BTQ Technologies Launches QSSN Proof-of-Concept with Danal, Korea's Mobile Payments Leader

Executive Summary

• BTQ Technologies and Danal have launched a live proof‑of‑concept (PoC) of BTQ’s Quantum‑Secure Stablecoin Settlement Network (QSSN) on Danal’s payment rails, marking the world’s first large‑scale trial of quantum‑secure stablecoin settlement.
• The PoC will evaluate QSSN’s post‑quantum security, programmable issuer controls (mint/burn, velocity limits, whitelist/blacklist), and real‑time compliance hooks while preserving existing consumer and merchant user experiences.
• The collaboration aligns with global regulatory and standards initiatives (QUINSA, U.S. PQFIF) and positions BTQ to demonstrate carrier‑grade performance of post‑quantum cryptography at national scale.

Key Details

• Scope of PoC: Deployment across select components of Danal’s payment infrastructure serving tens of millions of users in e‑commerce, gaming, digital content, and offline retail.
• Technology Highlights:
• Post‑quantum cryptography to mitigate “harvest‑now, decrypt‑later” risk.
• Issuer‑level programmable controls: mint/burn permissions, velocity limits, blacklist/whitelist rules.
• Real‑time compliance integration hooks for regulator‑friendly settlement.
• Strategic Rationale: Addresses urgent market demand for quantum‑secure settlement as regulators and payment networks move toward post‑quantum cryptography standards.
• Standardization Alignment: QSSN contributes to global standardization efforts (QUINSA, U.S. PQFIF) and is highlighted by the U.S. Post‑Quantum Financial Interoperability Framework (PQFIF).
• Partner Profile – Danal:
