Quantus

Quantum Secure Encrypted Money. Quantus has been secured with ML-DSA since genesis. 33,400+ accounts and counting. QTC is now available on @solana through @Raydium, powered by @near_intents.

Last week in quantum: A @Bitcoin Core developer floated "quantum landmines" to make theft expensive. Cory Fields posted the idea to the bitcoin-dev mailing list on November 4 and labeled it a thought experiment. An owner would prepare in advance by creating a small quantum-safe output that secretly commits to proof they own a vulnerable coin. Anyone moving that coin would first have to lock up collateral from a quantum-safe wallet for a waiting period. If the real owner reveals their proof during that window, they keep their coins and claim the attacker's collateral too. The idea protects only owners who still hold their keys, and the enforcement rules haven't been written. Hong Kong gave its banks a post-quantum toolkit. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology launched the Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Toolkit on November 2. It helps banks take stock of their cryptographic assets and dependencies, set transition priorities, work with suppliers, and build practical timelines. The banking sector's initial Quantum Preparedness Index score was 2.3 out of 10. The HKMA is targeting full quantum readiness, a score of 10, by 2030. @IBM, @AMD, and @ORNL launched a quantum error-correction platform. The co-design platform pairs IBM's 120-qubit Quantum Nighthawk processor with Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Umbra supercomputer, which runs on AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs and 5th Gen EPYC CPUs. It sits at IBM's quantum facility in New York and connects to the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility. Researchers will use it to test hybrid quantum-classical work on error correction, decoding, circuit compilation, and software orchestration. It supports the Department of Energy's Quantum Genesis Mission, which aims for a scientifically relevant quantum computer by 2028. Ethereum moved its post-quantum target up a year. At Devcon 8 in Mumbai, @ethereumfndn researcher @drakefjustin said he hopes to finish Ethereum's post-quantum transition by December 2028, a year ahead of the earlier 2029 target. Named signature candidates include leanSPHINCS and leanXMSS.

Got a spare GPU? You can mine QTC with it. Proof of work, a 21 million supply cap, and no dev tax. If you mine with a pool, set your payout address to your self-custody Quantus Wallet.

EVM chains can offer post-quantum accounts without starting over. @YuviLightman’s new paper lays out a practical approach built on two changes: - Let accounts switch signature schemes while keeping their addresses - Make post-quantum signatures cheap to verify The approach covers user accounts and operator keys. Consensus keys and pairing-based proofs need separate upgrades. The paper covers those too.
