Insider Brief
- Quranium has launched its mainnet as the first blockchain designed from the ground up to resist quantum computing threats, offering a security-first approach beyond traditional encryption methods.
- Quantum computing advances from companies like Google and IBM are accelerating concerns over cryptographic vulnerabilities, with analysts warning that existing blockchain encryption could be broken within years.
- Quranium integrates the SPHINX+ post-quantum cryptographic scheme and is developing a quantum-resistant smart contract framework, cross-chain functionality, and enterprise adoption initiatives to future-proof blockchain security.
PRESS RELEASE — Quranium, the world’s natively quantum-uncrackable layer one blockchain, has officially launched its mainnet, setting a new standard for digital security in an era of advancing quantum computing.
Unlike traditional blockchains that use vulnerable encryption schemes and simply ‘patch up’ limited aspects of their technologies with quantum-resistant add-ons, Quranium has been designed from the ground up to be entirely immune to quantum threats, making it the only infrastructure truly prepared for the future.
“Blockchain security cannot be an afterthought. We’ve built Quranium to operate in the real world, where enterprises, governments, and institutions require security that doesn’t expire with the next technological leap,” said Kapil Dhiman, CEO of Quranium. “With our mainnet now live, we are delivering a blockchain that is not just a theoretical safeguard against quantum attacks – it’s a practical, real-world solution for securing digital transactions, assets, and enterprise operations today and for decades to come.”
Quantum Computing is no longer a distant threat. Companies like Google, IBM, and China’s quantum initiatives have accelerated progress toward quantum systems capable of breaking classical cryptography. Once achieved, this will render traditional blockchains – secured by vulnerable encryption schemes like ECDSA – obsolete. Quantum computing posing a significant threat to current encryption methods safeguarding digital assets has been well-reported and is becoming a hot topic. For example:
EY warns that classical cryptosystems could be cracked in as little as five years. (https://www.ey.com/en_uk/insights/innovation/why-organizations-should-prepare-for-quantum-computing-cybersecurity-now) PwC highlights that “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks are already underway, meaning encrypted data is being stolen today to be cracked tomorrow. (https://www.pwc.nl/en/topics/blogs/quantum-computing-is-our-data-still-safe.html) Deloitte estimates that over 4 million BTC (worth $40B+) are vulnerable to quantum attacks due to outdated address schemes. (https://www.insidequantumtechnology.com/news-archive/deloitte-about-25-of-bitcoins-in-circulation-are-vulnerable-to-a-quantum-attack/)
Quranium eliminates the risk posed to current blockchains by integrating SPHINX+, a post-quantum cryptographic signature scheme that ensures transactions and smart contracts remain secure even in a world where quantum computers are operational. This is not a security layer added as an afterthought; it is the core of Quranium’s protocol.
Beyond security, Quranium is built to function in the real-world economy, offering a platform for enterprises, financial institutions, and developers to build on a network that can withstand both classical and quantum cyber threats. Users can now experience this security firsthand by using QSafe Wallet, the quantum-proof wallet designed to safeguard digital assets on the Quranium network.
The Roadmap: From Mainnet to Mass Adoption
With the mainnet launch, Quranium is now entering a phase of rapid ecosystem development:
- A planned Layer 2 scaling solution will ensure that Quranium maintains high throughput while remaining quantum-secure.
- Quranium is engaging with real-world businesses, fintech firms, and institutional players who require quantum-proof security for their digital transactions.
- Development is underway to enable Quranium to interact securely with other blockchain networks (cross-chain functionality) while maintaining quantum resistance.
- Quranium’s upcoming quantum-resistant smart contract framework will allow developers to build secure applications in a world where quantum threats are real.
- The Quranium native token, $QRN, is set to be listed on major exchanges from July 2025, further expanding its role in the blockchain economy.
As quantum threats become more imminent, blockchain users, enterprises, and developers must reassess whether the platforms they rely on today will still be secure tomorrow. Quranium’s mainnet launch signals a shift from outdated cryptographic standards to a future-proof architecture.
“We are at an inflection point,” Dhiman added. “There will be a moment when quantum computers disrupt existing cryptographic systems. When that happens, only those who have prepared will be secure. The time to act is now.”
Users can get started today by downloading QSafe Wallet to store and transact digital assets securely on Quranium’s quantum-proof infrastructure.
