# QANplatform (QANX) Quantum Readiness Report

> QANplatform has a QRI score of 21/100 and is assessed at Stage 2 (Mitigation / Development) with medium evidence confidence.

Evaluation date: 2026-06-01. Review status: draft. Evaluated scope: QANplatform quantum-resistant L1 smart-contract platform, including the production ERC-20/BEP-20 QANX token (0xAAA9214F675316182Eaa21C85f0Ca99160CC3AAA on Ethereum and BSC) and the pre-production QAN TestNet. Native L1 mainnet has not launched as of the evaluation date..

QANplatform has a publicly documented quantum-resistant design centered on its XLINK cross-signer protocol, which binds ECDSA (secp256k1) keys to NIST-standardized ML-DSA-65 (CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FIPS 204) post-quantum keys. The XLINK library and QVM have been independently audited by Hacken (November 2025 and July 2025 respectively), with most findings resolved. However, as of 2026-06-01 the QAN L1 mainnet has not launched: the only production asset is the QANX ERC-20/BEP-20 token on Ethereum and BSC, secured entirely by classical ECDSA with no PQ protection. The core L1 protocol source code remains closed in a private GitLab, and a May 2026 strategic update announced a controlled architectural rebase onto Ethereum's official implementation, adding design uncertainty. The project earns strong credit for its NIST-aligned algorithm choice and audited PQ design (Category 5: 14.25/20) but receives minimal scores in production protection (0/35) and migration status (1.5/25) because no production PQ-secure system exists. Both the Stage 2 cap and the Readiness & Risk cap for testnet-only / production-ECC-only set the ceiling at 40, and the conservative factor score of 21 places the final QRI Score at 21/100.
