Join us on our Journey
Our Roadmap
A clear vision of a resilient Post Quantum store of value and communication layer is only as good as the plan and perseverance it's backed up by.
The Next Generation
Project Zond
Build with the next evolution of post-quantum secure distributed ledger technology.
QRL Project Zond eliminates the complexities of making your Ethereum or Solidity-based project post-quantum secure. With minimal adjustments, convert your existing Solidity code to Hyperion and deploy directly to our chain. It's fast, seamless, and future-proof. Show your customers you're not just keeping up. You're leading the charge on quantum security with project Zond.
Key Features, at a glance
Proof-of-Stake Blockchain
Zond runs on a scalable, energy-efficient proof-of-stake consensus, without compromising security or sustainability.
Stake on testnetEVM Smart Contract Capability
QRL Project Zond offers EVM capabilities, allowing developers to deploy powerful, flexible dApps within a quantum-secure architecture while maintaining a familiar Ethereum development experience.
Deploy your dApp on testnetNIST-Approved DSA
QRL Project Zond integrates CRYSTALS-Dilithium/ML-DSA and SPHINCS+/SLH-DSA, NIST-approved post-quantum digital signature algorithms, providing a secure foundation for protecting blockchain assets against future cryptographic threats using vetted, standardised encryption.
What Makes QRL Quantum Resistant? (video)
Beta-Testnet
Post-Quantum Cryptography Integration
Review the PQC landscape and integrate Dilithium.
New Address Format
Implement and fully integrate the updated address structure.
Consensus Optimization
Fine-tune consensus protocol parameters to ensure optimal system stability and performance.
System Cleanup & Refinement
Update OPCode logic, enhance ZVM ecosystem tooling, and refactor the codebase for improved maintainability.
Zond Web3 Wallet
Provide a web3 wallet for creating accounts, importing accounts and sending transactions over the Zond blockchain.
Testnet V1
New Address Format (With SPHINCS+)
Implement and fully integrate an updated address format to support SPHINCS+
Further Post-Quantum Cryptography Integration
Fully integrate the SPHINCS+ and any ML-DSA changes as required by NIST to bolster the system's resilience against quantum computing threats.
Supplementary tooling and Initial VortexIDE Support
Provide supplementary tooling and initial support for Vortex IDE (Remix IDE) to streamline the development process.
Network Performance Optimization
Refine and adjust network parameter values to ensure the system operates smoothly and efficiently. This involves analyzing current configurations, identifying potential bottlenecks, and implementing optimal settings that support reliable and high-performance network interactions.
Testnet V2/V3/V*
Each testnet phase in our roadmap progressively enhances our platform's functionality and refinement, with each iteration serving as a milestone that brings us closer to a seamless and robust launch.
Comprehensive Security Audit & Review
A thorough audit of the project's code, with a focus on cryptography and security, to identify areas for improvement and ensure the overall quality of the codebase.

Looking at what we've built
Our Current Features
A visionary blockchain with digital asset security as a core value
After being built from the ground up with post-quantum security at its foundation, the QRL went through two years of testing and multiple external audits before the release of mainnet.
Crypto-agility with an extensible address format
The introduction and solidification of variable key heights and signature space allows QRL to ensure future compatibility with almost anything. Our blockchain includes the possibility to upgrade signature schemes (XMSS, SPHINCS, Falcon, + future) and through an address format update, support different cryptographic hash functions (SHA2_256, SHAKE_128, SHAKE256 etc).
Full multi-platform wallet support
Weighted threshold multisignature transactions
Advanced multisignature addresses & transactions allowing for a wide range of custodial scenarios for secure asset management.
Ephemeral messaging system (EMS)
File notarisation
Fraud prevention through the use of quantum secure notarisation easy accessible through a clean user interface.
Documentation, API's and Tooling
Fully documented with API’s and tooling to get started building, deploying, and maintaining digital assets.
Planning Ahead
Current QRL improvement proposal (QIPs)
- QIP 002
A standard message encoding format to indicate encoded data in MessageTransaction transactions
