QANplatform: Modern Blockchain For Europe cybersecurity
QANplatform Becomes the First Quantum-Resistant Member of Blockchain for Europe
QANplatform, a state-of-the-art blockchain platform that focusses on assisting programmers in using any programming language to construct Web3 applications that are impervious to quantum errors, has announced its addition to Blockchain for Europe. QANplatform achieves a major milestone by becoming the first quantum-resistant blockchain platform and joining the leading European trade association that promotes the global blockchain industry.
The members are prepared to immediately enhance the European Union's cybersecurity infrastructure. By providing crucial post-quantum security expertise, QANplatform strengthens Blockchain for Europe's support for a secure and innovative European blockchain ecosystem. The move immediately tackles the evolving security landscape brought about by quantum computing and creates new opportunities for governments and businesses throughout the continent.
Proactive security and tested technology
The foundation of QANplatform's involvement with Blockchain for Europe is a history of effectively implementing robust security measures. The company has already had success as the first to implement quantum-resistant blockchain technology in an EU country's public sector. This strategy protected vital cybersecurity infrastructure from the growing threat posed by quantum computing. The tangible benefits of preparing for the quantum future now are illustrated by this practical application.
Additionally, QANplatform has further solidified its commitment to full post-quantum security by integrating its technology with Signquantum's quantum-resistant add-on, which is specifically designed for digitally signed documents. The platform's distinct security features are essential in a technological environment where industries that rely on reliable transactions and any sector that values long-term data protection demand significant advancements. This membership directly addresses the growing need for post-quantum cryptography in European infrastructure.
Motivating New Economic Use Cases and Policy
Leaders of the association emphasised how QANplatform's expertise and technology have the potential to be transformational. Roeland Van der Stappen, Chair of Blockchain for Europe, praised the inclusion, saying QANplatform brings "invaluable expertise in post-quantum security" to the group. This expertise supports the association's efforts to promote the creation of a truly quantum-safe environment for the European blockchain ecosystem.
Van der Stappen highlighted the combined advantages of QANplatform's versatility and experience. He asserts that QAN's technology will support policy initiatives aimed at creating future-proof rules at the EU level in addition to assisting governments and businesses throughout Europe in finding intriguing new use cases. This collaboration could help European governments and businesses build more resilient infrastructure. The new use cases being investigated go beyond basic data security to include critical applications like secure supply chain management and verifiable credentials.
Creating an Ecosystem That Is Adaptable and Accessible
A major technological advantage is offered by QANplatform's cutting-edge hybrid blockchain platform, which integrates smart contract functionality. It is the first solution of its kind that lets programmers use any programming language to design use cases on the blockchain. This feature and QANplatform's quantum-resistant security make it a priceless complement to Blockchain for ongoing initiatives in Europe. Additionally, Polecsak emphasised that this collaboration fosters the development of a robust blockchain ecosystem across the continent.
Developing European Policy
The commitment of QANplatform goes beyond merely providing technology; the company intends to actively participate in the creation of EU laws that are future-proof. Blockchain for Europe is a thriving industry group with its headquarters located in Brussels. It works together with legislators and EU authorities to encourage the adoption and regulation of blockchain technology. The association's operations are focused on the three main pillars of advocacy, education, and networking. Members, like QANplatform, engage in policy discussions, take part in working groups, and build relationships with significant figures in the European blockchain industry.
QANplatform is in a prime position to significantly support these advocacy efforts. Polecsak said the company is excited to contribute its experience to ensure that European blockchain regulations remain innovative and resilient to emerging threats from quantum computing, fostering a secure and thriving digital economy for years to come.
QANplatform's owner and operator, Hadamard LLC, is one of over 30 notable industry leaders participating in this joint lobbying campaign. Because it is run by an experienced board and advisory council of experts from government, industry, and academia, the organisation has a big say in how blockchain and Web3 legislation are developed throughout Europe. QANplatform is also a member of the Linux Foundation, having been among the initial 20 members of the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance (PQCA) of the Linux Foundation.
In addition to its early accomplishments in the EU public sector, QANplatform hopes to expand the use of its technology in several other important industries, including banking and healthcare. The association will be in a better position to counsel policymakers on the application of quantum-resistant solutions by taking this preventative action, shielding critical systems from any threats.
