01 QUANTUM ANNOUNCES QLABS TO LAUNCH QUANTUM-SIG WALLET TO PROTECT CRYPTO FROM QUANTUM ATTACKS

01 Quantum Inc.'s patent-pending quantum DeFi wrapper will power the qLABS Quantum-Sig smart contract wallet. This wallet introduces enterprise-grade postquantum cybersecurity directly into the Web3 environment through a strategic alliance, as previously announced, between qLABS and 01 Quantum.

Next-generation security for digital assets

The Quantum-Sig wallet technology will protect any smart-contract-based token such as Ethereum, HYPE or Solana, including leading stablecoins such as USDT and USDC. At the core of this innovation is the coming qLABS quantum-resilient ecosystem token known as qONE, which will become the primary utility token powering this new security protocol across Web3.

This innovation directly addresses the accelerating risk of Q-Day, which is the moment when it is anticipated quantum computers will be capable of breaking the classical cryptography that secures today's digital assets. As a result, funds held inside traditional wallets that rely on classical signatures can be compromised. The Quantum-Sig wallet is designed to provide a future-proof safeguard against this threat.

"Quantum-Sig is a real breakthrough. It adds quantum level protection without new wallets, without new chains and without user friction," said Antanas Guoga (Tony G), president of qLABS. "We are delivering the security Web3 needs without changing the way people already hold and trade crypto."

Andrew Cheung, chief executive officer of 01 Quantum, added: "We are excited to see our patent-pending QDW technology applied in a production environment to mitigate the Q-Day risk. Embedding postquantum cryptographic primitives directly into the Quantum-Sig wallet introduces a quantum circuit breaker architecture that neutralizes classical key compromise. This implementation demonstrates how our technology can deliver quantum-resilient transaction signing at scale, ensuring that digital assets remain secure today and in the postquantum world of computing."

Market context

The global digital asset market exceeds $3-trillion (U.S.) according to CoinMarketCap. Regulatory bodies in several regions have already warned that quantum resilience will soon be a requirement for long-term financial security. Despite this maturity, the industry remains exposed due to reliance on classical cryptographic algorithms such as ECDSA. Quantum-Sig wallet technology addresses this gap by providing broad spectrum protection without sacrificing interoperability or performance for smart-contract-based tokens such as Ethereum or Solana including leading stablecoins such as USDT or USDC.

How it works

The Quantum-Sig wallet applies security principles that are similar to the multisignature wallets commonly used throughout Web3. In a standard multisignature set-up, two or more signatures are needed to release assets from a contract. In the case of the Quantum-Sig wallet, the smart contract requires an additional signature that must be produced by a quantum resilient private key. As a result, a malicious actor cannot withdraw funds even if they compromise the classical key. The Quantum-Sig wallet ensures protection at the smart contract level while maintaining speed and interoperability for users and developers.

Technical highlights:

• Patent-pending method (U.S. No. 19/396,202): implementation of PQC circuit breaker;
• Performance optimization: compatible with existing Layer 1 chains;
• Scalable tool kit: includes support for custodian wallets and existing postquantum stablecoins.

The qONE token, which is a quantum-resistant token on Hyperliquid, serves as the ecosystem asset that grants access to quantum-resilient wallet functions, advanced security features, protocol governance and the broader quantum safe infrastructure developed by qLABS. The qONE initiative is designed to synchronize community engagement with the adoption of the Quantum-Sig technology, thereby incentivizing the sustained expansion of the ecosystem.

Financing and growth

qLABS confirmed that it completed its preseed round financing which was oversubscribed and raised $390,000 (U.S.) in early-stage capital from strategic investors, establishing an implied market valuation of $6-million (U.S.) for the Tier No. 1 preseed round. This marks the first step in a multistage financing plan by qLABS that is expected to include two additional rounds and the broader distribution of the qLABS token to the community as development and adoption continue to grow.
