Quantum Resistant Ledger

About Quantum Resistant Ledger

Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) is a blockchain platform and cryptocurrency designed to withstand attacks from both classical and quantum computers. Founded by Peter Waterland, QRL addresses a critical vulnerability in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, whose signature schemes could be broken by sufficiently powerful quantum computers. It achieves post-quantum security through XMSS, a hash-based cryptographic signature scheme specifically built for this purpose. QRL positions itself as a future-proof blockchain, offering secure transactions and decentralized communication in anticipation of advances in quantum computing technology over the coming decades.
