my quantum btc looking good quantus:native
dashboard telling me that coins bridged over to near after launch have leveled off (ie any kind of miner sell pressure)
while supply very much remaining absorbed by holders (near intents supply staying high - ie in https://t.co/sFrM1jVso6 wallets - while coins on offer side in LPs remains down)
$QTC went from $10 to $186 in 26 days.
$ZEC is worth around $21B.
@QuantusNetwork is only $36M.
Both have a 21M supply cap and use proof of work.
But QTC launched with post-quantum signatures from day one.
Let's understand why Quantus is drawing attention๐

Quantus is building a proof-of-work blockchain designed for a future where quantum computers could threaten today's cryptographic signatures.
Bitcoin and most existing blockchains rely on elliptic-curve cryptography. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer could eventually undermine the signatures used to authorize transactions.
Quantus launched on September 9 with post-quantum cryptography built into its base layer.
Its core features include:
โข ML-DSA signatures, standardized by NIST
โข ML-KEM for peer-to-peer connections
โข Proof of work with a 21M maximum supply
โข Private balances through wormhole addresses
Mining rewards go to wormhole addresses by default, making it harder to link public mining activity directly to a miner's payout address.
The idea is to combine Bitcoin's familiar monetary model with cryptography designed for the quantum era.
Founders Christopher Smith and Joseph Mattia have raised $2.42M in total, including a $770K round led by Balaji Srinivasan at a reported $100M token valuation.

Quantus mainnet launched on September 9, and GPU mining is live.
The network has reported roughly 41 TH/s of hashrate, with block rewards around 0.31 QTC. Emissions decline smoothly rather than following Bitcoin-style halvings.
On October 6, $QTC became available through NEAR Intents. Users can swap in from 180+ assets across 30+ chains, including BTC, ETH, SOL and ZEC. Swaps are designed to be confidential by default.
The current product stack includes:
โข A wallet supporting wormhole and encrypted accounts
โข Private-by-default mining payouts
โข GPU mining on the live network
โข Cross-chain swaps through NEAR Intents
Quantus has also hosted Quantum and Privacy Day with NEAR, bringing more attention to its approach to private, quantum-resistant money.
NEAR Intents gives users a way to access $QTC across chains without relying entirely on centralized exchange listings.
With mining, wallet infrastructure and cross-chain swaps available, the project has several routes through which its ecosystem can grow.

Here are the reported token figures:
โข Price: ~$131
โข Circulating market cap: ~$36M
โข FDV: ~$750M
โข Maximum supply: 21M QTC
โข Circulating supply: ~272K, roughly 1.3% of the maximum
The supply structure is central to the $QTC thesis.
Around 27% of the supply was minted at genesis, approximately 5.67M QTC. Investor, founder and team allocations account for 23%, while the company allocation is 4%.
The company allocation is locked for one year after mainnet launch, followed by a 36-month release schedule. Most genesis coins remain locked rather than burned.
The remaining 73%, or 15.33M QTC, is reserved for mining. Standard block rewards and fees go entirely to miners, with no developer tax.
Quantus uses a smooth emission curve, with rewards tied to the remaining supply rather than periodic halvings.
With only around 272K QTC circulating, the market is still operating with a very small public float. As mining and circulation expand, the distribution of coins will become an important part of the network's development.

Zcash ( $ZEC ) is the closest established comparison: proof of work, a 21M supply cap and shielded balances. Its market cap is roughly $21B.
Quantus sits around $36M on a circulating basis.
Zcash demonstrated that there is a market for private digital money. Quantus is attempting to combine that model with post-quantum signatures from genesis.
Bitcoin provides the other side of the thesis. It has the fixed-supply, mineable monetary model, but its current signature system could face a potential quantum threat if sufficiently capable machines become practical.
The timing remains uncertain, and existing networks could migrate to quantum-resistant cryptography. Quantus is positioning itself for that longer-term challenge before it becomes an immediate concern.
Quantus is still small relative to established privacy-focused networks, while its technical design targets both private transactions and post-quantum security.

Three metrics matter more than another quantum-themed announcement.
โข Mining concentration: Kryptex has reportedly produced around 70% of blocks. That is a major concentration point for a young proof-of-work network.
โข Supply entering circulation: Most genesis coins remain locked, and scheduled unlocks begin one year after mainnet.
โข Actual privacy usage: Watch hashrate, miner distribution, wormhole activity and sustained NEAR Intents volume.
A 21M cap, proof of work, private balances and post-quantum signatures from genesis make Quantus a more coherent proposition than projects that simply attach a quantum narrative to an existing token.
If mining becomes more distributed and wormhole balances see sustained use, Quantus has a credible niche to develop.
Watch the hashrate, pool share and actual privacy usage, not just the quantum narrative.
