Quantus Launches Quantum-Safe Mainnet to Mitigate Crypto Security Risks
- Quantus launched its mainnet on September 9, featuring a supply cap of 21 million QTC coins and open proof-of-work mining.
- The network uses ML-DSA post-quantum cryptography, finalized by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2024, to resist quantum computer attacks.
- Quantus aims to address a $2.7 trillion crypto security risk associated with potential quantum computing threats.
- The network supports privacy-preserving transactions and targets a throughput of up to 430 transactions per second with its aggregation layer.
- AI advancements are accelerating cryptographic research, highlighting the importance of Quantus’s proactive approach to security.
Quantus has introduced a blockchain network designed to withstand future threats from quantum computing by implementing post-quantum cryptography from inception. The platform’s focus on security is underscored by its aim to protect an estimated $2.7 trillion in crypto market value potentially at risk from advanced computational attacks.
By launching with ML-DSA technology and targeting high transaction throughput, Quantus seeks to establish itself as a leader in safeguarding against evolving cryptographic vulnerabilities.(Source)
