Naoris Protocol launches quantum-resistant blockchain mainnet with post-quantum security

Naoris Protocol has officially launched its quantum-resistant blockchain mainnet, aiming to protect crypto from long-term quantum computing risks and the “Q-Day” scenario. The network uses post-quantum cryptography to secure account ownership and transaction approvals. The article highlights that major chains like Bitcoin and Ethereum still rely on legacy encryption. It also cites Google’s warning that a quantum system with ~500,000 qubits could threaten Bitcoin’s cryptographic assumptions, and because blockchain transactions are irreversible, future decryption risk could expose user assets. On mainnet, the quantum-resistant blockchain mainnet adds an “irreversible transition” rule: once users adopt post-quantum keys, only quantum-resistant signatures are accepted, while attempts to use legacy methods are automatically rejected. Naoris says it already validated 100M+ post-quantum transactions, after testnet activity including 603M+ threats blocked and 106M+ transactions processed. For traders, this is a reinforcement of quantum-resistance narratives rather than a BTC/ETH protocol upgrade. Expect mostly sentiment and sector positioning effects, not an immediate change to BTC or ETH fundamentals.
