Naoris Protocol announced the official launch of its Mainnet on April 1, 2026, introducing a post-quantum Layer 1 blockchain designed to withstand emerging quantum computing threats. This deployment establishes a production-ready environment where decentralized Proof of Security (dPoSec) consensus and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) approved cryptography protect transactions from future decryption.
The network currently operates in an invite-only phase for strategic partners and validators after a testnet phase that mitigated over 603 million threats. With over 106 million post-quantum transactions already processed, the protocol serves as a reference model for the Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework (PQFIF) within international regulatory jurisdictions.
The system addresses the “harvest now, decrypt later” threat by ensuring that every transaction and wallet is secured against classical cryptographic vulnerabilities. By operating at the Sub-Zero Layer, the protocol extends its security mesh across decentralized finance ( DeFi) protocols, cross-chain bridges, and enterprise cloud networks to ensure long-term data immunality.
“Mainnet represents the transition from proof-of-concept to production infrastructure. The network has already validated over 100 million transactions using post-quantum cryptography. That is not a roadmap promise; it is measured, operational capacity,” said Nathaniel Szerezla, Chief Growth Officer of Naoris Protocol.
🧭 FAQs
