The concept of a peer-to-peer internet ledger of value, recorded as a blockchain and secured by proof of work was rst reported in 2008. Bitcoin remains the most widely used cryptocurrency to date. Hundreds of similar cryptocurrency ledgers have been subsequently created but with few exceptions they rely on the same elliptic curve public-key cryptography (ECDSA) to generate digital signatures which allow transactions to be varied securely. The most commonly used signature schemes today such as ECDSA, DSA and RSA are theoretically vulnerable to quantum computing attack. It would be valuable to explore the design and construction of a quantum resistant blockchain ledger to counter the potential advent of a sudden non-linear quantum computing advance.

November 2016
White paper release. After discussion with developers, post-quantum cryptographers and research into existing roadmap of blockchain technology, the whitepaper was written to provide an overview of quantum resistant methodologies. The Winternitz OTS+ and Extended Merkle Signature Scheme (XMSS) were identified as the optimal solutions. This investigation also revealed the necessity of QRL to stand alone as a network with interoperability in the later pipeline.<br />
December 2016
Design of a proof-of-stake algorithm (POS) commenced
January 2017
Prototype node development with basic POS algorithm and integration of XMSS signatures
February 2017
Prototype node development with basic POS algorithm and integration of XMSS signatures
April 2017
Launch of the Alpha testnet with nodes running on MacOS, Linux, Windows on hardware including Raspberry Pi. Private seed presale round opens.
August 2017
Node optimization with C++. Inter-node encrypted communication (‘new hope’ lattice-based cryptography)
December 2017
Not willing to compromise a launch with an immature PoS protocol given how much value the project currently carries — and more importantly how much value it will hold in the future, QRL announces a move to temporary Proof of Work model.<br />
January 2018
Proof of Work public testnet is released to the public
February 2018
The introduction and solidification of variable key heights and signature space allows us to ensure future compatibility with almost anything. Our blockchain now includes the possibility to upgrade signature schemes (XMSS, SPHINCS, + future) and through an address format update, support different cryptographic hash functions (SHA2_256, SHAKE_128, SHAKE256 etc).<br />
March 2018
Our internal code review also compliments the more general internal security review we are currently in the process of conducting.<br />
March 2018
Audit Completed by red4sec with x41 doing a secondary audit for further scrutiny.<br />

Zortrax
Join the world's first ICO from a global 3D printers manufacturer. Be part of a groundbreaking opportunity to participate directly into the rapidly growing 3D printing industry. Zortrax, a producer of 3D printers and post-processing devices, introduces ZRXT tokens - bridging the crypto world with real-world technology. Zortrax Token (ZRXT) is a utility token that connects the innovative 3D printing ecosystem of Zortrax with the decentralized economy. It provides both investors and customers with real, on-chain benefits — from profit exposure via buybacks to valuable product discounts. Problem/Solution: Traditional equity and reward systems limit flexibility and exclude global retail participants. Zortrax Token introduces a hybrid model: token-based buybacks as a form of profit sharing, and utility-based discounts to reward brand loyalty and long-term engagement. Features: Profit Sharing via Buybacks: Zortrax uses a portion of its quarterly operational profits to buy back Zortrax Tokens from Uniswap v4, directly supporting token demand and price. Product Discounts Through Token Utility: - Lock-to-Discount: Users can lock Zortrax Tokens in a smart contract to receive up to 40% discount on eligible products. The amount and duration of the lock determine the discount tier. - One-Time Vouchers: Users can purchase discount vouchers (up to 40%) using tokens, without locking. This enables immediate utility and flexibility. DEX Liquidity: Tokens are freely tradable on Uniswap v4, allowing decentralized global access and real-time market pricing.
