Quranium
Quranium Chain is a post-quantum secure EVM-compatible blockchain designed to protect against future threats from quantum computing. Below is a detailed breakdown of its supported features and key considerations:
1. Native Token Transfers (QRN)
What It Means
Users can send and receive QRN , the native token of the Quranium Chain, just like ETH on Ethereum or MATIC on Polygon.
How It Works
QRN is used for:
Gas fees: Paying transaction fees.
Staking/delegation: Participating in network security.
Value transfer: Sending funds between accounts.
Transactions are signed using SLHDSA , a post-quantum digital signature algorithm .
Why It Matters
Unlike traditional blockchains that use ECDSA signatures (vulnerable to quantum attacks), Quranium ensures long-term security even if quantum computers become viable.
2. SLHDSA Signature Transactions
What Is SLHDSA?
SLHDSA stands for Stateless Hash-Based Digital Signature Algorithm .
It is a NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptographic scheme , part of the SPHINCS+ family.
Unlike ECDSA (used by Ethereum), it does not rely on elliptic curves but on hash functions, making it resistant to quantum attacks.
How It’s Used
Every transaction on Quranium Chain is signed with an SLHDSA private key .
The corresponding public key is used to derive the wallet address (similar to Ethereum-style Keccak-based addresses).
This ensures all user actions (e.g., sending tokens, interacting with smart contracts) are quantum-safe .
Implications
Wallets must support SLHDSA signing logic (like QSafe Wallet).
Standard Ethereum wallets (e.g., MetaMask) cannot sign transactions unless they integrate post-quantum libraries.
