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 />

MUSICDIBS
Musicdibs is the leading platform for music protection and monetization using blockchain and DePIN technology , empowering artists with innovative and secure solutions. Musicdibs represents the new era of the music industry in Web3. Link to project's website: https://musicdibs.com/dibs/en/ Link website comercial: https://musicdibs.com/en/ Musicdibs is the global leading platform for music protection and monetization using blockchain technology. Specifically designed to empower artists, it offers a secure, accessible, and fast solution to register and protect their intellectual property rights. With over 100,000 active artists and a community exceeding 300,000 followers on social media, Musicdibs is revolutionizing the music industry. In a world where traditional registration methods are expensive and slow, Musicdibs leverages blockchain technology with a DePIN approach to ensure legal protection for works in more than 175 countries. Additionally, it allows artists to directly monetize their music, eliminating intermediaries and ensuring fair income distribution through royalty automation. DePIN Technology Musicdibs’ DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) approach focuses on decentralizing the management and protection of intellectual property through blockchain infrastructure and the DIBS token. By using this model, Musicdibs distributes key tasks such as registration, certification, and intellectual property verification, removing the need for reliance on centralized entities. DIBS Token The DIBS Token offers multiple benefits: it is used to securely and globally register and protect works on the blockchain, pay for licenses, and access exclusive features. With a fixed and low supply, and built on the Solana network, it ensures efficiency and low costs. Additionally, it is deflationary, which strengthens its long-term value while promoting the sustainability of the ecosystem. Musicdibs not only protects music but also opens new opportunities for fans to interact with their favorite artists and benefit from the ecosystem. This platform represents the future of the music industry in the Web3 era, offering creators innovation, cutting-edge technology, and full control. Join the music revolution with Musicdibs, where protecting and monetizing your art is easier, safer, and more global than ever. Web3 Acceleration Programs Musicdibs’ rapid growth has validated its candidacy for the most prestigious acceleration processes and funds in the Web3 ecosystem: Binance Labs, CMC Labs, Coinbase Venture, A16zCrypto, positioning us with strong prospects throughout the 2024-2025 period. This step reinforces our commitment to innovation and leadership in tech solutions for the creative industry.

Rivalz
Rivalz is redefining AI infrastructure by creating an AI Intel Layer to unlock new agentic economies. Built on a dual-chain DePIN architecture using Dymension and Arbitrum, Rivalz addresses one of the biggest bottlenecks in AI today: access to AI-ready, verifiable, and secure data. As we envision the web3 space to become agentic and overtake humans in the amount of transactions over time, what Rivalz is building is key for enabling this future. The core challenge that Rivalz is addressing is the need for AI-ready, verifiable and accessible data and later on intelligence. Rivalz offers a hybrid solution combining decentralized storage and high-speed agent-centric connectivity networks that cater specifically to AI's demands, ushering in the era of the agentic economy.

REPU
The REPU system (abbreviated from English – "reputation") is a revolutionary project that allows you to completely rethink the way social networks are perceived. REPU is a rating and feedback system based on decentralized blockchain technology. Technology allows you to completely replace the system of “likes” with the rating - both for users and for companies. The rating, subsequently, can be used as an assessment tool in various areas of the individual’s life - starting with professional skills, financial stability, and ending with all possible aspects of behavior and interaction with the public.

Plentix
The advent of cryptocurrencies and the tokenized economy makes it possible to re-imagine the entire value chain of consumer, products, and producers from a referral perspective. We present Plentix, a tokenized platform that enables users to refer other users to a business entity and enables business entities to leverage existing APIs for industry specific referrals and allows for safe, secure, trustless value exchange to take place. Unlike other referral platforms, Plentix unleashes the potential of a new global ecosystem to monetize referrals for every stakeholder, from the producer to the consumer.
