Welcome to Quranium
Quranium is the future of digital security - Quantum-proof, Layer 1 DLT for the next generation.
Welcome to the comprehensive documentation of Quranium Chain, an innovative Quantum secure dual-layer blockchain architecture that combines the security of Proof of Work (PoW) with the scalability of Proof of Stake (PoS) with Quantum Secure Sphinics+ Signatures at core level.
Quranium is the first blockchain who makes blockchain quantum secure at core level.
This documentation provides detailed insights into the technical architecture, implementation guidelines, and future development roadmap.
Core Components
Core Layer (PoW): Handles primary security and consensus
Crust Layer (PoS): Manages scalability and high-throughput transactions
Cross-Layer Protocol: Ensures seamless communication between layers
Key Features
Hybrid Consensus: Combines PoW security with PoS scalability with DLT
Smart Contracts: Supports Solidity-compatible smart contracts on Crust Layer
Cross-Layer Transactions: Seamless interaction between PoW and PoS layers
Quantum Security: Utilizes SPHINCS+ for quantum-resistant digital signatures for Quantum Security
Quantum Security
Quranium Chain implements cutting-edge post-quantum cryptography using SPHINCS+ signature schemes, making it resistant to potential quantum computer attacks.
SPHINCS+ Implementation
Stateless Hash-Based Signatures: Utilizes SPHINCS+ for quantum-resistant digital signatures
Parameter Sets: Implements SPHINCS+-256f for optimal balance between security and performance
Key Generation: Secure key generation process with quantum entropy sources
Quantum Security Features
Post-Quantum Resistance: Protected against both classical and quantum computer attacks
Forward Security: Maintains integrity even if quantum computers become available
Compatibility: Seamless integration with existing blockchain operations
The implementation of SPHINCS+ makes Quranium Chain one of the first blockchain platforms to achieve quantum security, future-proofing the network against emerging quantum threats. With NIST Approval and Migration to SLHDSA, Quranium becomes battle tested Quantum Secure blockchain.
Possible Migration Overview
Gradual Transition: A phased approach to ensure network stability during the upgrade
Backward Compatibility: Support for both SPHINCS+ and SLHDSA during the transition period
Enhanced Performance: SLHDSA offers improved signature generation and verification times
SLHDSA migration timeline and implementation details. The migration process will be carefully coordinated with the community to ensure minimal disruption to network operations.
Technical Considerations for future possible migration
The migration to SLHDSA will introduce several improvements:
Reduced Signature Size: Approximately 50% or higher smaller than SPHINCS+
Faster Verification: Up to 2x or higher improvement in verification speed
Enhanced Security Margins: Improved resistance against quantum attacks
All node operators will need to upgrade their software to support SLHDSA before the final migration deadline. Detailed upgrade instructions will be provided in future documentation updates.
