Engineering notes, release reports, and protocol writing from the team building the AI-native post-quantum L1. Concrete, verifiable, honest about gaps.
A long look at the QV desktop wallet: a post-quantum cold-storage wallet that holds Bitcoin, Lightning and QBC behind one recovery phrase. This is a private build, not a public release, and this post explains what is in it and how we harden it before anyone trusts it with value.
Three tiers of on-chain privacy, all demonstrated live today with the transactions to prove it: amount-hiding payments, post-quantum amount-hiding with real value, and a post-quantum unlinkable spend that reveals only a nullifier. The walkthrough, the evidence, and how to run it.
Most AI safety is a promise. On QBC it is a transaction. An end-to-end walk through the safety path: the Layer 1 root of trust, the Gevurah and Malkuth contracts on the QVM that make a veto enforceable, and how one chat turn leaves a permanent, auditable record.
We hardened the DiLoCo aggregator that turns many workers' gradients into one model. New defenses make a single malicious or faulty worker unable to poison training or stall the loop. Here is exactly what changed, and what it does not yet cover.
Native zero-knowledge private payments are live on QBC: amount-hiding rebuilt on Plonky3 so hiding is a guarantee of the proving system, not an argument. Reviewed, shipped value-bearing, with the on-chain record.
You can move QBC privately today: shield into a private note, transfer with the amount hidden, and cash out, all non-custodial, proven in your browser. Every protecting property is post-quantum and open for peer review.
Post-quantum private transfers live on QBC: the no-inflation proof is now a hash-based zero-knowledge STARK generated in your browser. Amounts stay hidden and soundness holds against a quantum computer.
Post-quantum Dilithium signatures and confidential transactions are live on QBC: quantum-resistant spends, and transfer amounts hidden behind commitments. Here is exactly how both work, end to end.
Confidential transactions on QBC are now permissionless end to end: shield QBC into a private note, transact with amounts hidden, and unshield back out. All non-custodial, all authorized by post-quantum signatures.
Autonomous GRANDPA equivocation slashing, end to end: detection, verified reports, stake attribution, and deferred slashing, wired at the runtime seam. Two stub methods had silently dropped every detected attack. This is how we reconnected the wire.
Every ~500 blocks, Aether fingerprints its own cognitive state, personality traits, phi, and training loss, to an append-only on-chain ledger. How the soul ledger works, and the quiet bug that meant it had never recorded a single entry until today.
QuantumAI Blockchain makes AI training a public, cryptographically verified on-chain object: proven, not promised, and auditable by anyone. The leading AI labs warn powerful AI could become hard to control; we answer with verification.
