Quantum Computer
Resistant

QUAD utilizes a post-quantum cryptographic standard, which is mathematically demonstrated to withstand attacks from sophisticated quantum computers in the future.

Fast & Performant

The QUAD employs an innovative dual-chain structure to provide a decentralized PQC network without sacrificing security, scalability, or transaction speed.

Future-Proof DeFi
Ecosystem

Developers have the option to transfer existing smart contracts to take advantage of QUAD’s enhanced speed and security or utilize the PRICE and RAND oracles to safeguard and expand their dApps.

Building a Blockchain

for the Future
of DeFi

In just a few years, Quantum Computing will become a genuine security risk for modern blockchains. The widely used encryption standard in current blockchains, asymmetric cryptography, will be vulnerable to attacks because of the advanced computational capabilities of quantum computers. QUAD was developed to safeguard against this danger, aiming to secure and maintain distributed ledger technologies and their associated innovations, such as DeFi, GameFi, and NFTs, without sacrificing performance.

DeFi and Smart Contract-Enabled

The QUAD ecosystem is supported by an EVM-compatible smart contract platform, enabling the creation of quantum-resistant QUAD native dApps or migration of existing smart contracts from other chains to take advantage of QUAD’s security features.

Frictionless DeFi and GameFi Development

With feeless PRICE and RAND oracles™, QUAD facilitates the development and adoption of DeFi and GameFi applications by providing dApps with access to price data and verifiable random numbers without the need for costly third-party oracle calls.

Novel Consensus Model: Proof-of-Synergy

Proof-of-Synergy, QUAD’s consensus mechanism, combines the best aspects of industry-standard mechanisms, making the network PQC-compliant, eco-friendly, DDoS-resistant, fully decentralized, and capable of high transaction throughput.

Cutting-Edge Security

Protected by advanced cryptographic technologies and a NIST-shortlisted standard, QUAD™ is resistant to attacks from even the most advanced quantum computers.

Scalable and Fast

QUAD’s innovative split-chain architecture and techniques like homomorphic hashing enable significantly faster transaction speeds and throughput compared to networks like Bitcoin or Ethereum, at a fraction of the cost.

Environmentally Friendly

To secure QUAD™, only a limited number of nodes are needed to perform the Proof-of-Synergy algorithm, reducing the environmental impact seen in other protocols and positioning QUAD as a sustainable, future-proof blockchain ecosystem.

PQC: Deflationary and Provably Scarce

The native payments token, QAD, primarily drives QUAD™ and is used for fees and governance rewards within the ecosystem. QAD total supply is deflationary, with block rewards decreasing over time according to a fixed schedule.

QUAD

Features &
Benefit
