State-of-the art now
Quantum-safe for the future
The next evolution in blockchain security - delivering unmatched protection today, with built-in resilience for the post-quantum era.
Background: Blockchains rely heavily on ECC
Most blockchains, wallets, and smart contracts rely on legacy encryption – exposing them to quantum threats. Today's solutions are rigid and require downtime, hard forks, or complex migrations.
QFlex: Security that evolves with you
QFlex is a drop-in cryptographic API that delivers:
Transaction-Level Agility
With QFlex, every transaction becomes its own fortress. Select the strongest cipher for your most valuable assets, experiment with new algorithms without system-wide upgrades, and pivot instantly if a vulnerability emerges — all without halting your chain or forcing a hard fork.
Universal Compatibility
QFlex doesn’t lock you into one standard - it speaks every language of cryptography. From today’s classical algorithms to hybrid models and tomorrow’s post-quantum standards, it keeps wallets, dApps, and blockchains running seamlessly without forks or rewrites. As new PQC algorithms emerge, QFlex adapts instantly, future-proofing your security for whatever comes next.
Quantum-Ready Security
QFlex is natively designed to quickly adapt to new ciphers. As new ciphers come to market to address emerging threats, QFlex allows you to easily adapt and hot swap without costly migrations. Thereby eliminating downtime, and maintaining alignment with evolving regulations - turning future risk into present-day resilience.
Post-quantum cryptography creates greater demands - bigger keys, larger signatures, and complex algorithms push nodes to their limits. The Universal Transaction Layer(UTL) provides on-demand muscle - compute and storage you control. Quantum-resistant, vendor-free, and built to scale.
UTL Layer - Optional Compute & Storage Services
Our Universal Transaction Layer (UTL) delivers secure, scalable services governed and operated by users or blockchain protocols - ensuring alignment with decentralized, trustless ecosystems.
On-Demand Compute
Not every node has the horsepower for post-quantum workloads. With UTL On-Demand Compute, you can amplify power exactly when you need it whether for lightweight nodes, performance-intensive dApps, or rapid cryptographic operations - all without centralized bottlenecks or permanent overhead.
Quantum-Resistant Storage
Post-quantum security demands more than just compute - it also demands greater storage capacity. UTL On-Demand Storage provide storage for short-term payloads, long-term archives, or regulatory compliance requirements.
Full Compatibility with QFlex
The UTL layer is built to enhance what you already run — no rewrites, no forced migrations, and vendor independant. Seamlessly aligned with QFlex, UTL adds compute and storage on your terms, providing the freedom to scale, adapt, and evolve.

Why now?
Quantum threats are here. Encrypted data is being harvested now to decrypt later — and quantum breakthroughs won’t be announced. Security needs to adapt continuously, without friction or downtime.`
Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL)
(sometimes called Steal Now, Harvest Later or SNHL)
Adversaries are capturing data today for future decryption with quantum tools.
Cipher Uncertainty
We don’t yet know which post-quantum algorithms will remain unbroken.
Q-Day Surprise Factor
The day quantum computers break current encryption. Cryptographically-relevant quantum computers (CRQC) won’t be disclosed publicly.
Transitions Are Rigid
Upgrading cryptography is still a manual, costly, and slow process.
Compliance Pressure
Regulatory bodies are accelerating timelines for PQC readiness. The NSA’s timeline requires full US PQC adoption by 2035, while some allies aim to finish by 2030
Cipher-Level Flexibility
Change ciphers per-message to avoid downtime and maintain operational continuity.
