01 Quantum Announces Launching of $qONE token and the Quantum-Resistant Layer 1 Migration Toolkit by qLABS

Executive Summary

• 01 Quantum Inc. announced the launch of its $qONE ecosystem token and the Layer 1 Migration Toolkit, developed with qLABS, to provide quantum‑resistant security for blockchain networks.
• The $qONE token will be issued on the Hyperliquid exchange on February 6, 2026; the Migration Toolkit is slated for release by the end of March 2026.
• The toolkit offers a three‑phase framework (asset protection, architecture design, implementation) enabling blockchains such as Ethereum, Solana, and major stablecoins to transition to post‑quantum cryptography without hard forks or user disruption.

Key Details

• Token Issuance: $qONE token to be minted on Hyperliquid on 2026‑02‑06.
• Toolkit Availability: Layer 1 Migration Toolkit expected by end of March 2026.
• Technology Highlights:
• Incorporates 01 Quantum’s patented Quantum Crypto Wrapper (QCW) and Quantum DeFi Wrapper (QDW).
• Features a “PQC Circuit Breaker” that blends post‑quantum cryptography with zero‑knowledge proofs for on‑chain efficiency and scalability.
• Phased Migration Framework:
  1. Immediate Asset Protection – Quantum‑Sig smart‑contract wallet technology secures assets pre‑migration.
  2. Post‑Quantum Architecture Design – Aligns cryptographic performance with validators, developers, and ecosystem constraints.
  3. Implementation & Activation – Integrates PQC with zero‑knowledge proofs; includes testing, audits, and coordinated rollout.
• Ecosystem Utility: $qONE token powers the qONE Security Protocol, enabling quantum‑safe transaction verification, Quantum‑Sig wallet functionality, and incentive alignment for developers, validators, and users.
• Strategic Collaboration: Developed in partnership with qLABS, a crypto foundation focused on securing digital assets against future quantum threats.
• Leadership Comments:
• Andrew Cheung (CEO of 01 Quantum & CTO of qLABS) highlighted the systemic risk posed by quantum computing and positioned the toolkit as a realistic path to Q‑Day readiness.
• Antanas Guoga (President of qLABS) emphasized the combination of enterprise‑grade post‑quantum security with Web3 deployment.

Notable Quotes

• “Quantum computing poses a systemic risk to today's blockchain security model,” said Andrew Cheung, CEO of 01 Quantum and CTO of qLABS.
• “By combining enterprise‑grade post‑quantum security with Web3‑native deployment, we are enabling quantum safety where liquidity and users already exist,” said Antanas Guoga (Tony G), President of qLABS.
