Quantum Resistant Ledger ( $QRL ) @QRLedger

They promised a quantum-resistant blockchain since genesis.
They delivered it.

@Ukafia2 @GabrielQuantic @CoinMarketCap Based off of the ethereum symbol in the bottom right hand corner of the qrl logo, it might be pulling from an ERC20 token that was migrated from in 2018, a handful of years ago. What app is this?

[Dr. Joseph Kearney @Joseph_Kearney]

Bitcoin has at least 186.7 million UTXOs that need migrating to post-quantum cryptography before quantum computers break ECDSA-256.

The absolute minimum time to do this from my research paper, packing every block optimally, zero normal transactions, is 76 days. That's not realistic. It's a theoretical floor.

In reality, Bitcoin still needs to process normal transactions during migration. So the question becomes: given a quantum computing deadline, what percentage of every block must be reserved for upgrade transactions?

If we take IonQ's roadmap (~1,600 logical qubits by end of 2028), that's roughly 1,032 days from today. The minimum block space required: ~7.4% of every single block, starting now.

But that assumes migration starts today. It hasn't. There's no agreed signature scheme, no consensus on an upgrade path, and historically Bitcoin upgrades take years of debate (remember SegWit?). Every day of delay pushes that percentage higher.

I've built an interactive calculator where you can adjust the deadline yourself and see what it means for Bitcoin's capacity.

@JKim_Tran @IanSmith_HSA @Algorand @NervosNetwork @cellframenet @QRLedger @Minima_Global @TheQuantumCoin @btc_quantum @quranium_org @NaorisProtocol @QANplatform As it currently stands, QRL 1.x (PoW, RandomX) uses XMSS for the signature layer. QRL 2.0 (PoS), currently in testnet V1, uses ML-DSA-87.

Perhaps as a future consideration, ECC exposure would be a decent metric. Doesn't do a chain any good if one person is using pq-signatures.

[Jack Matier | Ω @jackalyst]

@NealinNFT @QANplatform @cellframenet @QRLedger Right, Uniswap would need to be built on a post-quantum secure blockchain that's EVM-Friendly, which is what $QRL is building towards with QRL 2.

As it stands, though I still use it as my preferred swap service (especially USDT <> ETH), Uniswap isn't post-quantum secure.

@TheOmiHomie1 @BiconomyCom Is there a particular error you're getting with them? Looks like it's displaying my wallet deposit address fine and their public wallet is receiving deposits: https://t.co/86CBQiwOgL

[QRL: The Quantum Resistant Ledger @QRLedger]

How are Bitcoin developers thinking about the quantum question?

In our latest QRL Show episode, we’re joined by Hunter Beast (@cryptoquick), Bitcoin & Rust developer and author of BIP-360, for a thoughtful discussion on Bitcoin, post-quantum security, and more.

Part 1 is live...this is a must-watch 👇

[Craig Clement | Ω @craig_clement]

Tagging @RushCMC hopefully to help us out.

We've been verified with CMC since 2023 after filling out the relevant paperwork, now suddenly unverified but not sure why?

We've made massive progress going from ranking 800+ to top 200 the past year and hate to see momentum stopped!

[Volt Mine @volt_mine]

This is a friendly last reminder that the VOLT-MINE QRL mining pool will cease operations on January 1, 2026.

As previously announced, while mining will stop on that date, the VOLT-MINE dashboard will remain accessible until July 1, 2026.

[Jack Matier | Ω @jackalyst]

@iBobbyShell @nic_carter @Crypto_Mags Like post-quantum secure TLS, SSH, Facetime/iMessages, iOS, AWS Payments, Kubernetes, Azure, etc. Either rolled out or being rolled out and with an easier migration path. Seems like everyone is taking it seriously to me and the S&P500 will be fine.

[Iain Wood @DrIainWood]

@coinbureau It is a lot easier to make a post-quantum chain EVM compatible than it is to make a legacy EVM chain post-quantum secure.

For this reason $QRL (PQ for 7 years already) has been finessing PQ PoS and smart functionality before forking in Q1 2026.

[Jack Matier | Ω @jackalyst]

@drrrroooppp @QRLedger Sorry to hear that! The Ledger integration can be particular requiring the Ledger device to only be connected to a QRL Desktop app. If you encounter any issues in the future, drop us an email at [email protected] or join our Discord at https://t.co/HbBqxf7JIC.

[Mystic Traveler | Ω 💹🧲 @MysticTravel5]

The Zond upgrade represents a philosophical and technological inflection point for the Quantum Resistant Ledger ( $QRL ). It's not merely an iteration of protocol. It's an assertion of purpose.

In a blockchain landscape driven by speed, hype, and short-term incentives, Zond stands as a manifestation of long-range thinking, a declaration that cryptographic integrity is not negotiable in a world approaching the quantum horizon.

At its core, Zond transforms $QRL from a pioneering idea into a living, evolving organism capable of withstanding the next paradigm of computation.

By integrating a high-performance EVM-compatible execution layer, Zond bridges quantum resistance with full smart contract functionality, uniting two worlds often seen as opposites: the cautious rigor of post-quantum security and the restless creativity of decentralized innovation.

@_Checkmatey_ @caprioleio Some percentage of the market might be taking it into consideration if this chart is anything to go by.

Of course there's any number of things that can cause a divergence, and it only goes back to around Feb of 2024 https://t.co/ss4lb586vp

Massive gap between #Bitcoin and the Global M2 waiting to be filled, just a matter of time

Lock in because it will be savage ⚡️

[Jack Matier | Ω @jackalyst]

@caprioleio This might be one of the most depressing threads on the internet to scroll through right now if you're in the blockchain space.

[Jack Matier | Ω @jackalyst]

@caprioleio Going into a bit more detail for #4, look up "Brace for impact: ECDLP challenges for quantum cryptanalysis".

They seem to reach a similar conclusion with potentially different datasets, not sure if @pauli_group was consulted?

[Pauli Group @pauli_group]

The first attack on 256-bit ECC will plausibly happen between 2027-2033.

[Jack Matier | Ω @jackalyst]

@caprioleio @_Checkmatey_ @themoneyrebel @philostamm Tease.

But it's true. Multiple things now point to this being plausibly imminent enough to at least prepare for a 2027 break. 2T at stake. This isn't your IoT toaster, $BTC coins matter.

Security > speed & size in this case.
