Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) is a cryptocurrency project designed to address the prospect of attacks from quantum computers. Its stated purpose is to support transactions and decentralized communication while seeking protection against both classical and quantum-computing attacks. The project was founded by Peter Waterland after research into the vulnerability of signature systems associated with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. QRL describes itself as a long-term, quantum-resistant blockchain and uses XMSS, a post-quantum cryptographic signature method, in its security design. The project’s profile also describes a ledger that generates hashes to protect digital assets and records. Its listed categories include Smart Contract Platform, Proof of Work (PoW), and Quantum-Resistant. The project is associated with the Python programming language and presents quantum resilience as its central design objective.
