Quantum-resistant Layer 1 hybrid blockchain platform, QANplatform, has announced the launch of its public TestNet, making it the first Ethereum compatible quantum-resistant blockchain platform.
According to a press release shared with CryptoPotato, users can now add the QAN TestNet to MetaMask and transact with testnet tokens due to the network’s compatibility with Ethereum.
The QAN team also plans to include the QAN Virtual Machine (QVM) multi-language smart contract engine after internal testing is completed.
QANplatform describes itself as a revolutionary Layer 1 platform that allows project developers to code in any programming language without having to learn a new smart contract language.
Its multi-language feature will supposedly pave the way for much broader adoption of blockchain technology, as developers will be able to build quantum-resistant smart contracts, dApps, DeFi, DAO, NFT, tokens, Metaverse, and Web3 solutions on QANplatform using any programming language they already know.
The project believes this will give rise to several new and highly anticipated blockchain use cases in the crypto space. Thus, it can make talent acquisition, development, and codebase maintenance more accessible and cost-efficient for companies.
Speaking on the TestNet launch, QANplatforn’s co-founder and CTO, Johann Polecsak, said:
“I’m pleased to announce that QANplatform is the very first Ethereum compatible quantum-resistant Layer 1 blockchain platform on the planet.
The TestNet release is a truly defining milestone in QAN’s lifespan and proof that providing quantum security yet remaining compatible with 99% of the ecosystem is very much possible. QAN is the only such solution in the crypto space, and I am very proud of the whole team for making this miracle happen.”
QANplatform aims to lower the entry barriers for developers to build quickly and securely by integrating with some of the most popular programming languages, DevOps technologies, cloud platforms, indexing, and Oracle API currently used by developers.
“We are proud that we created the first economic model for blockchains where smart contract authors are financially motivated to produce well-documented, high-quality reusable pieces of software,” Polecsak added.
