Naoris protocolthe first production quantum-resistant blockchain and cybersecurity mesh architecture, announced that Michael Terpin has joined the company as a strategic advisor. Terpin’s strategic investment in the Naoris Protocol is widely recognized by CNBC as the “Godfather of Crypto” and underlines its leadership in decentralized post-quantum infrastructure.
Michael Terpin is the founder and CEO of Transform Ventures, a leading blockchain consultancy and venture studio, and Transform Studios, a Bermuda-based blockchain incubator. Terpin is also the founder and chairman of the cryptocurrency industry’s largest consulting/marketing firm, Transform Group, which represents more than half of the cryptocurrency industry’s market cap, excluding Bitcoin. An early and enthusiastic proponent of blockchain, Michael’s recently released book “Bitcoin Supercycle: How the Crypto Calendar Can Make You Rich,” was the best-selling new release in Amazon’s Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency section.
Last month Naoris was cited in a research submission to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a reference model for quantum-resilient blockchain infrastructure in its Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework (PQFIF). The research documentsubmitted to the US Crypto Assets Task Force, highlights the existential threat of quantum computing to global financial systems and outlines a roadmap for protecting trillions of dollars in digital assets. Within this framework, the Naoris Protocol is recognized as a proven, evidence-based implementation model for industry-wide adoption.
“I am excited to join Naoris as an advisor amid the growing recognition around the need for quantum-resilient security for both Web2 and Web3,” says Michael Terpin, founder and CEO of Transform Ventures. “A recent SEC research paper presents Naoris as the standard for the financial industry’s shift to quantum-safe systems. As regulators look for examples of quantum-resistant blockchain and zero-knowledge privacy solutions, Naoris will set the benchmark.”
“Engaging Michael Terpin as a strategic advisor demonstrates the scale of our ambition to pioneer the first decentralized post-quantum infrastructure for Web2 and Web3,” said CEO and founder of Naoris, David Carvalho. “His unparalleled expertise in crypto public relations and regulation will be especially valuable as the industry shifts to post-quantum infrastructure, given his proven track record in navigating and shaping the crypto space.”
Earlier this year, Naoris raised $3 million in a strategic funding round led by Mason Labs, with participation from Tim Draper, Frekaz Group, Level One Robotics and Tradecraft Capital.
The announcement comes just months after the launch of Naoris’ native utility token $NAORIS, which powers a machine-driven trust economy and enables real-time, quantum-resistant security validations for both Web3 and traditional Web2 infrastructures. Embedded in the Sub-Zero layer of a decentralized trust mesh, $NAORIS facilitates autonomous device-to-device security challenges that trigger token swaps on a per-block basis, ensuring continuous, automated trust without human intervention. Each node earns influence and rewards based on its trust score, creating a dynamic consensus system rooted in behavior and reliability. Token holders can leverage to secure the network and participate in governance, with incentives tailored to the long-term resilience of the protocol.
Naoris Protocol operates on the Sub-Zero Layer, under L0 to L2 blockchains, providing the trust and security for decentralized applications and existing internet infrastructure. It integrates directly with EVM-compatible blockchains without the need for hard forks and extends protection to blockchain transactions, physical infrastructure including enterprise systems, cloud platforms, IoT devices, validators, bridges and decentralized exchanges. Naoris Protocol’s Post-Quantum technology is aligned with NIST, NATO and ETSI post-quantum standards – the US government has mandated that all digital systems transition to post-quantum cryptographic standards by 2030, with older algorithms completely phased out by 2035.
Naoris’ architecture combines Post-Quantum Cryptography, Decentralized Proof-of-Security (dPoSec) consensus and Swarm AI to secure blockchain transactions and web infrastructure against quantum computing risks. Key features include:
-
Quantum-safe Blockchain transactions: Enhances EVM blockchains against quantum threats without network disruptions.
-
Trusted Web3 infrastructure: Immutable, real-time mesh network secures nodes, validators, bridges, and DEXs.
-
Distributed Web2 security: Converts all devices into validator nodes, forming a self-healing network without individual points of failure.
Since launching its testnet in January, Naoris Protocol has shown significant growth, with more than 104 million post-quantum transactions processed, more than 3.3 million wallets onboard, more than 1 million security nodes and more than 544 million cyber threats, as well as 31 active projects in development across sectors such as finance, telecom, energy, defense and IoT.
