Technical NEWS AND UPDATES

Quickly setup nodes with QRL Cannon

technical   community   release  

QRL nodes can now be launched from the cloud without the need for technical knowledge. Simply follow the instructions at qrlcannon.net, and with a nominal fee (in QRL), launch nodes to help the network and become a part of the QRL network today!

Highlights

Celebrating four years of QRL

On June 26th 2018, and after two years of meticulous development followed by several third-party audits, the first enterprise-grade post-quantum secure blockchain using the signature scheme, XMSS, was released to the world, called the Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL). As visionaries, we had the foresight to use XMSS which is currently a NIST recommendation, along with an extensible address format for crypto-agility.

Right out of the gate we launched with a 100% post-quantum secure address space with GUI wallets for Mac, Windows, and Linux and support for tokens, notarisation, and an amazing api and documentation. The future of the QRL protocol is an eco-friendly public blockchain driven by proof-of-stake that provides users with post-quantum safe transactions and Turing-complete smart contract capabilities. Project Zond aims to harness this vision, and is something we’ve been quietly working on since the release of the codebase and open call for research grants.
