- The protocol allows for quantum-safe signatures to be generated by integrating smoothly with Ethereum-compatible wallets like as MetaMask and Trust Wallet.
- QANplatform is a blockchain platform that offers Web3 development a time to market that is unmatched by any other comparable platform.
- By passing the Security Audit, the protocol has shown that it is capable of providing protection against the imminent danger posed by quantum computing assaults on blockchain networks.
Earlier today, QANplatform, the blockchain platform that provides quantum-resistant security for Web3 development, made an announcement that its QAN XLINK, a cross-signer protocol that enables the integration of Ethereum-compatible wallets with quantum-safe signature-capable keypairs, has successfully completed a comprehensive cybersecurity audit conducted by Hacken, a blockchain security firm. By doing so, the protocol has shown that it is capable of providing protection against the imminent danger posed by quantum computing assaults on blockchain networks.
Existing blockchains are placed in a precarious position by the mounting danger posed by quantum computers. It is possible for future quantum computers to steal crypto if even a single transaction from a wallet reveals its public key. This situation leaves the cryptocurrency susceptible to theft. Furthermore, once their public keys are exposed, all blockchain addresses, including those for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and other cryptocurrencies, are vulnerable to quantum attacks. According to recent estimates, approximately 6.65 million Bitcoin addresses, which accounts for approximately 25 percent of the total Bitcoin supply, and over 65 percent of all Ether addresses have exposed public keys.
In order to overcome this issue, QANplatform has developed a protocol known as QAN XLINK. This protocol allows for quantum-safe signatures to be generated by integrating smoothly with Ethereum-compatible wallets like as MetaMask and Trust Wallet. By using the primary-recommended lattice-based Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithm (ML-DSA, FIPS 204) developed by the NIST, QAN XLINK offers a migration route that is assured to be 100% secure for the post-quantum era, maintaining security even after “Q-Day.” The QANplatform blockchain is the only one that offers interoperability with Ethereum as well as a migration that is guaranteed to be secure against quantum computing.
Many prominent institutions, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Federal Reserve, and BlackRock, have issued warnings about the coming vulnerability that is posed by quantum computers. This indicates that the danger posed by quantum computers is imminent. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has recently released its post-quantum cryptography standard, and BlackRock has recently amended its Bitcoin ETF prospectus to reflect the rising quantum danger. Both QAN XLINK and Hacken’s audit arrive at an opportune moment.
“Following the success of our QVM, we’re forging the path to bring post-quantum security to the broader Web3 ecosystem,” said Johann Polecsak, Co-Founder and CTO of QANplatform. “Hacken’s thorough audit of QAN XLINK bolsters confidence in our ability to deliver forward-looking security, while also building the world’s first Ethereum-compatible, quantum-safe hybrid blockchain.”
Yevheniia Broshevan, Co-founder & CEO of Hacken, added, “the quantum threat is no longer a distant concern, it demands proactive preparation for the whole web3 ecosystem. Developing a quantum-safe protocol and performing rigorous audits of the code behind the protocol, QANplatform and Hacken are both pioneers and advocates for a quantum-safe Web3 ecosystem.”

QANplatform is a blockchain platform that offers Web3 development a time to market that is unmatched by any other comparable platform. The company provides quantum-safe security to startups, small and medium-sized organizations (SMEs), corporations, and huge government infrastructure projects. Introducing QAN’s flagship offering, a groundbreaking hybrid blockchain platform that is protected from quantum computing and has smart contract capability. The company is the pioneer in the introduction of technology that enables developers to build use cases on the blockchain using any programming language using the blockchain. Additionally, QANplatform is a member of the Linux Foundation and was one of the original 20 members of the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance (PQCA) that was established by the Linux Foundation. The quantum-resistant technology developed by QAN was adopted in the first EU nation in the year 2024. Since the month of October in the year 2025, QANplatform has been a member of Blockchain for Europe, which is a prominent organization that promotes the use of blockchain technology across the European Union.
