Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 11, 2026) - 01 Quantum Inc. (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF) ("01 Quantum" or the "Company"), one of the first-to-market, enterprise level cybersecurity providers for the quantum computing era, today announced the successful $qONE Token Generation Event (TGE) on HyperEVM by qLABS. Following the event, $qONE is now trading live on the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange platform: https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/trade

The $qONE token launch marks a foundational step in the rollout of the qONE Security Protocol. The token establishes the on-chain and economic framework required for the next phase: Activating a quantum lock-unlock mechanism using 01 Quantum's QCW (Quantum Crypto Wrapper) and QDW (Quantum DeFi Wrapper) technologies.

"In traditional security, defenses are deployed before the breach. $qONE applies that same, crucial discipline to Web3 in anticipation of quantum threats," said Antanas Guoga (Tony G), President of qLabs.

qLABS is pursuing a staged deployment strategy aligned with enterprise and government security practices:

• Phase 1: $qONE token launch and protocol foundation
• Phase 2: Integration of quantum circuit breaker using IronCAP™, 01 Quantum's NIST-aligned cryptographic engine, combined with zero-knowledge proofs
• Phase 3: Expansion to quantum-resistant authorization for wallets, assets, and protocol-level transactions

Backed by years of extensive research with multiple U.S. patents and patent-pending technologies, 01 Quantum provides the cryptographic foundation to the qONE Security protocol through IronCAP™. This architecture enables incremental adoption of post-quantum security without changes to base-layer consensus or disruptive migrations.

"The $qONE TGE is not the end state, it is the starting point," said Andrew Cheung, CEO at 01 Quantum. "It creates the conditions necessary to deploy Q-Day threat protection safely and at scale for existing digital assets without the need of any hard-forking or modification of an existing L1 chain."

With the token infrastructure live, the focus now shifts to integrating IronCAP™ based QCW and QDW technologies into the qONE Security Protocol, advancing Web3 toward quantum-resilient authorization.
