Naoris Launches Post-Quantum Blockchain as Quantum Risks Grow
Summary
Naoris Protocol has officially launched its mainnet, introducing a layer-1 blockchain that integrates NIST-finalized cryptographic standards to defend against potential quantum computing vulnerabilities. The network utilizes a distributed proof of security (dPoSec) consensus model and is currently operating with invite-only validator participation. This launch arrives amid growing concerns that quantum computers could break current blockchain encryption much sooner than previously estimated, with recent research suggesting that significantly fewer qubits may be required to compromise existing systems.
