QUANTA

The Post-Quantum BFT Settlement Layer

License: AGPLv3 License: Commercial Rust Version

Founder: Kishore K — admin@quantachain.org — quantachain.org


Overview

QUANTA V2 is a production-ready, post-quantum blockchain engineered for extreme performance and determinism. QUANTA is built on a custom Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) engine combined with Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (AlephBFT).

This architecture provides the instant finality, high throughput, and cryptographic security required for high-frequency institutional settlement and automated agent networks.

For full technical specifications, architecture diagrams, and node operation guides, please refer to the Official QUANTA Documentation.


Chain Features & Optimizations

QUANTA has been heavily optimized at the networking, consensus, and storage layers:

  • Asynchronous BFT Consensus: Integrates AlephBFT for deterministic, 6-second block finality. The network cannot fork, and transactions are irreversible once included in a block.
  • Quantum-Resistant Cryptography: Secures all transactions using NIST-standardized Falcon-512 signatures and SHA3-256 hashing, safeguarding against future cryptographic breakthroughs.
  • Parallel Execution: Leverages Rayon for thread-safe, parallel transaction verification and multi-core signature validation.
  • O(1) Mempool Filtering: Implements Bloom filters for constant-time duplicate transaction detection, dramatically reducing memory overhead during network spikes.
  • Optimized Storage Engine: Utilizes Sled KV with Zstd compression, an LRU block cache, and amortized O(1) state pruning to keep node storage requirements lightweight.
  • Native Smart Templates: Built-in, audited contract templates (Escrow, Multisig, Agent Jobs) execute at the native protocol level, avoiding the overhead and attack vectors of Turing-complete virtual machines.
  • Institutional Treasury: Native 3-of-N Multisig governance enforced directly by the consensus layer.

Quick Start (Docker)

We strongly recommend running QUANTA via Docker to ensure environment consistency.

# Pull the latest image
docker pull xd637/quanta-node:latest

# Run a detached background node
docker run -d \
  --name quanta-node \
  --restart always \
  -p 3000:3000 -p 8333:8333 -p 7782:7782 -p 9090:9090 \
  -v quanta-data:/home/quanta/quanta_data \
  -v quanta-logs:/home/quanta/logs \
  xd637/quanta-node:latest

Check the node status:

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:7782/ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "node_status", "params": {}, "id": 1}'

For instructions on building from source or running a validator node, see the Node Operator Guide.
