Quantum-Resistant Blockchain Is Now Live*


- *Naoris Protocol* just launched its first Layer 1 mainnet with _full_ post-quantum cryptography.
- It has received NIST approval, marking an important milestone as the quantum threat timeline accelerates. 24cf

*2. NIST Chooses a New Backup Algorithm: HQC*
- In March 2025, NIST officially selected *HQC* as the fifth algorithm for post-quantum encryption.
- Its role is to serve as a backup *ML-KEM* that was standardized last year.
- The reason: HQC uses _error-correcting codes_, which have a different mathematical foundation from ML-KEM, which uses _structured lattices_. If ML-KEM is compromised, HQC remains as a fallback.
- The draft HQC standard is expected to be released in about ∼1 year, with finalization in 2027. 40a2

*3. Big Tech Races to Migrate to Post-Quantum*
- *Google* targets 2029 to stop using RSA & ECC and fully migrate to PQC. The first priority is authentication services.
- The U.S. government targets a complete migration to PQC.
