About NaoX Protocol
NaoX Protocol is an EVM-compatible post-quantum Layer 1, formerly Naoris Protocol, with the token still trading as NAORIS. Quantum-resistant signatures sit in the transaction and consensus layer: each transaction carries both a classical ECDSA signature and a NIST-standardised ML-DSA-87 (Dilithium-5) signature, the former preserving wallet and gas compatibility while the latter carries actual authorisation,. Beneath the chain sits a trust mesh of routers, IoT devices and containers that validate each other, submitting health proofs and behavioural measurements under Proof of Security consensus, with misbehaving nodes slashed against their bond. The Sub-Zero layer checks integrity before signing, routing and execution and exports trust and risk metadata to bridges and DeFi contracts.
The product set spans Validator Shield, a smart contract firewall, DePIN hardware attestation and a cross-chain trust relay, sold to validators, rollup operators, custodians and DePIN networks. Unlike security vendors that audit before launch or monitor afterwards, it writes verification results into consensus, making proven trust a precondition for participation. Post-quantum signatures are far larger and costlier to verify than elliptic curve ones, so wallets, exchanges and light clients must adapt to heavier transaction payloads, and early integrations concentrate on its own mesh devices. The brand changed from Naoris Protocol to NaoX in July 2026.
Naoris Protocol completed a $3 million strategic financing round led by Mason Labs, securing capital to advance its decentralized security infrastructure.
The U.S. SEC designated Naoris Protocol as a reference model for the financial industry’s transition to post-quantum cryptography, establishing its long-term role in shaping security standards.
Key developments: In late September the project was featured in the Binance Alpha Spotlight program; after peaking at a yearly high of $0.1484 on May 6, the token slid to a low of $0.0276 on August 30, with market cap around $17M in mid-October.
Token structure: Of the 4B total supply only about 15% circulates; the top 10 addresses hold roughly 99% of supply — extreme concentration — and FDV sits near 6.7x market cap, implying significant dilution pressure.
On April 1, 2026 NaoX, formerly Naoris Protocol, launched its mainnet as the first EVM Layer 1 using NIST-standard ML-DSA-87 (FIPS 204) post-quantum signatures from genesis, initially open only to invited validators and strategic partners. The team reports more than 105 million post-quantum transactions processed, peak throughput of 70,000 TPS validated and 603 million threats blocked, and on September 10 published The NaoX Philosophy arguing that classical-cryptography chains cannot be retrofitted. Its testnet drew 3.35 million wallets and over one million security nodes.
NaoX Protocol's Future strategy and roadmap: The fourth quarter of 2026 phases in validator access and releases SDKs and documentation to turn a closed network into an open developer ecosystem; staking and governance are slated for 2027, with Naoris Ventures funding deployments in robotics, smart cities and energy.
