The First BlockchainPost-Quantum from Genesis
QCoin is engineered to be secure against the threats of tomorrow. By integrating post-quantum cryptography from day one, we are building a permanent, decentralized, and truly future-proof digital currency.
The Evolution of Proof of Work
Bitcoin created a revolution. QCoin fortifies it for the future—addressing centralization, security, and the coming quantum era.
Proof of Work (Bitcoin)
The original consensus model. Secure and decentralized, but vulnerable to hardware centralization (ASICs) and future quantum threats.
Proof of Stake (Ethereum)
An evolution in energy efficiency. Secures the network through economic incentives, but presents different challenges in decentralization and security.

Post-Quantum PoW (QCoin)
A new paradigm for Proof of Work. Designed from the ground up to be secure against both classical and quantum computers, while promoting fair, decentralized mining.
Why a Post-Quantum PoW Matters
The quantum era threatens the very foundation of today's cryptocurrencies. QCoin isn't just an upgrade—it's a necessary re-architecture to ensure the principles of decentralized, trustless money can survive for centuries to come.
QCoin Roadmap
A strategic roadmap to build the world's first blockchain secured by post-quantum cryptography from genesis.
Phase I — Foundation & Community Launch
CompletedDeployment of QCoin as a Polygon-based token to fund development and build our foundational community. This token will provide holders a direct stake in the future mainnet.
Phase II — Protocol Design & Specification
CompletedFormal research and specification of the QCoin mainnet protocol. Finalizing the memory-hard, grind-resistant Proof of Work algorithm and post-quantum signature (Dilithium2) integration.
Phase III — Reference Implementation & Testnet
In ProgressDevelopment of the official reference client in a modern systems language. Launch of a public testnet to validate network stability, difficulty retargeting, and economic parameters.
Phase IV — Security Audits & Mainnet Preparation
Conducting comprehensive third-party security audits of the consensus protocol and client software. Finalizing the genesis block parameters and the snapshot/bridge mechanism for Polygon token holders.
Phase V — Mainnet Genesis
Launch of the QCoin mainnet. Migration of Polygon-based QCoin holders to native QCN coins, establishing the initial distribution. Mining begins, and the network becomes fully operational.
Phase VI — Ecosystem Growth & Decentralization
Fostering the development of a robust ecosystem including wallets, block explorers, and mining pools. Ongoing research into protocol improvements and long-term governance structures.
