QANplatform Announcements 📣

September Milestones: XLINK Goes On-Chain and Deterministic QVM Metering Takes Shape September was a month of deep engineering for QANplatform. Our team turned their attention to the work that will define the production network: moving XLINK signature management on-chain, building a caching layer to speed up QVM executions, advancing our deterministic gas-metering research toward a real pricing model, and hardening the network against the subtle edge cases that only appear under sustained load. This month also brought a major strategic milestone: with the execution-layer rebase complete, our audited quantum-safe stack is ready for the final security-audit phase.

[Audit status update] Based on all received feedback, we have finalized the decision on the consensus layer integration for the mainnet stack. After careful consideration, we selected Lighthouse by Sigma Prime. As discussed previously, Lighthouse is the most widely used consensus client and is considered semi-official due to its broad adoption among node operators. This choice best meets the technical and policy requirements of our strategic partners. What happens next: Step 1: We are currently preparing the official Go-Ethereum based execution client to be compatible with the modified Lighthouse consensus client. Step 2: Once these modifications are ready, we will submit the execution client to the auditors, expected by end of next week. Step 3: Once the required Lighthouse modifications are completed, we will also submit the consensus client to the auditor. Just to clarify, the above steps do not alter the mainnet launch timeline, as these processes are fully parallel.

Europol mentions QANplatform in its recently published report, “Quantum Computing and Cryptocurrencies,” as a proven example of quantum-safe blockchain technology. QAN XLINK, a cross-signer protocol that utilizes NIST’s primary-recommended post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithm and enables the integration of Ethereum-compatible wallets with quantum-safe, signature-capable key pairs, successfully completed a comprehensive cybersecurity audit by blockchain security firm Hacken in November 2025. The solution is already deployed on the QAN TestNet.

[Audit status update] We know many of you are eagerly waiting for the final audit phase to begin, and we want to keep you posted. All the crucial and most challenging parts of the system have been successfully ported to Go-ethereum, the official Ethereum execution-layer client. This part is ready for auditing. Where we are now: To meet our strategic customers' requirements, we rebased our solution on top of the official Ethereum implementation and replaced all Ethereum-related components with their official counterparts. One part of the stack - the consensus layer - does not have an official Ethereum implementation. This means our customers need to align on which consensus client they are willing to accept before we submit this final component in the last audit phase. The two options are: A) Caplin by Erigon, a Golang-based consensus implementation we currently use already deployed and tested on our testnet. 😎 Lighthouse by Sigma Prime, the most widely used Rust-based consensus client, which could be considered semi-official due to its broad usage among node operators. We are working on a joint decision which is technically sound and policy-wise acceptable for all parties involved. What happens next: We expect a final decision next week, so we can move forward. Once the decision is made we will update you again.

August Milestones: Operational Resilience, Ecosystem Validation, & XLINK Sync   August was a decisive month for QANplatform as we moved from the structural migration phase into deep validation and operational tuning. Following the successful migration of the QAN TestNet to the official Ethereum execution client in July, our primary focus this month was finalizing the ecosystem for the next phase of our rollout.   While the migration itself proved successful, the transition to the official Ethereum client exposed subtle differences in how standard Ethereum components interact with QAN’s unique, computationally heavier QVM smart contracts. This month, we successfully identified and resolved a complex transaction pending issue, achieved full validation of our SDK ecosystem, and initiated the highly anticipated native XLINK signature synchronization protocol.

[NOTICE] Termination of QANX Trading on BingX Trading of the QANX token on BingX will be terminated this week. This decision follows new requirements that are not aligned with the current strategic focus and state of the project. Moving forward, we are concentrating our efforts on partnering with exchanges that have a wide regional presence while ensuring compliance with all local regulatory requirements to facilitate a seamless MainNet launch. If you hold QANX tokens on BingX, please take the following actions: - Cancel Open Orders: Please cancel any active orders immediately. If no action is taken, the system will automatically cancel them. - Withdrawal Deadline: You must withdraw your tokens by 2026-11-13 16:00:00 (UTC).

July Milestone: Successful completion of the TestNet migration to the official Ethereum execution client Our primary objective this month was clear: migrate the QAN TestNet to the official industry-standard Ethereum execution client while remaining compatible with our previous implementation without compromising our unique quantum-secure features. The engineering team has not only completed the migration to the official Ethereum client but has also proven that QANplatform can operate seamlessly on a standard Ethereum infrastructure while retaining the full power of the QAN Virtual Machine (QVM) and QAN XLINK.

June Milestone: Executing the Ethereum Rebase Following our strategic shift, June was all about deep engineering execution. We've successfully ported QVM core logic, overhauled our networking layer, and resolved critical runtime issues. ✅ Core rebase is now 70% complete. The final 30% focuses on ecosystem sync and rigorous testing. We’re one step closer to the world’s first quantum-secure network built natively on Ethereum, giving developers the freedom to build in any programming language.

QANplatform May Update: Accelerating Our Ethereum Rebase and Enterprise Readiness May was a month of decisive action for QANplatform. Following our announcement of a controlled architectural rebase of QANplatform’s core features onto Ethereum’s official implementation we moved immediately from strategic planning to implementation. With architectural risks mitigated and technical briefs finalized, we are now fully cleared to begin active construction on our next-generation implementation. Behind the strategic shift lies significant engineering progress. This month, our team resolved complex architectural challenges to ensure a rock-solid runtime and a mature developer ecosystem.
