Quantum Intelligence · Post-quantum layer-1

HQ. The quantum-resistant chain.

HQ is Quantum Intelligence — the chain behind HYLAQ QUANTUM. Every key, transaction, and block is secured with NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptography, built for throughput, smart contracts, and tokens you can brand your own way.

Technology

Engineered for the next era of cryptography

Most blockchains rely on elliptic-curve signatures a future quantum computer could break. HQ is built differently from the ground up.

Quantum-resistant by default

Signatures use ML-DSA-44 (FIPS 204), the NIST post-quantum standard — not a patch, but the foundation of every account and block.

High throughput

A lean Rust core with a parallel-execution roadmap and honest, published benchmarks — performance you can verify, not slogans.

Smart contracts (HQ-VM)

A deterministic, gas-metered virtual machine with persistent storage. Deploy programmable logic that can never loop forever.

Proof-of-Stake

Stake-weighted, deterministic leader election. No mining, no waste — every honest node agrees on the next proposer.

Custom-prefix tokens

Brand your token's address. Choose a 1–8 letter prefix at deploy time — MOON…, DOGE…, your call. Wallets stay HQ-branded.

Run it yourself

Full Rust node, a serverless node that runs on Vercel, testnet and mainnet configs, and a one-command local network demo.

Your brand on-chain

Tokens that start with your name

On most chains every address looks the same. On HQ, anyone creating a token picks its prefix — up to eight letters — so the address itself carries the brand.

# deploy a token with a custom prefix
hq deploy --from wallet.json \
  --code token.json --prefix MOON

# -> Contract/token address:

Build on HQ

From zero to a live network in minutes

Generate a post-quantum wallet, define genesis, and run a validator. Spin up a two-node network locally with a single script.

# build
cargo build --release

# a post-quantum wallet (address starts with HQ)
hq keygen --out wallet.json

# run a validator node
hq run --data ./data --genesis genesis.json \
  --validator wallet.json

# send value, signed with ML-DSA
hq send --from wallet.json --to HQ… --amount 25

Build on a chain that's ready for what's next.

Quantum-resistant. High-throughput. Yours to run. Welcome to HYLAQ QUANTUM.
