The blockchain built for the quantum era

Accounts and validators secured by NIST-standard post-quantum signatures, with order books, liquidity pools and perpetuals built into the protocol itself.

Post-quantum from the ground up

A quantum computer running Shor's algorithm could forge the elliptic-curve signatures that secure Bitcoin and Ethereum. QRDX signs with ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204), which no known quantum algorithm breaks.

Validators sign post-quantum

Every block and attestation is signed with ML-DSA-65. Classic keys cannot validate. Proof of stake with 2-second slots and epoch finality.

Post-quantum accounts

Every account has a 0xPQ… address signed with ML-DSA-65. One recovery phrase restores it alongside the classic key.

Still speaks Ethereum

Post-quantum accounts map to ordinary 20-byte account ids, so contracts, MetaMask and Ethereum tools keep working, and native tokens are ERC-20s in the EVM.

What post-quantum protects, and what it does not

An exchange in the protocol

Trading is part of the chain's state transition, not a contract on top of it. Validators execute every order, swap and liquidation, and every node agrees on the result.

Spot: books and pools together

Every pair has an order book and concentrated-liquidity pools. A swap settles on whichever venue pays the most. Native QRDX trades directly, with no wrapping.

Perpetuals, zero-sum

Matched on an on-chain book, margined at a mark price, priced by a validator-voted oracle, with funding, liquidations and a backstop vault. Profits are paid by losses; nothing is minted.

Tokens without contracts

A token is a registry entry and balances in consensus. Create one and open its market in the same block. Extensions, NFTs and ERC-20/721 views included.
