Day one of the QMS Testnet, and our CTO is going live to walk you through it.
Join @Christopher_QMS to hear why we're building QMS, what we're testing, and what's next. Plus answers to your questions from Discord.
Today at 10:30 AM UTC.

The QMS white paper is now live.
It outlines the network we’re building: a layer 1 for the post-quantum era, featuring proof-of-useful-work consensus, no public-key signatures in block production, a separate post-quantum finality layer, EVM-compatible execution, and a path for quantum hardware to join the miner network.
The final section covers how we plan to roll these pieces out progressively over time.

1) Cross-rollup messaging is broken. Fragmented L2 liquidity and slow finality bridges force users to wait hours for settlement, killing cross-chain dApp composability.

Adding quantum-resistant signatures to a blockchain leaves a separate job: making them usable and safe in a wallet.
1️⃣ Circle’s Arc can check quantum-resistant signatures in smart contracts. Native wallet transactions using them are still planned.
2️⃣ Ledger’s review of SHRINCS, a draft Bitcoin proposal, highlights a recovery challenge. Rolling back the counter that tracks used signing keys could cause key reuse and enable forgery. When the signing history is lost or uncertain, the design supports recovery through a larger fallback signature.
3️⃣ Researchers also recovered a secret key from an implementation of Falcon, a quantum-resistant signature scheme. The attack required physical access to inject one hardware fault, then about a million ordinary signatures.
