$QTC: Money Quantum Computers Can't Break
Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana all run on elliptic curve cryptography.
A big enough quantum computer can derive your private key from your public key.
Google estimates it takes fewer than 1,200 logical qubits to break Bitcoin's signatures.
Google itself has set a 2029 deadline to migrate its own systems.
The question isn't "if" anymore. It's "who's ready."
$QTC was built for that exact day:
– ML-DSA signatures, the NIST-approved post-quantum standard (FIPS 204)
– Post-quantum from block one. No migration, no fights over freezing old coins
– Proof-of-Work, 21M hard cap, same as Bitcoin
– Hash-based ZK proofs to aggregate txs and break the sender–receiver link
– Mainnet live since Sept 9, 2026
Who's behind
$QTC:
– Founders: Christopher Smith (CEO) and Joseph Mattia
– Investors:
@balajis led the latest round. Also in: Babak Nivi (AngelList co-founder) and Mert (Helius founder)
– Advisors:
@rargulati (ex-CoinList CEO, now at Ravikant Capital),
@arjunkhemani, Tom Howard
Several of these names were among the loudest backers of the
$ZEC run, from ~$50 to $1,500+ in a year.
– Total raised: $2.42M across 2 rounds, at $40M and $100M valuations
🔥 Circulating supply is only ~51,200 QTC, ~$4.6M market cap
– Team, investor and company allocations (26% of supply) are locked until Sept 2027, then vest over 36 months
– NEAR has announced a
$QTC listing on NEAR Intents (no date yet)
🔥 Oct 8: Quantus co-hosts Quantum & Privacy Day with NEAR in Singapore. Speakers include Balaji, Zooko (Zcash), Illia Polosukhin (NEAR), Haseeb Qureshi (Dragonfly) and Hunter Horsley (Bitwise)
Bitcoin is insurance against fiat.
$QTC is betting on being insurance against quantum.
