QNS Whitepaper
Technical documentation of the first production blockchain with post-quantum cryptography and native DeFi primitives
Key Highlights
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.
