Users can buy QTC confidentially using over 180 assets across 30+ chains from accounts they control, without needing a centralized exchange or bridging. QTC also integrates with the NEAR Intents 1Click Swap API, letting any wallet or app already connected to 1Click offer QTC without building Quantus-specific infrastructure. QTC transactions use ML-DSA, NIST's post-quantum signature standard finalized in 2024, and NEAR accounts can similarly be secured with that scheme, since NEAR has quantum-safe signing live on mainnet. The launch follows the Quantus mainnet debut on September 9, 2026, and comes as NEAR pursues a broader roadmap toward quantum-safe consensus and cross-chain execution. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What cryptographic signature scheme does Quantus use for QTC transactions to protect against quantum computers? QTC transactions use ML-DSA, the post-quantum signature standard finalized by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2024. This is designed to withstand attacks from future quantum computers, unlike the cryptography used by most current blockchains. NEAR accounts holding QTC can also be secured with this same ML-DSA scheme. _Developers tracking post-quantum security rollouts in blockchain infrastructure can follow updates like this on daily.dev._ ### How can I buy the QTC token without using a centralized exchange? QTC can be purchased directly on near.com using more than 180 assets across over 30 chains, including BTC, ETH, USDC, and ZEC, from an account the user controls, without first sending funds to an exchange or bridging them. Integration with the NEAR Intents 1Click Swap API also lets any wallet already connected to 1Click offer QTC directly. _Anyone evaluating cross-chain swap mechanics for new tokens can keep up with these integrations on daily.dev._ ### What is NEAR's roadmap for making its blockchain fully quantum-safe? NEAR has published a roadmap extending post-quantum security beyond the account layer: quantum-safe consensus is planned for the second half of 2027, inbound cross-chain transactions begin in 2027, and quantum-safe threshold signing for outbound cross-chain execution is in active research. Account-level quantum-safe signing via ML-DSA is already live on NEAR mainnet. _Teams planning for post-quantum migrations across chains can track roadmap milestones like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Quantum Alliance Launches to Set Post-Quantum Standards for Blockchains](https://daily.dev/posts/quantum-alliance-launches-to-set-post-quantum-standards-for-blockchains-gx4zj43py) · The Quantum Insider · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [BTQ Technologies Launches Bitcoin Quantum Testnet](https://daily.dev/posts/btq-technologies-launches-bitcoin-quantum-testnet-rhyoc3vzq) · The Quantum Insider · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [qLABS and Quantum Inc.
