When the world is hit by a storm, a safe haven makes all the difference. 🌊 Quantum-resistant since 2018, $QRL was built for the future we're moving toward. A quantum-safe haven for your digital money. #PostQuantum #QRL

Now imagine this, but with qday, where legitimate transactions are indistinguishable from fake ones.

Enigma was unbreakable. Until a machine broke it. Bitcoin has a machine coming for it too.

The bunker was built in 2018. Hash-based from genesis, just like the doctor ordered. Meet the quantum-safe vault.

At this rate, Bitcoin will be first before $QRL even. Production XMSS since 2018, ML-DSA in QRL 2.0 with smart contracts. Yes, crypto-agility included. Yes, extensive audits by the likes of @HalbornSecurity and @trailofbits.

Are you a Solidity developer? Your next project could be built for the post-quantum era. QRL 2.0 is EVM-compatible, so you can start building with familiar Solidity tooling today. @QRLedger Explore the Testnet Getting Started guide:

Already running nodes in crypto? QRL 2.0 is moving to Proof-of-Stake, with 40,000 QRL required to run a validator. For those looking to position for a node ahead of mainnet, QRL is also available OTC through DV Chain for larger transactions. Show your interest: dvchain.co/ContactUs Prepare today. Run tomorrow. $QRL @QRLedger @DV_Chain #Crypto #Validator #QuantumSafe

QRL announces @trailofbits has published its independent security assessment of go-qrllib, the cryptographic heart of QRL 2.0. 15 findings identified (1 High, 4 Low, 10 Informational). All resolved. theqrl.org/press/qrl-announc…

Always have seen pq-crypto as part of the equation. Web apps aren't secure because of using the latest TLS with the recommended cipher suites, but they'd be considered insecure without TLS. It's mandatory to have pq-crypto at this point, but it doesn't forgo everything else. In that sense, QRL is on the right track (biased of course), ie. - ✅ Strong PQ-Crypto (and not rolling their own, but using vetted crypto). - ✅ Propensity to spend towards auditors that are the most likely to break things. - ✅ Very long testnet periods with actual testing with the intent to break. Only as strong as your weakest link and all that right?

I wonder when we'll begin to see the impact of the ECDSA.fail challenge. I expect we'll see new records soon. $QRL
We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5. We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon. We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.

At least 1,200 people died of heatstroke in France last Wednesday, mostly elderly people indoors. Even crazier, about 70,000 Europeans die from the same every year, akin to a bi-weekly 9/11. Eurobros, please vote for leaders who will let you open your windows and install A/C!

Eight years ago, QRL mainnet launched with a conviction that felt early at the time: quantum resistance belongs at the foundation, not on the roadmap someday. Since then, QRL has kept doing what secure infrastructure should do: operate, endure, and prove itself over time. Now, as post-quantum standards mature and quantum timelines compress, the industry is catching up to a risk QRL was built around from genesis. QRL's anniversary is both a milestone and a signal of where quantum-safe infrastructure is headed next. Read more: theqrl.org/blog/celebrating-…

Being a whale doesn't give an okay to behaviour that's against the Code-of-Conduct, though years ago we did afford a lot of flexibility in that area - if you were a whale. That was wrong. Questions aren't the issue though. As an example, you're critical of the project but never have been banned. For other things. Financials are handled in accordance of Stiftung regulations. We have a testnet, that you can run, today, for QRL 2.0, that people have built on. There's funding to continue development, and pay for qualified auditors. POS mainnet ultimately needed something outside of XMSS, ie. Dilithium, which finally went through a multiyear review from NIST until it came out as ML-DSA in ~2024 with plenty of improvements and 'fixes'.

Being post-quantum secure has always been our corner stone. We had a proof-of-stake testnet in 2017 but moved to proof-of-work to achieve that primary objective while more research was necessary for POS. The POS network is currently under audit. We don't put out dates, but it can be tracked at theqrl.org/roadmap Anyone banned is not because of questions, but because of threats or other similar behaviour. You're free to come into our community and ask as many questions as you want. Anyone is free to. The QRL Foundation operates as a Stiftung and its funding is regulated as such (# CHE-229.731.700)
