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.
