Quantumnet is live.
Tezos’ first experimental post-quantum testnet brings the core pieces of a quantum-resistant blockchain together in one place for engineers, bakers and the wider technical community to test in the open.

🎧 For five years, @IdaHerself heard the same wish at Tezos events: a social network built on Tezos.
So she and her team built one → @tezcity
Follow artists. Support them with memberships and tez tips.
How it started, on Tuesday Tezday ↓

🔐 Tzel is an experimental post-quantum encrypted ledger on @Tezos https://t.co/RJqblZZ0hV
🏃🏻 The test version is implemented as a smart rollup on the Shadownet test network.
🪚 Over the weekend, @claudeai helped me add Tzel support to the wallet. In this video we show you a test transaction.

👉Don't forget, the TRIBE OF VALIDATORS will be live on X and YouTube tonight at 1900 UK time.
🍾We'll be talking about baking/validating on @Tezos, quantum test networks and no doubt vibe coding. Come and find out how the six of us run our bakers.
🪚We have some OGs lined up for the show. Let's make it a good one!

Happy #TezosTuesday!
This week, @ArchanNair will collect 1000 tez worth of art from the replies and through her own exploring. 🔍 Share your work 👇
Archan Nair is a self-taught visual artist exploring consciousness, interconnectedness, and the mysteries of existence. Creating since 2006, his work blends digital art, illustration, and mixed media.
Tomorrow on Tuesday Tezday, we're joined by @IdaHerself, founder of TezCity.
We'll talk about what's happening on TezCity and open the mic for the community to join in.
If you've been using it, have questions for Ida, or are curious about the project, come hang out with us.
Tuesday, 8 PM UTC.

Q-Day won’t be the right time to start preparing.
Why? Because upgrading cryptography across an entire blockchain ecosystem takes time.
@tezos is already preparing for the post-quantum transition. The work involves more than replacing an algorithm:
1/ Select and implement new cryptographic standards.
2/ Upgrade wallets and applications.
3/ Update baker keys and signing systems.
4/ Test security, compatibility and performance.
5/ Coordinate governance and educate users.
6/ Plan how existing assets and accounts will migrate.
The challenge isn’t just developing quantum-resistant cryptography. It’s deploying it safely across an entire ecosystem.
Tezos’ post-quantum research and experimental initiatives reflect the importance of preparing before quantum computers pose a real cryptographic threat.
The goal isn’t to predict Q-Day. It’s to reduce the risk of being unprepared.
Which part of the transition do you think will be hardest for Tezos and other blockchains to coordinate: wallets, bakers or user migration?
It feels like a Tezos rivival. There are so many wonderful community projects coming up lately.
#TezosCRP for them all:
@webidente for making Tezonia
@IdaHerself for making Tezcity
@libertez_baker for making The Wall
@skllzarmy for making TezTowers
The world runs on metals.
The bridges connecting us. The buildings defining our cities. The trains driving us forward. Metals are a building block of global infrastructure.
And with @LME_news bringing the global metals industry to London this month, we are putting https://t.co/wkkO22JcM2 in the spotlight across the city 🇬🇧
🔍 Delegate or stake? Two different things on Tezos.
Delegate → your tez stays liquid in your wallet.
Stake → your tez is frozen, shares your baker's slashing risk and earns a bigger share of rewards.
Same baker. Your call.

What does it actually mean to support artists on Tezos?
This week we talk about about paying it forward, we dig into creative projects on TTCrowd that deserve a closer look, and VAULTED opens its doors to artists for Season One.
Plus, collector Ida Belle tells us why she built TezCity on TezTalks Live.
