{"id":"quranium","title":"Quranium","content":"**Quranium** is a Layer 1 [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) protocol designed to provide a quantum-secure and AI-native infrastructure for [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) applications. It aims to function as a \"[convergence](https://iq.wiki/wiki/convergence) layer\" for artificial intelligence, [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), and the Internet of Things (IoT) while maintaining compatibility with the [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) Virtual Machine (EVM). [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-ErmNjYeHgl) [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-xNfUIxj2iD)\n\n## Overview\n\nLaunched in 2024, Quranium positions itself as a foundational platform built to address the future security threat that quantum computing poses to existing cryptographic standards. The project's mission is to establish a secure [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) infrastructure in anticipation of \"Q-Day,\" the theoretical point at which a quantum computer could break current [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) encryption algorithms. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-xNfUIxj2iD) By integrating AI-native capabilities with a quantum-secure framework, Quranium seeks to support a new generation of intelligent and autonomous decentralized applications. The project has also defined its market sector as DeQUIP (Decentralized Quantum-Uncrackable Infrastructure Protocol), aiming to set new standards for digital security. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-QZkBWbI7eu)\n\nThe organization is headquartered in Switzerland, with additional offices located in the [Dubai Multi Commodities Centre ](https://iq.wiki/wiki/dubai-multi-commodities-centre)(DMCC) in the United Arab Emirates and in Singapore. The team comprises over 50 members, led by Co-founder and CEO Kapil Dhiman, with Olivia Karlsson serving as the Chief of Staff to the CEO. In June 2025, Quranium announced it had secured a strategic investment from [Animoca Brands](https://iq.wiki/wiki/animoca) to accelerate its adoption [across](https://iq.wiki/wiki/across) the gaming, [metaverse](https://iq.wiki/wiki/metaverse), and AI-powered sectors of the [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) ecosystem. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-ErmNjYeHgl) [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-wQoZmp3Zh7)\n\n## Products\n\n### QSafe Wallet\n\nAs part of its 2025 roadmap, Quranium plans to release the QSafe Wallet. The wallet is described as a quantum-secure, multi-chain crypto wallet designed to protect user assets against both current and future cryptographic threats. It is intended to provide a secure storage solution that aligns with the protocol's core focus on post-quantum security. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-ErmNjYeHgl)\n\n## Technology and Architecture\n\n### Core Design\n\nQuranium is architected as a Layer 1 [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), meaning it is a base-level protocol that can support its own ecosystem of applications and tokens without relying on another network for security or consensus. It utilizes a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) [consensus mechanism](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism), which it refers to as its \"[Convergence](https://iq.wiki/wiki/convergence) Layer.\" This design is intended to provide a foundational infrastructure for what the project terms \"mission-critical systems\" and to support digital sovereignty. The protocol is engineered for high-throughput execution to handle a large volume of transactions and support scalable applications. It also employs a deterministic [consensus mechanism](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism) to ensure that network validation is consistent and predictable. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-ErmNjYeHgl) [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-wQoZmp3Zh7)\n\nA key aspect of its architecture is compatibility with the [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) Virtual Machine (EVM). This allows developers familiar with the [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) ecosystem to migrate existing decentralized applications (dApps) or build new ones on Quranium using established tools and programming languages like [Solidity](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solidity). This feature is intended to lower the barrier to entry for developers and foster interoperability between Quranium and the broader [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) ecosystem. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-xNfUIxj2iD) [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-t5xQExUKmf)\n\n### Key Features\n\nQuranium's infrastructure is built around several core technological features:\n\n* **Quantum-Secure Core:** The protocol's primary security feature is its use of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). This involves implementing quantum-resistant encryption algorithms designed to be secure against attacks from both powerful classical computers and future quantum computers. This \"quantum-uncrackable\" design is intended to provide long-term resilience and safeguard the network's data and transactions against the emerging threat of quantum decryption. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-QZkBWbI7eu) [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-MU9R4pILEa)\n* **AI-Native Infrastructure:** Quranium integrates artificial intelligence logic at the protocol [level](https://iq.wiki/wiki/level). This feature is designed to support intelligent automation and enable the development of autonomous, decentralized applications. By building AI capabilities into its foundational layer, the protocol aims to provide a robust environment for AI-driven functionalities and empower developers creating applications at the intersection of AI and [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3). [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-ErmNjYeHgl)\n\n## Use Cases\n\nThe Quranium protocol is designed to support a variety of applications, particularly in sectors that require high levels of security, scalability, and intelligent automation. Potential use cases include:\n\n* **Gaming and Metaverse:** Developing immersive gaming and [metaverse](https://iq.wiki/wiki/metaverse) applications that can [leverage](https://iq.wiki/wiki/leverage) the platform's high-throughput capabilities and secure asset ownership.\n* **AI-Powered Decentralized Applications:** Building and deploying dApps that utilize the native AI infrastructure for autonomous operations, intelligent decision-making, and complex data processing.\n* **Mission-Critical Systems:** Providing the underlying infrastructure for enterprise and governmental systems that require long-term data security and integrity, such as digital identity solutions or secure supply chain management.\n* **Digital Sovereignty and Ownership:** Creating platforms that empower users with control over their data and digital assets, secured by quantum-resistant cryptography.\n\nThese use cases are supported by the project's focus on creating a secure and scalable bridge between traditional Web2 systems and the decentralized [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) ecosystem.
