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 SLH-DSA , 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. SLH-DSA Signature Transactions

What Is SLH-DSA?

• SLH-DSA 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 SLH-DSA 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 SLH-DSA signing logic (like Q Safe Wallet).

• Standard Ethereum wallets (e.g., MetaMask) cannot sign transactions unless they integrate post-quantum libraries.
