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)
.2.0 wallets - MyQRLWallet (built with @DigitalGuards) offering web, Android, desktop & browser extension wallets, and QRL's own Web3 Wallet is a Chromium extension
2. Explorers & Data
.ZondScan - the explorer for the 2.0 testnet
.@QuantaScan - explorer that covers both networks
.QRL Now is a market dashboard across exchanges
.Quantum Bubble Maps - draws the 1.x wallets and the clusters between them
.@chainalysis - transaction monitoring tool
3. Core & Dev tools
.go-qrl - for execution
.Qrysm - for consensus
.Hyperion /Web3.js /QRLLIB - for the 1.x cryptography
.qrl-cli - for 1.x wallets and transfers
.WalletConnect - lets dApps talk to MyQRLWallet over a post-quantum encrypted relay.
4. DeFi
.QuantaPool - a liquid staking app where you stake QRL and receive stQRL
.QuantaSwap - swaps QRL for ETH across chains using hashed timelocks
.AcornSwap - a port of Uniswap V2 and V3 to Hyperion
.PQlyMarket - a YES/NO prediction market
.ARQL Bridge - moves USDC from Circle's Arc testnet onto QRL 2.0 as a QRC-20 token
.QRC20 Factory & QRL 2.0 Token Generator - lets anyone deploy a token
5. Apps
.PeerQuanta - a p2peer marketplace with encrypted chat
.talkrypt - a post-quantum chat prototype
.Squirrel Game is an on-chain NFT strategy game.
.Quantrix, Discus, Fermion & Valence - private messaging + decentralized storage
.QRLphone
6. Mining, exchanges & compliance
.HeroMiners & @MiningOcean_org - run mining pools, .@MEXC, @XTexchange & @biconomy - centralised exchanges to trade $QRL
Team & Partners.
.@petewaterland, @jackalyst, @craig_clement, @Joseph_Kearney, @Strike_Attack, @OfficialUoM and others.
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.

QRL's latest engineering update reports tighter rules on which folders its JavaScript compiler tool can import files from. That gives smart-contract builders a clearer boundary around what a compilation is allowed to read.

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.

QRL's Hyperion project added an automated check for a 30-day review of upstream compiler bug advisories. A useful question for any software fork: who watches the original project's security findings, and how quickly must they review them?

Quantum computing will probably make headlines in the next few weeks. 👀
Could this be the next “Google paper” moment?

If Zcash can go to $1,000 USD, then Quantum Resistant Ledger can go to $250.00 USD in the upcoming panic

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.

Solidity developers: you've spent months/years building on blockchains whose underlying cryptography is vulnerable to quantum computers.
That doesn't have to be the case moving forward.
With QRL 2.0, you can bring your Solidity skills to a blockchain built with post-quantum security in mind from the very beginning (sigh of relief).

Pretty stupid. Just migrate to Quantum Resistant Ledger $QRL theqrl.org

Just move to Quantum Resistant Ledger $QRL it's post-quantum and the white paper is 10 years old. theqrl.org

Would quantum-safe websites be easier to build if software supported fewer, well-tested signature choices? More options offer flexibility, but every extra combination also needs testing across browsers, servers and certificates. Compatibility deserves a seat at the table.

I wonder if IonQ is actively exploring quantum-resistant blockchains? That would be a logical fit to quantum-security efforts.
Big organizations like Lockheed Martin have been doing it:

Ist ja nicht schlecht, dass ab und an über die Quantencomputer-Gefahr berichtet wird. Ich bin ja mal gespannt, welcher größere deutsche Krypto-Account hier auf X über einen sinnvollen Hedge mit $QRL oder anderen PQC kommt
