Post-quantum Layer 1 · Proof of work

Secured against the computer that hasn’t been built yet.

Soqucoin is a proof-of-work blockchain whose every signature is lattice-based (ML-DSA-44, NIST FIPS 204) — quantum-resistant from the genesis block. Not retrofitted. Not a feature flag. The foundation.

§ 01 — The thesis

Every blockchain in production today is signed with elliptic-curve cryptography. A sufficiently large quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm breaks all of it — and the coins it secures become forgeable retroactively.

The standard answer is “we’ll migrate later.” Migration means re-securing trillions in value, in flight, under adversarial pressure. We think that’s the wrong bet.

“Quantum resistance is not a feature you add. It is the assumption you build on.”

Fig. 3 — The Number-Theoretic Transform. ML-DSA-44 multiplies the polynomials behind every signature by passing them through this butterfly network — an FFT over a finite field (ℤq). Shown at 16 points; Dilithium runs it at 256. It is why a 2,420-byte signature verifies in microseconds.
§ 03 — Where you come in

Five ways into the post-quantum ecosystem. Each path leads to a live property — a pool, a bridge, a scanner, the Foundation — not a waitlist.

For developersBuild quantum-safe applications.

A pure-TypeScript SDK, in-browser Dilithium signing, and a live playground — generate a wallet, fund it, sign and broadcast a real transaction without installing anything.

For minersSecure the chain, earn the block.

Scrypt proof-of-work with merge-mined AuxPoW. Point a rig at SOQUPOOL for transparent, post-quantum-signed payouts — on hardware you already own.
