Quantum NetworkAn experimental blockchain designed by one person and built with AI assistance

No funding. No team. No corporate backing. The architecture and every protocol decision are one person's; the code is written with AI tools under that direction — to prove that a single developer can build a quantum-resistant blockchain that challenges the entire industry.

Features

Post-Quantum Cryptography

ML-DSA-65 (NIST FIPS 204) signatures on every transaction and consensus message, ML-KEM-768 (FIPS 203) key exchange between nodes. NIST-standardised algorithms against quantum computing threats.

13,000 Transfers/sec Measured

13,000 finalized transfers per second measured end-to-end on a 5-node testnet with 1-second blocks and post-quantum signatures. Validator-grade hardware projects to 40-80k.

Pool #3

In Phase 2 the QNC spent on activation goes to Pool #3, which is shared among all active nodes. None of it goes to the publisher.

REP

Reputation-Based Security

No token locking, no slashing of funds. A node that signs two conflicting blocks is proven on chain and excluded from consensus; everyone else keeps full liquidity and an equal say.

📱

Mobile-First Design

A phone or tablet runs a light node by signing a periodic status request. No hashing and no proof-of-work: each answer is one signature, so the device does no sustained work. Keys live in the hardware-backed keystore of the device.

100%

Radical Transparency

Every line of code is public on GitHub: the wallet apps and the explorer under Apache-2.0, the node under the Business Source License 1.1. Verifiable builds ensure the live version matches public code.

Mobile-First Blockchain

A blockchain designed for phones: participation is a signed answer, not proof-of-work

Presence, Not Proof-of-Work

A light node answers a signed status request from the network a few times per four-hour epoch. Between requests the app only sends one signed attestation per epoch. No hashing and no proof-of-work: each answer is one signature, so the phone does no sustained work.

One App on Every Phone and Tablet

The same app and the same screens on iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets: silent push wake-ups for status requests, and an unlock with Face ID, Touch ID, a fingerprint or the device passcode, or an app password on a device without them. On Google Play now; the App Store listing is in preparation.

Hardware-Backed Security

Post-quantum keys are encrypted at rest and protected by the system keystore. A light node is bound to one device by a key in its secure hardware: one device runs one node, and computers and emulators run none.

How Emission Is Split

For each epoch the chain records which nodes were online. The protocol adds a share of that epoch's emission to their node balance — three quarters among light nodes, one quarter among super nodes — and the wallet moves it into itself with an ordinary transaction.

11 Languages Supported

Full localization for global accessibility. Multi-language wallet interface with cultural adaptations.

Economic Model V2 - Sharp Drop Halving

Two activation phases and two reward pools

Phase 1: 1DEV Burn (Current)

1DEV tokens are burned on Solana for node activation. 1,500 1DEV burn for any node type; the amount decreases as the supply burns. The tokens are destroyed and nobody receives them. Transition at 90% burned OR 5 years.

Phase 2: QNC to Pool #3 (Future)

Activation spends QNC, which goes to Pool #3 and is redistributed to all active nodes. The amount scales with network size; the exact schedule is set before Phase 2 opens.

Sharp Drop Halving Innovation

Years 0-20: Standard ÷2 every 4 years | Years 20-24: Sharp drop ÷10 | Years 24+: Resume from low base.

Activation Amount by Network Size

Network size multipliers: 0-100K nodes 0.5x, 100K-300K 1.0x, 300K-1M 2.0x, 1M+ 3.0x. Every Phase 2 activation goes to Pool #3.

Two Reward Pools

1. Base emission on the halving schedule, split each epoch among the nodes recorded as online | 2. Pool #3, fed by Phase 2 activations and shared by all active nodes. Transaction fees go to the block producer.

Post-Quantum Throughout

Signatures: ML-DSA-65 only — for wallets, nodes and consensus alike. Transport between nodes: TLS 1.3 over QUIC with hybrid X25519 + ML-KEM-768 key exchange, authenticated with ML-DSA-65.

Equivocation Is Final

No token locking. Producers and committees are drawn by verifiable randomness from all eligible nodes; a signed proof of double-signing, recorded on chain, removes the offender from every future draw.

Rate Limiting

Per-address limits by request class — 100 transactions and 300 reads a minute, 5 activations an hour — and a bounded pool for signature verification, so a flood of requests cannot starve consensus.

Phase 1 on Solana

Activation burns 1DEV, an SPL token, on Solana; QNet nodes verify the burn transaction themselves. No bridge and no wrapped assets — Phase 2 moves activation to native QNC.
