Explore QDay: The World's First Quantum-Resistant EVM-Compatible Layer 2

In today’s fast-moving blockchain landscape, security, scalability, and interoperability are more critical than ever. The emergence of quantum computing presents a serious challenge to the cryptographic backbone of current blockchain networks. At Abelian Blockchain, we’re addressing this head-on with QDay - the world’s first quantum-resistant, Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible Layer 2 public chain. More than just a technological leap, QDay is a forward-looking commitment to safeguarding blockchain’s future, ensuring long-term security and resilience in a rapidly evolving digital world.

‍

QDay is more than an evolution - it’s a seamless extension of the world’s first quantum-resistant blockchain and a pioneering Layer 2 solution. Powered by Abelian’s advanced quantum-resistant algorithms, QDay sets a new benchmark for security while maximizing transaction efficiency. It streamlines processing, reduces costs, and accelerates confirmation times - all while inheriting the uncompromising quantum-resistant strength of Layer 1.

‍

On top of that, QDay pioneers a PoS-over-PoW framework, integrating a Proof of Stake (PoS) model atop Abelian Blockchain’s Proof of Work (PoW) system - a first in the industry. This innovative fusion combines the proven security and decentralization of PoW with the energy efficiency and scalability of PoS. Beyond reinforcing QDay’s quantum resistance, this strategic design ensures long-term sustainability and positions it for future growth in an evolving blockchain landscape.

QDay Core Advantages:

‍1. Quantum-Resistant Security

Leveraging the quantum-resistant algorithms of the Abelian Blockchain, QDay adds an additional layer of security, protecting the network from quantum threats while ensuring the integrity and safety of user assets and data.

2. Enhanced Scalability

QDay's Layer 2 solution builds on the strong foundation of Abelian to greatly enhance transaction throughput, targeting 2,000 TPS at launch. This ensures a scalable network capable of meeting the increasing demands of blockchain applications.

3. Cost-Effective Transactions

By processing transactions off-chain and leveraging the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, QDay significantly reduces transaction fees.

4. Accelerated Transaction Confirmations

QDay's network is designed for speed, offering near-instantaneous transaction finality. This is essential for applications that rely on fast and dependable transaction processing.

5. A Developer's Playground

With EVM compatibility at its core, QDay enables developers to easily migrate using their preferred Ethereum-based tools and languages, enhancing innovation and streamlining the development process.

6. Interoperability as a Priority

QDay is thoughtfully designed to facilitate seamless interaction with other blockchain networks, fostering cross-chain transactions and enhancing the overall cohesion and versatility of the blockchain ecosystem.

Pioneering the future of quantum-resistant blockchain

QDay’s development of quantum-resistant security will be carried out in two main phases:

Phase 1: L1-Assisted Quantum-Resistant Rollups with EVM Compatibility

QDay will introduce a quantum-resistant ledger by integrating ZK Rollups with the Abelian Blockchain, while maintaining EVM compatibility through the account model and smart contract functionalities. This transition will be smooth for Ethereum developers, enabling the use of existing Ethereum tools and languages. With Layer 1-assisted quantum-resistant rollups, QDay will protect against quantum attacks aimed at altering ledger data, including transaction orders, amounts, and state structures. Furthermore, if any attacks are detected, QDay can prevent fund loss by temporarily halting rollup execution in a quantum-resistant manner, ensuring that attackers cannot proceed once the rollups are halted, as they cannot forge the quantum-resistant signatures generated by the rollup operators.

Phase 2: L2-Native Quantum-Resistant Accounts and Smart Contracts

In this phase, QDay will launch quantum-resistant accounts by incorporating new secure keys into existing accounts, enabling operations that utilize these keys. To facilitate this, QDay's EVM will be upgraded to support post-quantum cryptographic keys and algorithms.

QDay will support two types of smart contracts: traditional and quantum-resistant. Wallets compatible with EVM smart contracts will continue to support traditional contracts, while quantum-resistant contracts will be exclusively accessible through wallets equipped with QDay’s advanced security features.

While these two quantum-resistant mechanisms function independently, they reinforce each other. One protects ledger data from quantum attacks, while the other secures individual accounts. Together, they provide QDay with strong, multi-layered security.

Even if an attacker gains access to private keys - whether through hacking or other means - funds remain protected. Aggregation can be paused, affected accounts frozen, and then safely reinstated. These actions rely on the consensus of rollup operators, ensuring that the system stays decentralized while effectively countering quantum threats.

‍

Now that QDay has launched, we are advancing toward a more secure and scalable blockchain future. By integrating quantum-resistant technologies with innovative solutions, QDay not only addresses today’s demands but is built to withstand future challenges. We believe it will empower developers and users with a powerful, adaptable platform, driving the continued evolution and adoption of blockchain technology.
