QoreChain Launches First Post-Quantum Blockchain Transfer, QORE Token Trading Begins August 20
August 20, 2026
QoreChain announces that it produced the first end-to-end blockchain transfer secured with a full NIST-standardized post-quantum stack, including ML-DSA-87, ML-KEM-1024, and SHAKE-256, verified by independent libraries and visible on explore.qore.network via transaction hash 4E49D57F86FEC8851CDC34811B4C80FDB24F4C253ABE15D25C05B7A27F2B7F1F.
The platform’s architecture enables three execution environments—EVM, CosmWasm, and SVM—to write to the same ledger in a single block, enabling atomic cross-environment operations without bridges and with reproducible benchmark methodology forthcoming.
On-chain post-quantum verification uses precompiles (addresses 0x0A01 and 0x0A02) and maintains a co-signature for tooling compatibility, while classical signatures remain in use as post-quantum components are gradually rolled out.
Audits are in progress for the ML-DSA-87, ML-KEM-1024, and SHAKE-256 implementations; the codebase is open source and security findings will be credited to auditors, emphasizing transparency.
QoreChain presents itself as a credibility-first project that ships a verifiable stack before seeking market funding, offering an Apache-2.0 codebase, public testnet/mainnet, SDKs, and wallets ahead of any listing, with on-chain vesting and a 12-month team cliff for token distribution.
The project asserts that post-quantum security is a property of consensus, not just signatures, demonstrated by deleting a valid ML-DSA-87 signature causing the transaction to fail validation and not propagate.
The QORE token begins trading on MEXC on August 20, 2026, at 13:00 UTC in the QOR/USDT pair, with withdrawals opening on August 21, also at 13:00 UTC, following a 3,000,000 QOR Kickstarter airdrop.
QoreChain reiterates a multi-environment architecture on a single state and consensus layer without internal bridges, aiming for deterministic one-block finality and a target throughput of 5,000+ TPS while performing ML-DSA-87 verification on every native transaction.
The rollout is staged rather than a flag-day migration to minimize user disruption, with a long migration window and an enforcement mode planned to progressively require post-quantum signatures across the network within 2026.
QoreChain is a Swiss-registered quantum-safe, AI-native Layer 1 blockchain with an Apache-2.0 public codebase and partnerships in PKI and Crypto Valley associations, accompanied by standard risk disclaimers and contact details.
