Tidecoin lore hits different now.
In 2020, the idea was simple:
When the quantum threat became real, there should already be a Bitcoin-like supply of quantum-resistant coins in the wild.
Not launched after the panic.
Not migrated during the panic.
Already mined.
BTC: ~20M issued.
TDC: ~18.8M issued.
The clock was the thesis.
Falcon is the quiet part of post-quantum crypto.
Not the loudest signature scheme.
The compact one.
Falcon-512: 666-byte signatures.
NTRU lattices. NIST-selected. Built for chains where every byte lives forever.
Most blockchains still need a migration story.
Tidecoin doesn’t.
Genesis: December 27, 2020.
Falcon from block zero.
Tidecoin genesis: December 27, 2020.
Coinbase message literally quoted the first photonic quantum supremacy paper: Jiuzhang.
Not a roadmap. A timestamp.
About 1 in 3 BTC is already sitting behind exposed public keys.
Post-quantum addresses don’t save a chain retroactively. Old coins still have to migrate.
Harvest today. Decrypt tomorrow.
Tidecoin started on the other side.
While @solana just chose Falcon for post-quantum security…
Tidecoin has been running Falcon 512 natively from genesis since Dec 27, 2020.
✅ 5+ years live
✅ 2.3M+ blocks secured
✅ Zero incidents
✅ Smallest PK+sig (~1,563 bytes)
✅ NIST Category 1 quantum resistance
@KayBlockchain At tidecoin - we are running Falcon-512 post-quantum safe from GENESIS (no migration necessary) since December 27, 2020 - OVER 5 YEARS. Over 2,500,000 blocks secured.
Falcon is a good choice.
