About QoreChain
QoreChain is a Layer 1 built on the Cosmos SDK whose mainnet went live on 7 June 2026 under the chain ID qorechain-vladi and EVM chain ID 9801. Its difference is putting post-quantum cryptography at genesis rather than retrofitting it: ML-DSA-87 (Dilithium-5) for signatures, ML-KEM-1024 for key encapsulation and SHAKE-256 for application hashing, matching NIST's FIPS 204 and FIPS 203.
Enforcement sits at transaction admission. Every transaction on the Cosmos path must carry both a Dilithium-5 signature and a secp256k1 signature, and classical-only transactions are rejected, closing the downgrade route. The EVM path keeps standard Ethereum signatures, but an account must first register an ML-DSA-87 key and hold an authorisation window opened by a post-quantum-signed message on the Cosmos path, so a classical key alone cannot move funds there. Consensus and cross-chain messaging reuse Cosmos SDK v0.53 components, and the EVM, CosmWasm and SVM runtimes share one state, with cross-VM calls designed to execute atomically inside a single transaction. In July 2026 the mainnet settled a 1,000 QOR transfer whose signature, key encapsulation and hashing were protected end to end by the post-quantum suite, with the hash published for verification, and a contract-generation tool covers 38 chains.
QoreChain, a Swiss-based Layer 1 blockchain, has progressed through a structured roadmap. From 2017 to 2022, it laid the foundation by developing digital asset security infrastructure and core blockchain protocol architecture. In 2023–2024, it pivoted to quantum-resistant and AI-native technologies, integrating NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptography (ML-DSA-87, ML-KEM-1024, SHAKE-256) and developing the PRISM consensus engine alongside a triple virtual machine (EVM, CosmWasm, SVM) environment. In 2025, the testnet (chain ID: qorechain-diana) launched, along with tools like the QCAI smart contract creator and auditor, and cross-chain bridge architecture. A key milestone occurred on June 7, 2026, when mainnet went live, followed by a technical TGE, validator staking, and block rewards. Shortly after, on July 2, 2026, QoreChain completed what it describes as the first blockchain transaction secured end-to-end using all three NIST post-quantum algorithms on a public mainnet. These events mark significant long-term steps toward quantum-safe, AI-native, and interoperable blockchain infrastructure.
Major progress: Mainnet launched on June 7; on July 2 the network processed the first end-to-end transaction secured by the full NIST post-quantum stack (ML-DSA-87, ML-KEM-1024, SHAKE-256). QOR/USDT began trading on MEXC on August 20 at 13:00 UTC with withdrawals opening August 21, preceded by a 3M QOR Kickstarter airdrop.
Token unlocks: Token distribution uses on-chain vesting with a 12-month team cliff and a fixed total supply.
QoreChain's mainnet went live on June 7, 2026 under chain ID qorechain-vladi with EVM chain ID 9801. Between July 2 and 4 the team published a 1,000 QOR transfer it described as the first transaction on a live public network protected end to end by ML-DSA-87, ML-KEM-1024 and SHAKE-256.
On October 20 QoreChain governance proposal 13 carried, moving the mainnet to v3.2.4. Cosmos-path transactions now require a Dilithium-5 signature by default, and an account holding only a classical key can no longer move funds on the EVM lane. The PRISM AI layer remains in observation mode, recording observations and rewards every ten blocks with no trained policy loaded.
QoreChain's Future strategy and roadmap: the plan is to enable the CosmWasm and SVM lanes, cross-VM messaging and the designed 38-route bridge topology step by step, while keeping QOR's classification as a Swiss utility token.
Co-founder and CTO of QoreChain: Liviu Ionut Epure. Based in Brăila, Romania, he has over 24 years of experience in technology and management. He previously founded several tech companies including DOLIMAGE, focusing on post-quantum cryptography (PQC), AI, and blockchain architecture. QoreChain development started in 2017; he led its pivot from a digital asset security platform to a post-quantum, AI-native Layer 1, overseeing technical strategy and core development such as the SDK.
