[ANN] Quantum-Lattice (QL) - Post-Quantum Layer 1 Blockchain (ML-DSA-65) | Live

[AlthaafM]

Quantum-Lattice (QL)
A Layer 1 blockchain signed entirely with ML-DSA-65 — the finalized NIST post-quantum standard (FIPS 204)

The Problem
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and nearly every major chain sign transactions using elliptic-curve cryptography (ECDSA) — secure against classical computers, but vulnerable to a sufficiently powerful quantum computer via Shor's algorithm. This isn't purely theoretical: adversaries can record public blockchain data today and decrypt it once quantum hardware catches up, a strategy known as "harvest now, decrypt later."

What Quantum-Lattice Does Differently
Every single transaction is signed using ML-DSA-65, standardized by NIST as FIPS 204 in 2024, built on lattice-based hardness assumptions believed secure against both classical and quantum attacks.

What's Live Right Now

• A real, working Layer 1 node — proof-of-work mining, automatic difficulty retargeting
• A non-custodial browser wallet — keys generated and signed entirely client-side via WASM, recoverable via 24-word BIP39 seed phrase
• Mining clients for Linux and Windows, TLS-secured, rewards paid directly to your own wallet address
• A public block explorer with live chain data
• A "Security & Transparency" page with real, independently reproducible cryptographic test vectors
• Full source code, open and Apache 2.0 licensed on GitHub

Honest Disclosure
This is currently a small node cluster operated by the development team — broader decentralization is the natural next step as real usage grows. It has not yet undergone independent third-party security audit, though it has had careful internal review with test vectors published openly for anyone to verify. We'd rather state this plainly than have anyone assume otherwise.

Developed by
Futuristic AI — an independent systems engineering lab based in Durban, South Africa, specializing in post-quantum cryptography and low-level systems engineering.

Happy to answer any technical questions.

This is not investment advice. QL has no exchange listing at this time.

after mining some coins, i see there is 48 ql per block at time of this post show 1438 blocks X 48=69,024  and the total outstanding is 5,269,024    so my guess is there is a 5.2M premine? i dont see any info about this on website. can you shed some lite on this just for clarity?

how is this calculated? if a big cpu farm comes onboard, mines gets a bag, and leaves ,at what point will the diff drop back down when they leave?
