QNS Blockchain Architecture
200,000+ TPS — the early QNS version (genesis). Around 200,000 operations per second is what the early QNS build delivered before all the new layers were added: post-quantum Dilithium3 protection, full verification of every transaction by all validators, and Web3 (QVM/EVM/TVM smart contracts). Every security layer costs computation, so today the live chain's real throughput with full verification is 14,469 TPS peak with post-quantum protection and 38,310 TPS without it. All measurements and logs are on the Tests page.

Validators
Post-Quantum Cryptography
QNS uses a hybrid scheme with traditional and post-quantum cryptography for maximum security
Dilithium3
NIST digital signature standard based on lattice structures. Security level 3.
Falcon-512
Fast post-quantum signatures with compact size (NTRU lattices). QVM implementation not finished yet.
SPHINCS+
Maximum security without trusted setup. Based only on hash functions.
Kyber1024
NIST post-quantum KEM standard. Available as a QVM opcode; Kyber key exchange between network nodes — in development.
Hybrid Scheme Ed25519 + Post-Quantum
All transactions are signed with both traditional (Ed25519) and post-quantum algorithms. This provides protection against both classical and quantum attacks simultaneously.
