A blockchain built for the post-quantum era
Every layer of QAN (consensus, contracts, and bridging) is designed around cryptography that holds up once quantum computers become a practical threat to today’s chains.
Quantum Resistant
Built on post-quantum cryptographic algorithms designed to withstand attacks from both classical and quantum computers.
Cross-Chain Bridging
Quantum-resistant bridging with intelligent route aggregation to move assets across ecosystems without compromising security.
Quantum Shield
Continuously finds the fastest, cheapest transfer routes while protecting every hop with quantum-safe encryption.
Fraud Detection
On-chain heuristics and advanced computing work together to detect and prevent fraudulent activity in real time.
Future-Proofing
As quantum computing advances, QAN's cryptographic core evolves alongside it, keeping assets secure for the long run.

A team built for cryptography, security, and scale
The team behind QAN brings together blockchain engineers, cybersecurity researchers, and quantum-computing specialists, with prior experience across DeFi, security auditing, and XR development. That mix is what shaped QAN’s core bet: build the cryptography first, then the chain around it.
QAN’s post-quantum research and Proof-of-Quantum consensus have been reviewed by independent auditors, and the network is built in the open alongside the ecosystem teams shipping on top of it.

Frequently asked questions
What is a quantum-resistant blockchain?
A quantum-resistant, or post-quantum, blockchain uses cryptographic algorithms specifically designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers, not just today's classical hardware. QAN builds this in at the protocol level, from genesis.
Is QAN EVM compatible?
Yes. QAN combines EVM-compatible smart contracts with quantum-safe code, so existing Solidity tooling and wallets work while the underlying cryptography stays post-quantum secure.
Is QAN a Layer 1 or Layer 2?
QAN is a Layer 1 blockchain with its own consensus, validators, and genesis block; it isn't built on top of another chain.
Can quantum-resistant nodes be added to an existing chain?
No. Quantum resistance has to be built in from the genesis block. Retrofitting an existing chain would require a hard fork rather than a simple upgrade.
How do I connect to the QAN network?
Use Chainlist to add QAN's RPC endpoints to your wallet in a few clicks. See the banner at the top of this page.
