Post-quantum blockchain with Proof of Quantum Work
| Consensus | Proof of Quantum Work (PoQW) |
|---|---|
| Signature | Dilithium3 (NIST FIPS 204) |
| Hash | SHA-256 (blocks) + SHA3-256 (merkle) |
| Halving | Every 210,000 blocks (~4 years) |
Current blockchain signatures (ECDSA, Ed25519) will be broken by quantum computers. Ǝ-Chain uses Dilithium3, a lattice-based signature scheme from the NIST post-quantum cryptography standard. Your coins remain secure even after quantum computers arrive.
