Hi everyone

We are happy to introduce Doge Protocol, a post quantum blockchain with smart contracts support.

https://dogeprotocol.org (https://dogeprotocol.org)

What is Doge Protocol?
Doge Protocol will be a combination of decentralized networks, smart contracts and decentralized apps (dapps), that form the backbone of this decentralization initiative. The primary component of Doge Protocol will be a quantum-resistant blockchain that supports smart contracts, side chains and is scalable in the number of transactions. A robust and scalable blockchain will be required to serve as the backbone for executing the vision of Doge Protocol, upon which other building blocks can be developed.

Quantum Resistance
There is also a specific reason why this blockchain must be quantum-resistant. Due to the advent of quantum computers, there is an imminent threat to existing asymmetric encryption systems like RSA, ECDSA that are used to secure almost all the current blockchains. Using algorithms like Shor’s (rapid integer factorization) and Grover’s (quadratic mining speedup on Proof of Work systems), Quantum Computers can break current blockchains in different ways. One of the visions of the Doge Protocol is that it should be secure in the future as well. Security itself evolves over time, hence no algorithm should be deemed future proof, including current quantum-resistant algorithms. However, but from the current landscape, quantum computers are a viable threat to blockchains. Hence the vision is to build a blockchain that is resistant to currently known quantum computer threats and keep it evolving based on the changing security landscape. The actual technical details of the quantum resistance will be published in the Quantum Resistant Blockchain whitepaper, but at a high level, one or more of the known post-quantum digital signature algorithms like Dilithium, Falcon or Rainbow will be used to secure this blockchain from Quantum Computer based threats.

Consensus System
The blockchain will also need a consensus system that is secure, available, supports sharding (for scalability in terms of the number of transactions per second) and supports satellite chains (see the section below). At this point, various consensus systems including Proof-of-Stake (PoS), Delegated Proof-Of-Stake (DPoS), Hybrid model (PoS + PoW) are being evaluated. A follow-up whitepaper will detail the consensus model that will be used for the blockchain.

Doge Protocol Token
Doge Protocol Token (dogep) was released in September 2021, fairly on the  Ethereum blockchain, with 100% of liquidity added to UniSwap and SushiSwap. A cap of 0.99% tokens per account was also enforced. The liquidity was also locked in UniCrypt till 2050. This token will be used for various DAPPS and also give the holders a stake in the upcoming Doge Protocol Blockchain and also potentially stake in the upcoming satellite chains (see the section on satellite chains below).

Satellite Chains
Satellite Chains are other blockchains of the protocol that support other use cases like audio & video streaming, file storage, key-value systems etc. Not to be confused with “side chains”, these satellite chains will be loosely coupled with the main blockchain and expose a different set of capabilities. Satellite chains may also use a different coin but will integrate into the main chain. More on this in a follow-up whitepaper.

Hi there! I'd be very much interested in reading some ELI5-level explanation about the problem of non quantum ready blockchains, and what Doge protocol solves.

Also, +1 for calling it a "Quantum whitepaper"  ;)

I am reading this topic and immediately remembered that there was already something similar - Qogecoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5366189.0
As if one author. Why Dogecoin Based?
Because what is the hype?
Technologically, it is better to create using the example of bitcoin or ethereum.

Good question! While the name of the coin has the word "Doge" because its fun and meme-worthy, the underlying technology is entirely different.
While Doge Coin, Bitcoin and current Ethereum network use proof-of-work consensus, Doge Protocol will use proof-of-stake consensus.
That, coupled with the quantum-resistance and sharding, will provide a robust blockchain technology.

Please see the Quantum Resistance Whitepaper for details: https://dogeprotocol.org/whitepapers/Doge-Protocol-Blockchain-Quantum-Resistance-Whitepaper.pdf (https://dogeprotocol.org/whitepapers/Doge-Protocol-Blockchain-Quantum-Resistance-Whitepaper.pdf)

In 1994, Peter Shor invented an algorithm that using Quantum Computers, can break asymmetric cryptography algorithms like RSA, ECDSA. The elliptic curve based cryptosystems that are used to secure Bitcoin, Ethereum and most of the other blockchains are vulnerable to quantum computers. Because of this, user accounts are no longer secure and can result in forged transactions or account take-over. The same applies to validator accounts in proof-of-stake systems. Doge Protocol will support multiple quantum-resistant algorithms like Falcon, Dilithium which are candidates for standardization as of NIST round 3. https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/post-quantum-cryptography/round-3-submissions (https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/post-quantum-cryptography/round-3-submissions)

Detailed information on how quantum computers can break current blockchains and how Doge Protocol can secure is given in whitepaper at https://dogeprotocol.org/whitepapers/Doge-Protocol-Blockchain-Quantum-Resistance-Whitepaper.pdf (https://dogeprotocol.org/whitepapers/Doge-Protocol-Blockchain-Quantum-Resistance-Whitepaper.pdf).

The quantum blockchain is immutable because the photons it contains do not currently exist, but still exist and are readable. This means that the entire blockchain is visible but cannot be "touched", and the only entry you can try to tamper with is the latest entry. In fact, the researchers wrote, “In this kind of spatial entanglement, if an attacker tries to tamper with any photon, the entire blockchain will immediately fail.” When do think that Doge Protocol will be ready to use?

Sorry, Doge Protocol blockchain doesn't have anything to do with photons and different from what you had described. Maybe we should clarify and call it a "Quantum Resistant Blockchain" instead.

Doge Protocol testnet is Q1 2022 and mainnet is Q2 2022

Additionally, the proof-of-stake consensus whitepaper is being released on November 2021. This should give a glimpse on the underlying capabilities and differences compared to other blockchains.

In recent time we see many companies are working on quantum blockchain. And many of them are really good. How do you differentiate from them? Why would you be more preferable? 

The problem is that the advent of the era of quantum computing will definitely pose an existential crisis for the security of blockchain encryption. Although blockchain cryptography is currently sufficiently secure to prevent hackers from intruding, once it is fully developed, it cannot resist the power of quantum computing. However, although quantum may be the biggest threat to blockchain, it may also be its biggest hope.

First, Doge Protocol will support multiple asymmetric cryptosystems (like Dilithium, Falcon) instead of just one that other blockchains use. This will give a higher degree of security, because the network can transition to another signature scheme if one has been found vulnerable in the future. Secondly, Doge Protocol will also allow private-key rotations and account rules, thus making accounts more secure. Quantum Resistance is only one of the key features of the Doge Protocol blockchain. Doge Protocol will also use a hybrid proof-of-stake consensus system that supports sharding, thus higher TPS and low txn fees. The details of this consensus mechanism will be given as part of the Consensus Whitepaper release next month. The other important feature is "satellite chains" that allows extensibility to support use-cases like decentralized file-storage.  For details, see vision paper at https://dogeprotocol.org/whitepapers/Doge-Protocol-Vision-Paper-1.pdf (https://dogeprotocol.org/whitepapers/Doge-Protocol-Vision-Paper-1.pdf)

Is this quantum computing the biggest threat to crypto or it is just complementary to it?

the arrival of the quantum computing era will definitely pose an existential crisis for the security of blockchain encryption. Is Doge protocol secured from that?

Yes, thats the point of a quantum resistant blockchain. However since no algorithm may be safe from future advances in technology, we term it as "quantum resistant" instead of "quantum proof".

So can we claim that till now this is the most secured technology in this field?

Sorry, Don’t get the thing, are you building your own chain? Then why you create the token on etherchain?

Is proof of work the main issue that can be a threat? Any other components also have some week point?

In my opinion, proof of work presupposes the fairest and fairest distribution of coins.  Everyone can start mining and earn coins.
 In the case of a POS, coins have to be purchased first, which limits many participants.

Which is a valid point, because PoW ensures that there are no restrictions on who can come and become part of the network. Which is why Doge Protocol PoS scheme is hybrid. In the immediate mainnet release, it will be purely proof-of-stake.

However with the future hybrid mode, PoW block winners will get a validation stake; its a bit complicated to explain in this short comment but will be explained in detail in the consensus paper coming up Nov 2021.

But we need to wait for PoW to run primarily on green and affordable energy, before the blockchain switches to Hybrid mode.

Good point, there are two purposes to token on Ethereum chain:

1) Proof-of-Stake systems need something to stake on to kickstart the network, in this case it will be the initial tokens on Ethereum chain.

2) The community wants to ensure a fair launch, so that everyone gets a fair chance to get a stake in the upcoming blockchain, while it is under development.

This is similar to main other chains that first launch as a token on Eth and then later move over to the new blockchain.

To clarify, Public Announcements were made on May and then again on August and many more updates leading into Sep 1. BitcoinTalk is only one of the various social medias and not the only one.  Please see other social medias.

1) Twitter announcement was may as far as May 2021 and then again on August 1 with various updates leading to the launch on Sep 1.
2) The original Telegram was a channel in which announcements were made on August 1 with various updates. (t.me/DogeProtocol) (the group was created to enable discussions later on based on feedback)
3) Website launch details in DogeProtocol.org with announcement dates can also be reviewed in Archive.org (WayBackMachine)

We understand different people have different opinon on largest forums and such. Twitter & other social medias are where the common man & crypto user base is at and Doge Protocol community will focus our energies on them. Also why crypto projects focus on daily status updates, announcements etc. on these media instead.

On a different note, Doge Protocol will be a combined multi-fork of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, DogeP tokens, in that sense, the first holders are actually Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin holders.

Note to readers: please reach out in Twitter or Telegram or Discord for any questions, this forum might not be checked actively by community members (in case you see lack of activity or replies).

The community is excited on the road to mainnet!  Roadmap including items delivered so far at https://dogeprotocol.org/#roadmap (https://dogeprotocol.org/#roadmap)
