-powered analysis will tell you that Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) is currently one of the most quantum-secure blockchains in existence. QRL has been operating a post-quantum-secure mainnet since 2018, years ahead of the entire industry. Its technology has also attracted attention from major institutions, including Lockheed Martin, which filed a patent incorporating QRL-related cryptographic technology.

Shoddy_Trifle_9251

You’ve got it completely backwards. If coins are truly lost or can never be moved, those are exactly the coins that become the most vulnerable targets for a future quantum computer. That’s one reason why discussions about freezing, migrating, or otherwise protecting dormant coins are gaining traction. Take the case of the guy who lost his hard drive in a landfill. If those coins remain inaccessible indefinitely, they become a prime example of coins that could eventually be harvested by a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. The longer they sit untouched and unable to be secured, the greater the potential risk. QRL - Quantum Resistant Ledger is the digital gold of the quantum era.

Tsmacks1

Quantum resistance will be a narrative gaining steam in the coming years. The project leading in this area is QRL. Currently PoW moving to PoS with QRVM and smart contracts. Audit is underway by Trail of Bits.

ConcernNormal9255

Im 100 all in with QRL. The quantum narrative will be huge moving forward. We could be 1-2 years out from a major breakthrough in qc tech. Qrl is about to launch smart contracts. Devs will be able to build quantum resistant dapps. The qrl team is aiming for enterprise grade and there currently having their upgrade audited by none other than Trail of Bits. Same people who did eth, Solana, chainlink, ton, and more. Even as a spec trade it could be a massive upside in the short term. There around 100m market cap. They aim to have a T1 listing with their upgrade launch.

alami9

Could be. I’m not pitching a trade, I’m pointing at a cryptographic deadline. If your coins live behind ECDSA, the question isn’t whether QRL has value, it’s what your chain’s plan is for the day exposed public keys stop being safe. “Quantum-safe chains are worthless” and “my ECDSA keys are fine forever” can’t both be true. Happy to be wrong, my keys aren’t the ones on the clock.

ChillerID

Excellent post! It really seems that ECDSA may be broken sooner than expected. It’s interesting that Trail of Bits developed this circuit improvement while simultaneously auditing QRL. They are clearly keeping a close eye on advances in quantum computing and helping ensure that quantum-safe crypto is built with security as a top priority.

alami9

Fair correction. To be precise: ML-DSA-87 targets NIST security category 5, which is the top of NIST's 1 through 5 scale, so it does sit at the highest tier. What it isn't is the only scheme up there. Falcon-1024 and SPHINCS+/SLH-DSA at their 256-bit parameter sets also land at category 5, so ML-DSA-87 shares the top tier rather than standing alone above everything. Within ML-DSA's own three options it's the strongest (ML-DSA-44 = level 2, ML-DSA-65 = level 3, ML-DSA-87 = level 5). So "highest tier" is accurate, "uniquely highest" would not be. I should've said "NIST's top security category (Level 5)" to avoid implying it's the single strongest. Good catch. QRL signs on the consensus layer with ML-DSA-87 (category 5), and is adding Falcon-1024 and ML-KEM-1024 on the networking layer, so it's using more than one category-5 primitive rather than betting everything on one. see [https://www.theqrl.org/weekly/](https://www.theqrl.org/weekly/)

QRL (quantum resistant ledger) peut être un bon parie , ils vont passé en preuve d'enjeu bientôt.

jkl2035

Wasn‘t there a proper Audit? I see currently at QRL for example, they do months of Audit with two external Auditors before mainnet

alami9

Crazy how few people know about QRL. It is the best, most secure PQ chain Ethereum Virtual Machine compatible plus fixed supply at 105 million. Crypto agile means they can keep improving. Only EVM chain so far that has demonstrated Ethereum level performance. I wouldn’t put my money counting on every ETH holder to act, act thoroughly (migrate everything), and in perfect coordination with others. Just move your project over to QRL. Why not?

ChillerID

Lockheed Martin adopting leading quantum-safe blockchain tech is pretty hard to ignore. QRL’s availability is still limited so a great opportunity for early birds before Tier 1 listing.

ChillerID

I agree. IMO, $QRL is by far the most legit quantum-safe project.

alami9

That is why QRL 2.0 is crypto agile, it is engineered with a three byte descriptor in its address, when a new cryptography comes out, the new descriptor gets defined, functionality gets defined, the chain will just keep working. Not need to migrate. Best engineered chain for the new era. Its L1 performance is on par with Ethereum despite 30-70x bigger signature, at Level 5 max NIST security, a feat unmatched by anything out there.

Post is by: schrodingersbadger and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/QRL/comments/1tuzybo/the_lockheed_martin_patent_related_to_the_quantum/  The document describes a secure communications architecture based on quantum-resistant cryptography and the use of a distributed ledger for the management and validation of cryptographic information. One of the pages in the patent contains the official QRL (Quantum Resistant Ledger) logo, making it clear that the reference is to the specific project and not merely to the abstract concept of a quantum-resistant ledger.  The patent demonstrates that the technology and concepts associated with the project were considered relevant enough to be incorporated into a patent granted to one of the world's largest aerospace and defense companies. As the transition toward post-quantum cryptographic systems becomes increasingly important, it is interesting to observe real-world cases in which major organizations are exploring architectures designed for long-term security and resilience against future quantum threats. This is a development that deserves attention. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Murky_Estimate1484

QRL will be long term secure. It has no sister tokens running on ERC-20 or sister platforms.

jkl2035

Governance of Mochimo project is more than critical - one crazy guy dominating the whole project - sold all of mine just recently. I hold QRL (Major one) and ABEL (last year the third serious project)

alami9

By “a quantum-safe chain,” I meant adopting QRL, PQ EVM allowing you to replicate your project on a quantum safe L1. Migration will mostly fail with the much larger signature size being one of the reasons. What is remarkable about QRL 2.0 is that its base layer performance is on par with Ethereum despite using the most secure (largest and most difficult to keep fast) Level 5 NIST PQ signature, ML-DSA-87.

Tsmacks1

You make it seem like upgrading to PQC can just be turned on like a switch. While some chains have an easier migration path than others, a lot depends on the CRQC timeline. If Qday hits before 2030, expect absolute chaos across crypto. QRL avoids the quantum uncertainty altogether. And as quantum hardware advances, that secure foundation will have serious appeal for builders and investors a like.

schrodingersbadger

This is the very first line of the section regarding “Post-Quantum Blockchains”. \- “A few blockchains have made progress in real-world deployment of PQC. In particular, the QRL \[63, 64\] launched in 2018 stands out as post-quantum from inception.”

schrodingersbadger

Negative. Their names were mentioned more times and the article talked about them for longer because they had to explain the nightmare that it is to migrate a whole vulnerable chain to PQ. When they mentioned QRL it was pretty much “QRL already is PQ resistant”, there was no explaining how they were going to do it. It is already done.

schrodingersbadger

Yes. They were mentioned more often because they are not quantum resistant yet, so the paper had to explain how they are scrambling to get up to speed. QRL was mentioned first and they didn’t have to explain how they are going to transition to PQ because it already is.

BioRobotTch

And other chains were mentions far more often than QRL in the paper.

BioRobotTch

>Give me an example of one of these so called “more credible” chains that will be quantum resistant “soon”. Algorand Their chief scientific officer is Chris Peikert, the guy that created FALCON a NIST recommended PQC signature scheme. Accounts can use PQC signing keys now but you pay more fees as more blockspace is needed. They haven't addressed the VRF yet because the risk is small and the cost is high in performance. To attack the VRF would need a quantum computer attacking it in under 3 seconds, which will be impossible long after large qbit quantum computers exist as they will be unstable when they first exist. QRL is a one trick pony Algorand is the real thing.

Cryptizard

Oh shit, someone at Google _mentioned_ QRL in the background section of their paper? To the moon!

alami9

QANX (QANplatform): QANplatform launched a quantum-resistant L1 using lattice-based cryptography back in 2022, but it’s a hybrid that still leans on non-PQ components and has nowhere near QRL’s eight-year, PQ-from-genesis mainnet track record. Cellframe: Cellframe’s post-quantum signatures are an opt-in feature, not the default, so the bulk of activity still runs on classical ECDSA-style curves, meaning most of what’s on it is no more quantum-safe than Bitcoin.

ChillerID

Have you taken a closer look to Mochimo and QRL?

alami9

“Frame is launching an L1 PQ chain”? Frame is a March press release, not a chain. The Crypto Company, an OTC microcap with a \~$8M market cap and a stock down 85% in six months, bought the IP and says it “intends to launch this year” on a $2M development budget. No mainnet, no track record, no audit. “Post-quantum security” is a single feature bullet with zero detail; they don’t even name an algorithm. QRL has been live and post-quantum for eight years, independently audited, with a public testnet you can use right now. One is a running network. The other is a press release.

alami9

Ignore QRL at your own risk. Which other L1 has: 1. Eight years live as a public quantum-safe chain with near-perfect uptime. 2. Post-quantum security from the genesis block. Nothing to migrate, no keys ever exposed. 3. A live EVM-compatible post-quantum testnet you can build on today, not a 2029 promise. 4. Proven crypto-agility: upgraded its signatures to NIST’s top level across the whole stack in \~2 weeks, no hard fork. 5. A clean post-quantum crypto audit, with the protocol audit run by Trail of Bits. 6. Throughput in Ethereum’s range despite signatures many times larger than ECDSA. Name one chain that checks half these boxes. “It’s small” isn’t a rebuttal to the tech, it’s the entry price.

schrodingersbadger

Your post makes no sense. You say “The devil is in the details”, then you post the mention of QRL in the Google paper (that was written by team at Google Quantum AI, the Ethereum Foundation, and other experts. Not by some random internet) which states that QRL uses only post quantum cryptography, as opposed to vulnerable cryptography such as ECC, and then ask “who cares”? LOL

Careless-Bluejay-134

The devil is always in the details. Google intern writing a paper, umm "Googles" and sees QRL amongst others. "As we discuss in detail in later sections, some blockchains, such as the Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) \[63, 64\], Mochimo \[65\] and Abelian \[66\], rely exclusively on PQC. Others, such as Algorand, the XRP Ledger, and Solana, have made early experimental deployments of post-quantum protocols \[62, 67\]." I mean, who cares? I know you want to pump your bags and you might well succeed. I for one hope that not too many people get trapped, and it dies quietly on MEXC or whatever other shitcoin peddling site still lists it.

Careless-Bluejay-134

QRL is the most laughable retail trap in crypto. The only thing it has going for it is it's name. It will probably sucker a few more unfortunates in over the next few years. Other, more credible chains, will soon upgrade to be resistant to quantum computing and "QRL" will disappear like a fart in the wind.

Good_Macaron_7889

QRL! marketing is not great on there end but the project is solid, been around since 2018 I think, big upgrades coming this year with smart contracts and trail of bits doing there audit, a challenge to buy but they are vectoring towards tier one exchanges, and price is solid now and bottomed out it seems like

schrodingersbadger

I can see you are an intelligent/well informed individual. Quantum computing is ABSOLUTELY a threat. I own a decent amount of BTC. That being said, I am not sure Bitcoin will be able to make the network quantum safe in time. When began asking the same question as you, I ran into another crypto currency called Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL). I have since been DCAing into QRL. One thing that gave it a lot of credibility in my book, was the fact that Lockheed Martin (the defense contractor) has a patent that uses QRL blockchain for quantum resistant communications. QRL was also mentioned in the Google paper on quantum computing and blockchains. Don’t take my word for it, ask an AI about it and do your own research.

That is QRL isn’t it? The most established quantum resistant ledger that no one knows about. QRL 2.0, hopefully moving to mainnet Q3 or Q4, is going to be a game-changer - EVM compatible, performance on par with Ethereum, crypto agile with its 3 byte descriptor in the address, among other things.

From what I can tell, the patent appears to reference Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL), an open-source project focused on post-quantum cryptography. The patent text specifically mentions “QRL technology,” and the filing also includes the project’s logo in the context of secure communications architecture. That doesn’t necessarily mean Lockheed Martin is using the public QRL blockchain, but it’s interesting to see quantum-resistant ledger concepts appearing in defense-related research and patents. It could also suggest growing interest in post-quantum secure blockchain architectures more broadly.

It is not catastrophic like that though. Major companies are all working on it. We crypto people just need to face it too. There are quantum safe chains out there. Look up QRL 2.0.

Alt that have no utility has always been dead. Only crypto worth buying at this point is Bitcoin and QRL

Bitcoin is quantum vulnerable garbage. QRL is the digital gold of the quantum era. A chain that wasn’t secure at genesis can never be fully secure later.

Good step - they just missed to mention the already quantum resistant projects (not listed on Coinbase 😉) like QRL, MCM, ABEL. Google didn’t have issues to mention them…

Interesting, still it’s not mentioning already Quantum Secure projects (not listed on Coinbase 😉) Like QRL, MCM, ABEL

Just did. This is the response “QRL (Quantum Resistant Ledger) is widely considered the clearest leader — launched in 2016 and built entirely around post-quantum security from day one using XMSS (hash-based) signatures. It remains one of the few coins where quantum resistance is the main thesis, not a side feature.”

Think it’s a good opportunity as a hedge, in this sector I invest in QRL (main Portion), MCM (hell difficult to invest, only listed in one Minor Exchange) and ABEL. All of them are small/micro. cap with great chance / risk profile imho

NIST has already finalized their standards. “algorithms include ML-KEM (formerly CRYSTALS-Kyber) for general encryption, and ML-DSA (CRYSTALS-Dilithium) and SLH-DSA (SPHINCS+) for digital signatures, with FALCON as an additional signature standard” From what I gather from the Google paper, QRL is the only project that is currently quantum safe. Been looking into investing in it.
