🛡 QOGE P2QPK / SLH-DSA Post-Quantum Soft Fork Is Now ACTIVE
Post-quantum signature enforcement is now live on Qogecoin mainnet.
The
P2QPK soft fork has successfully completed its BIP9 activation cycle and is now
ACTIVE on QOGE mainnet.
Activation block: The deployment previously reached
LOCKED_IN at block
, followed by the required activation window.
With activation complete, upgraded Qogecoin nodes now enforce P2QPK transactions using
SLH-DSA, the NIST-standardized stateless hash-based digital signature scheme defined in
FIPS 205.
What is P2QPK?
P2QPK introduces a dedicated post-quantum transaction path to Qogecoin.
Unlike conventional elliptic-curve signatures, SLH-DSA is a
hash-based signature scheme. Its security does not depend on the discrete logarithm problem targeted by Shor's quantum algorithm.
This gives QOGE users a consensus-enforced mechanism for holding and spending funds using post-quantum signatures.
Important: activation does not automatically convert legacy addresses or existing funds into P2QPK outputs. Post-quantum protection applies when P2QPK is actually used, and users intending to rely on it should run software that includes the activated soft-fork rules.
Pre-fork nodes can continue following the chain because this is a
soft fork, but they do not independently validate P2QPK spends and therefore should not be relied upon for P2QPK custody or mining.
Get the Upgraded Node
Running the upgraded node is required for independent P2QPK verification, custody, or mining.

yescryptR16Pointing hashrate at a P2QPK-aware pool means your node-side signaling is handled correctly without needing to build or run a node yourself.
Symbiont Wallet
The
GUI for Symbiont Wallet, designed to provide a user-friendly interface for creating and managing P2QPK post-quantum transactions, is currently in active development.
Until the GUI is released, P2QPK remains primarily intended for testing, development, and use through compatible software and command-line tooling.
