Our Roadmap
A clear vision of a resilient Post Quantum store of value and communication layer is only as good as the plan and perseverance it's backed up by.

Looking at what we've built
Our Current Features
A visionary blockchain with digital asset security as a core value
After being built from the ground up with post-quantum security at its foundation, the QRL went through two years of testing and multiple external audits before the release of mainnet.
Crypto-agility with an extensible address format
The introduction and solidification of variable key heights and signature space allows QRL to ensure future compatibility with almost anything. Our blockchain includes the possibility to upgrade signature schemes (XMSS, SPHINCS, Falcon, + future) and through an address format update, support different cryptographic hash functions (SHA2_256, SHAKE_128, SHAKE256 etc).
Full multi-platform wallet support
Weighted threshold multisignature transactions
Advanced multisignature addresses & transactions allowing for a wide range of custodial scenarios for secure asset management.
Ephemeral messaging system (EMS)
File notarisation
Fraud prevention through the use of quantum secure notarisation easy accessible through a clean user interface.
Documentation, API's and Tooling
Fully documented with API’s and tooling to get started building, deploying, and maintaining digital assets.
The Next Generation
Project Zond
The next evolution of post-quantum secure distributed ledger technology
Stay up to date on our blogDisclaimer: The sections here are very simplified estimates of progress on a very complex system, and as such are subject to change.
Key Features, at a glance
Proof-of-Stake
QRL Zond transitions QRL from proof-of-work (PoW) to a more energy-efficient and scalable proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm. This change aligns with the growing industry trend toward sustainability while maintaining QRL's hallmark commitment to quantum resistance.
Smart Contracts
The introduction of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility and Web3.js support is another transformative addition. These features allow developers to deploy and interact with smart contracts written in Solidity, leveraging the expansive Ethereum ecosystem. This compatibility ensures that developers familiar with Ethereum tools can seamlessly build and deploy decentralized applications (dApps) on the Zond network, tapping into QRL's unique post-quantum security guarantees.
Beta-Testnet (Release Announcement)
Post-Quantum Cryptography Integration
Review the PQC landscape and integrate Dilithium.
New Address Format
Implement and fully integrate the updated address structure across the system.
Consensus Optimization
Fine-tune consensus protocol parameters to ensure optimal system stability and performance.
System Cleanup & Refinement
Update OPCode logic, enhance ZVM ecosystem tooling, and refactor the codebase for improved maintainability.
Enhanced Development Tooling and Vortex IDE Support
Provide supplementary tools and extended support for the Vortex IDE (Remix IDE) to streamline the development process.
Testnet V1 (In Progress)
Involves final XMSS/Dilithium integration and the configuration of network parameter values
Network Performance Optimization
Refine and adjust network parameter values to ensure the system operates smoothly and efficiently. This involves analyzing current configurations, identifying potential bottlenecks, and implementing optimal settings that support reliable and high-performance network interactions.
Further Post-Quantum Cryptography Integration
Fully integrate the eXtended Merkle Signature Scheme (XMSS) and Dilithium with ML-DSA to bolster the system's resilience against quantum computing threats.
Testnet V2
Involves a feature freeze and code audit
Comprehensive Security Audit & Review
A thorough audit of the project's code, with a focus on cryptography and security, to identify areas for improvement and ensure the overall quality of the codebase.
