Quranium (QRN) is a quantum-resistant Layer-1 blockchain project that aims to integrate quantum computing, blockchain, and artificial intelligence technologies under a single roof. The project is specifically designed to meet the long-term security and regulatory needs of financial institutions by providing a post-quantum (quantum-secure) infrastructure.
What Does Quranium (QRN) Offer?
The majority of existing Layer-1 networks use ECDSA-based cryptography. The increasing computational power and the development of quantum computers have raised serious concerns that these signature algorithms could become breakable in the long term. Quranium claims to be the first Layer-1 blockchain built from the ground up on a quantum-resistant architecture, placing this risk at its core.
The project aims to create an infrastructure that ensures the long-term security (10–30 years and beyond) of financial assets, tokenized real-world assets (RWA), digital identities, and data requiring long-term storage.
The Quantum Threat and the “Store Now, Decrypt Later” Risk
Blockchain security today largely relies on elliptic curve cryptography (ECDSA). However, the theoretical ability of quantum computers to break these systems poses a structural risk to digital asset security.
The scenario known as “Store Now, Decrypt Later” refers to the possibility of encrypted data being stored today and decrypted in the future with more powerful computers. This means that current smart contracts and wallet infrastructures may not remain secure in the long term.
Quranium treats this threat not merely as a theoretical risk, but as an inevitable future security problem, and positions its infrastructure accordingly.
SLH-DSA: Hash-Based Post-Quantum Signature Algorithm
The technical foundation of Quranium is SLH-DSA (Stateless Hash-Based Digital Signature Algorithm). This algorithm is based on hash-based cryptography and offers a stateless structure.
Hash-based cryptography is considered one of the longest-tested and most conservative security-assumption methods in the cryptography world. It is stated to provide a more cautious and long-term security perspective compared to lattice-based alternatives.
Quranium’s approach can be summarized as follows:
- A more robust architecture compared to stateful structures
- A more conservative security approach than lattice-based systems
- A cryptographic foundation that will remain valid for decades
This structure is specifically designed for banks, regulated financial institutions, and assets requiring long-term storage.
EVM-Compatible Quantum-Safe Infrastructure
Quranium is not only a new Layer-1; it also offers an EVM-compatible architecture. This allows developers to deploy their existing Solidity-based smart contracts on the Quranium network without rewriting them.
This feature enables projects to transition to a quantum-resistant foundation without requiring a complete rebuild. Thus, the goal is to achieve a balanced transition between performance, developer experience, and security.
QxSwap: Quantum-Safe Decentralized Exchange
QxSwap is a quantum-secure decentralized exchange (DEX) positioned within the Quranium ecosystem. It is designed for institutional-grade asset exchange.
Key features:
- High-speed asset swapping
- Quantum-resistant signature infrastructure
- Scalable liquidity in global markets
This structure specifically targets institutional actors conducting large-volume transactions.
QRemix AI: AI-Powered Smart Contract Deployment
QRemix AI is an artificial intelligence-based tool aimed at accelerating smart contract development and deployment processes.
Through this system, developers are expected to optimize contract creation and deployment processes, reduce potential errors, and achieve faster prototyping.
The combination of quantum-safe infrastructure with AI-supported development tools lies at the center of Quranium’s technology vision.
QSafe Wallet: Quantum-Safe Wallet
QSafe Wallet is Quranium’s native and quantum-secure wallet solution.
Key features:
- Support for Quranium mainnet tokens and NFTs
- Integration with over 70 major blockchains (including BTC, Ethereum, Solana)
- Quantum-resistant signature infrastructure
This structure aims to combine multi-chain asset management with a post-quantum security perspective.
Qinfi: Quantum-Safe SuperApp
Qinfi is the application developed by Quranium and described as “the world’s first quantum-safe SuperApp.”
It aims to offer the following functions within a single application:
- Ownership of tokenized real-world assets
- Instant transfers between bank accounts and crypto wallets
- Investment or trading in crypto and stocks
- Earning yield from assets
- One-tap borrowing
- Payments with a crypto-backed card
All these operations are protected with quantum-resistant encryption infrastructure.
Institutional Focus and Regulatory Perspective
Quranium’s positioning is directed more toward institutional participants than individual users.
Key institutional advantages:
Long-Term Validity Regulated assets (securities, health data, intellectual property) require validity periods of 10–30 years and beyond. SLH-DSA hash-based signatures provide conservative security suitable for this requirement.
Auditability and Compliance Simpler cryptographic primitives mean easier auditability. Hash functions are among the most thoroughly tested building blocks in cryptography history.
Security-Performance Balance While lattice-based systems offer current speed advantages, they involve more assumptions regarding long-term security. Quranium prioritizes security in the balance between performance and long-term assurance.
