About The Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL)

The QRL is a fully open source (MIT Licensed), externally audited enterprise-grade blockchain platform secure against an attack from quantum computers.

This includes:

• Foundational security: To achieve post-quantum security we utilise IETF specified XMSS; a hash-based, forward secure signature scheme with minimal security assumptions that provides reusable addresses. The addition of an extensible address format ensures we are ready for any new post-quantum signature scheme out of nice NIST while ensuring 100% post-quantum coverage. Implementation has been further verified with two audits, one by red4sec and another by x41 D-sec.
• Developer friendliness: Extensive documentation and an API reference gives the tools to build anything, today, on an industrial grade platform that will survive tomorrow.
• User orientated: A consistent UI throughout the whole product space gives a uniform experience accompanied by a full suite of products with binaries.
