Splendor Labs has deployed the world's first live Layer-1 blockchain integrating native post-quantum cryptographic standards like ML-DSA and ML-KEM directly into its core architecture. This move establishes a critical infrastructure baseline for securing digital assets against future quantum computing threats, distinguishing it from retrofitting existing systems with patches later. The launch signals a strategic shift in decentralized finance toward proactive security as financial institutions accelerate real-world asset tokenization initiatives.
Splendor Labs launches blockchain built to withstand quantum attacks

Splendor Labs SA today announced the launch and live operation of Splendor Quantum Chain, a purpose-built Layer-1 blockchain designed around the security requirements of the next generation of digital systems. Splendor Quantum Chain is the world’s first live Layer-1 to combine native ML-DSA-65 signatures, ML-KEM-768 network security, dual ML-DSA/SLH-DSA verification, and RLNC-based resilient data transport within a single integrated post-quantum architecture.
Splendor Labs SA launched Splendor Quantum Chain on September 25, 2026, establishing the world’s first live Layer-1 blockchain integrating ML-DSA-65 signatures, ML-KEM-768 network security, dual ML-DSA/SLH-DSA verification, and RLNC-based data transport in a single post-quantum architecture. The new network anticipates the evolving…
