(MorningStar) 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. has been commissioned to develop the World’s First Quantum-Safe Blockchain designed for Tokens, NFTs, Smart Contracts for the Metaverse, De-centralized Finance (DeFi). Inside Quantum Technology News shares the announcement.
After an extensive global search, a consortium of highly successful crypto experts selected 01 Communique as their technology partner and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) provider. The consortium (Talent Summit) is pursuing the new blockchain aggressively and is planning a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) within three months. The PoC of this new venture is the first step towards protecting the de-centralized eco-system.
It is expected that this best-in-class quantum-safe blockchain will be resilient against cyber adversaries, including quantum attacks. Blockchain technology is vulnerable to cyber-attacks, including quantum threats. A recent crypto hack reported a loss of over $300 million due to hackers forging a wrong signature to fake a transaction. These hacks have now become commonplace, and it is anticipated that the introduction of quantum computing will increase them dramatically.
“01 has taken a minority position in Talent Summit and in addition will be compensated for the development project by way of a payment of $250,000 cash plus a 10% royalty for the ongoing share of the ‘Tokens’ per transaction,” said Andrew Cheung, the President and CEO of 01 Communique.
01 will protect the integrity of this state-of-the-art blockchain by using its patent-protected, quantum-safe, IronCAP™ technology. In addition to being quantum-safe and supporting smart contracts, this new blockchain is aiming at high-performance with the ability to process tens of thousands of transactions/second (TPS).
“This revolutionary blockchain is essentially a transformation of the proven Solana blockchain into a quantum-safe version to be incorporated in Tokens, NFTs, Smart Contracts for Metaverse, DeFi, and more,” said Andrew Cheung.
