  EnQlave — the quantum safe for your crypto assets


- [Decentralised voting and trustless autonomous hard forking](/blog/decentralised-voting-and-trustless-autonomous-hard-forking.md)

  Back in 2012/3 when I first became obsessed with bitcoin it was obvious to me there were many more applications than value transfer for bitcoin-like systems to improve the world. Chief among these was decentralised voting for use in provably fair and secure political elections. This was long before the QRL existed and even before the consensus related issues around bitcoin and the block-size fiasco.

  Quantum computing that can break blockchain is coming, and it’s time the blockchain community accepts it — so we can prepare ourselves.


- [Post-quantum secure multisignature wallets](/blog/post-quantum-secure-multisignature-wallets.md) — multisig

  Whilst our current plan is to transition to an abstracted unified transaction format with the release of our ‘silicon’ smart contract platform (pencilled for release mid 2019), we have decided internally to integrate multisignature functionality into the QRL early in our upcoming hard fork.


- [The Start of a Journey](/blog/the-start-of-a-journey.md)

  TL;DR — We are launched! The QRL network is one week old. Brief overview of media coverage, and a few words on what comes next


- [Statefulness and security](/blog/statefulness-and-security.md)

  QRL has a highly unusual signature scheme to secure our accounts which is stateful — XMSS.


- [Blockchain is here to stay — but for how long?](/blog/blockchain-is-here-to-stay-but-for-how-long.md)

  Bitcoin furiously led the charge. Decentralised, trustless, scarce, cryptographically secure digital cash transactions without the need for financial intermediaries available to anyone with an internet connection for the first time. And cool — a better form of money there has never been in the history of mankind.
