Fair caveat from @NCSC. State is the hard part of XMSS. A blockchain helps: every used one-time key index is public on-chain. FYI - QRL has been running XMSS since genesis, 2018. At that time there were 70+ NIST candidates. QRL picked one. Two survived XMSS and LMS for hash-based signature schemes. Running mainnet ever since, QRL testnet V3 for QRL 2.0 coming...... SOON.

6| Exploring Quantum Ecosystems #1: @QRLedger
I begun a series exploring underexplored quantum protocols and chains using my 2026 quantum tier list. Going deeper on why certain protocols are where they are on the food chain, starting with Qrl.
xitter.cf/tradeguru/status/21146…
Exploring Quantum Ecosystems #1 - @QRLedger
Based on quantum readiness, QRLedger is s-tier. It is quantum-safe, upgradeable and has been battle-tested for 8 years.
Within QRL, layers of applications are being built thanks to 2.0, which brings smart contracts to the network.
Let's take a look inside ↓↓
___________
Most chains, Bitcoin and Ethereum included, sign transactions with elliptic curve signatures, and a large enough quantum computer running Shor's algorithm could figure out a private key from a public key and exploit that vulnerability.
QRL signs with hash-based signatures instead, which Shor's algorithm does not break.
Its PoW network, QRL 1.x, uses XMSS where every address holds a fixed number of one-time keys and each signature uses up one of them, which is why QRL wallets keep track of which key index comes next.
QRL was built this way from block 0. Ethereum's own roadmap, by comparison, targets about 2029 for its post-quantum transition.
Its PoS network, QRL 2.0, aka Project Zond (still on testnet), opened up a whole new world of possibilities for and flexibility for more applications to build on Qrl.
2.0 is EVM compatible and it has its own contract language - Hyperion. V2 is the current release. It signs with ML-DSA-87, the NIST standard formerly known as Dilithium5, and it is upgradeable.
What's being built
1. Wallets
.1.x wallets - web and desktop wallet, the mobile wallet, the Ledger Nano app and Zeus (an experimental multi-platform client)

Many of the unoffiicial projects are still new, and on testnet in 2.0 that's why they don't have handles yet.
Also, there are memecoins but I did not to add them because they aren't building serious applications on Qrl.
That's all for now.

Quantum Tier List (2026)
Everyone says their chain is quantum ready but only a few can prove it.
👇 I ranked 34 "quantum" projects including the 28 on @Mars_DeFi's list based on
• quantum safety
• upgradability
• testnet/mainnet
• age + size
• privacy feature
S
.@QRLedger - every wallet has used XMSS feature, a hash-based signature quantum computers can't crack, it has been live since 2018, with multiple audits.
A
.@QuantusNetwork - uses quantum-safe ML-DSA signatures by default, but mainnet only launched this September.
.Abelian - quantum-safe lattice signatures since 2022, but its own custom design haa no public crypto audit.
.@tidecoin - uses Falcon, a quantum-safe signature, on every transaction since 2020, but it's a tiny network.
.@cellframenet wallets use Dilithium, a quantum-safe signature, by default, but adoption is small.
.@QoreChain - every transaction needs a quantum-safe ML-DSA signature, but mainnet only went live in June this year.
.@NeptunePrivacy - spending uses hash-based proofs, but it's a young chain.
.@NEARProtocol - quantum-safe ML-DSA keys are live since Jul 2026, and you can switch your account to them anytime.
.@Algorand - quantum-safe Falcon accounts are live since Aug 2026, and you can move an existing wallet over.
B
.@Starknet - its proofs are quantum-safe, but your wallet keys aren't yet, and the safe wallet is just a demo.
.@solana - an outside team built a quantum-safe vault you can opt into, the chain itself isn't quantum safe.
.@NervosNetwork - an optional quantum-safe lock exists, but you have to move funds into it.
.@trondao - quantum-safe Falcon and ML-DSA keys are being tested on its testnet.
.@tezos - testing quantum-safe ML-DSA accounts on a special testnet.
.@QANplatform - is integrating quantum-safe Dilithium signatures, but still on testnet only.
.@quipnetwork - building earky stage quantum-safe accounts for coins on other chains, still on testnet.
.@Aptos - its quantum-safe SLH-DSA accounts are coded but still waiting for a governance vote to switch it on.
.@SuiNetwork - made its first quantum-safe transaction on a dev network this month, and mainnet is targeted for 2027.
.@Tensorcash - you can create quantum-safe ML-DSA addresses, but it's a small, new network.
.Bitcoin BIP-360, a proposal for quantum-safe addresses, is still a draft
C
.@ethereum - still researching quantum-safe upgrades, most likely years away.
.@zksync - its proofs are quantum-safe, but user accounts aren't.
.@Zcash - plans for quantum-safe signatures, but nothing shipped yet.
.Qoneqt - claims a quantum-safe vault, but can't verify anything yet.
.@injective - said last week it started building toward a quantum future, but no details yet.
.@monad - quantum-safe keys are still on their roadmap.
.@aztecnetwork no quantum plan or anything substantial published yet but Mars included it in his list
.@mindnetwork_xyz - focuses on encryption, not quantum-safe signatures but seems they frame that as quantum
.@NexusMutual - security-focused imo, no quantum plan
.@Qubic - quantum-themed only, maybe to join the hype, but little real quantum-safe tech.
.@GeeqOfficial - only security claims, no quantum details
.AME Chain - claims to be quantum-secure, little public proof
.QuStream - quantum claims, little public detail
Bottom line:
Most of crypto still runs on keys a quantum computer could break. Only one project here clears every bar today and that's @QRLedger.
But there's room for growth and tech like this would take years to perfect👌

Why a bunker? A powerful enough quantum computer could use an exposed #Bitcoin or #Ethereum public key to work out the private key and spend the coins.
On November 3, Justin Drake said, “This month there is going to be a breakthrough paper that further reduces the run time by an order of magnitude.”
His “bunker mode” proposal is a precaution holders can take today. Move coins to a fresh address that keeps the public key hidden while waiting for quantum-resistant upgrades. That wait could last years.
$QRL took a different approach from day one. Since 2018, it has used quantum-resistant signatures so you can reveal your public key when you spend without giving a quantum attacker a way to forge your next payment.

Five checks before you call a chain post-quantum.
1. Which signature? A named scheme: NIST FIPS 204 (ML-DSA), FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA), or stateful hash-based XMSS/LMS in NIST SP 800-208.
2. Where does is it live? Mainnet, not a testnet or a dev branch. Or on a classical chain.
3. Default or opt-in? Opt-in leaves old elliptic-curve keys quantum-vulnerable until owners move.
4. What happens to exposed keys? Freeze, burn, recover, or nothing. Someone has to decide.
5. Since when? A chain that started post-quantum has no legacy keys to move.
Why it matters: a large enough quantum computer running Shor's algorithm could break the elliptic-curve signatures most blockchains use today. Hash-based signatures rest on hash functions instead.
QRL has run hash-based XMSS on mainnet since June 26, 2018.
Ready is not migrated.

That doesn't have to be the case moving forward.

🚨 BREAKING: Hackers are hitting the world's money system in 7 places at the same time.
This is what Covid looked like in week 1. A few banks. A few apps. Nobody called it a crisis.
1/ France: more than €118 million (about $133 million) was pulled out of Crédit Mutuel Arkéa over several days and turned into crypto. Today its app was down and EVERY transfer was blocked. The bank says customers lose nothing.
2/ Belgium: on October 28, the federal finance ministry said a cyberattack hit it. The online tax portal was SHUT and tax deadlines will be pushed back.
3/ Eurozone: on October 22, the European Central Bank, the bank behind the euro, confirmed that attackers planted malware on one of its websites.
4/ South Korea: at least 9 banks targeted since late September by an attacker using an AI hacking agent. At Shinhan Bank alone, about 25,000 customers had their names, phone numbers, incomes and loan limits exposed.
5/ Japan: hackers broke into GMO Internet and demanded $50 million in crypto. The prime minister promised an emergency anti-cyberattack package.
6/ At least 14 countries: China-linked hackers used AI agents to attack 200+ organisations in just 11 days. Finance was on the target list.
7/ Crypto: more than $6 billion drained from Binance hot wallets on 11 blockchains on October 29, most of it in about 30 minutes. The FBI says North Korea did it.
Now zoom out.
Hackers now send AI agents to do the work. The French money left over several days before the bank confirmed anything. Fake IDs passed the crypto exchanges' checks. About $63 million in stablecoins became 27,553 Ether in 4 hours. Part of it vanished into Monero, a coin built to hide who sends and who receives.
Covid locked the streets. This time the lock is on the bank app, and €118 million is already gone. Nobody is calling this a crisis yet. But central bankers already plan for the day the hackers get in.
The G7 agreed to run drills that simulate AI attacks on banks. The ECB gave eurozone banks until October 31 to hand in AI cyber defence plans. And last month the IMF chief warned we may end up with "lots of people with shoeboxes under their beds."
We confirm every attack on banks and exchanges before we post it. Follow for the next confirmed case, and share this with anyone whose salary lands in a bank account.

I wonder if $QRL should raise more awareness of its relevance as both quantum computing and AI advance. Quantum computers threaten ECDSA, while AI could accelerate cryptographic research and potentially uncover new weaknesses.
QRL already uses post-quantum signatures instead of ECDSA. That seems like a message worth spreading.

What happened in October?
👉 Uptober failed, with roughly $300B wiped from the market and BTC sliding from about $87K to $77K, its second red October in a row.
👉 Binance suffered a roughly $6.3B hack around October 29, the largest crypto theft on record, with attackers draining hot wallets across about 10 chains.
👉 Around $3B of the stolen funds was frozen on-chain, and Binance pledged to cover all losses from its reserves.
👉 The Fed held rates at 3.75-4.00% on October 28 in a 10-2 vote, with both dissenters wanting a hike, and December hike odds rose to about 80%.
👉 PCE inflation printed 3.6% headline and 3.1% core, keeping higher-for-longer rate expectations in place.
👉 Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a $485M outflow on October 7, their largest since June, and another day above $635M on October 23.
👉 ETH fell roughly 17-22% and SOL roughly 19-26%, both worse than Bitcoin, while altcoins broadly lagged.
👉 HYPE held up as a relative outperformer, and Zcash and Monero posted weekly gains while most of the market bled.
👉 OCC finalized its GENIUS Act rules for payment stablecoins on October 21, effective January 18, 2027.
👉 SEC comments on the proposed Regulation Crypto Assets closed October 20, while the CLARITY Act stayed stalled in the Senate.
👉 Chainlink launched 24/7 pricing for tokenized stocks, commodities and RWAs, and Samsung added USDC transfers on Galaxy phones.
👉 Crypto groups spent about $176M on the midterms ahead of the November 3 vote, which could unstick the market structure bill.

Binance just lost $6.3B because one set of keys was compromised.
Quantum computers won't need to compromise anything. They'll derive private keys from public ones, on every ECDSA chain, at once.
No freeze. No bailout.

FYI: @dexscreener @base
The base:0x37696cd8f723ce541ac376f79fc109080e505ba3 Cashtag on X points to a token that is not QRL.
The Quantum Resistant Ledger is an independent, post-quantum secure Layer-1 blockchain, live since 2018. QRL is not a token on Base, Ethereum, Solana, or any other chain.
Right now, tapping the QRL Cashtag on X shows the chart for an unaffiliated Base ERC-20, created April 3, 2026, that copies our name and ticker:
0x37696cd8f723ce541ac376f79fc109080e505ba3
This token has no connection to QRL. It already has 92 holders and roughly $6,000 in buyer ETH in its trading pool, people who may believe they bought QRL. Please don't buy it, and don't rely on the QRL Cashtag for price info until this is fixed.
What we've done so far:
- Reported to X Support on Oct 6, followed up Oct 15
- Contacted the Cashtag data partners
- Posted a public warning on Oct 12
What we're asking X:
Map the QRL Cashtag to the native QRL asset, or show it as ambiguous with no default contract
Stop defaulting to any Base contract that uses our name. Dozens of clones exist, so removing one won't solve it.
For those copied FYI:
- Cashtag partners: Please help route this to the team that owns asset mapping
- DEX Screener & Base: Please flag this contract as impersonating QRL
We're glad to provide any verification needed. Proof of the real QRL in the reply below 👇
📢 QRL community, we need your help:

We checked 16 coins sold as quantum-resistant. Only 7 are post-quantum by default on mainnet, and two of those launched in the last 7 weeks.
The old guard is tiny. $QRL and $MCM have signed every transaction with hash-based keys since 2018. $QRL's ML-DSA upgrade, Zond, is still on testnet with no ETA.
The bigger names went opt-in. $ALGO, $NEAR and $CKB all shipped post-quantum accounts this year, and $SOL has a WOTS vault at the app level. None of it covers coins sitting in old addresses. If you never move them, they're exactly as exposed as before.
$ZEC is the odd one in the middle. Ironwood made notes recoverable in July, but spends still run on elliptic curves and the recovery protocol isn't live yet.
Then there's the branding gap. $QANX markets itself as quantum-resistant, and its mainnet hasn't launched. $NAORIS runs a hybrid with ECDSA and invite-only validators.
$BTC and $ETH are still on ECDSA, with proposals only. The chains with the most to lose are moving the slowest.
