Naoris launches post-quantum blockchain as quantum security risks gain attention

Naoris Protocol said it has launched its mainnet, introducing a layer-1 blockchain that uses post-quantum cryptography for transaction validation and network security.

Naoris Protocol has launched its mainnet, introducing a layer-1 blockchain designed to use post-quantum cryptography for transaction validation and network security. The network is live with limited, invite-only participation, allowing early users to run validator nodes and process transactions.

According to an announcement shared with Cointelegraph, it integrates cryptographic standards finalized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to address risks in existing blockchains, where current encryption methods could become vulnerable over time.

Before mainnet, the protocol’s test network processed more than 100 million transactions and flagged what it described as hundreds of millions of potential security events.
