ONE · Price

Executive Summary

  • 01 Quantum Inc. announced the successful $qONE Token Generation Event (TGE) on HyperEVM, with the token now trading live on the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange.
  • The launch establishes the on‑chain economic framework for the upcoming qONE Security Protocol and paves the way for integration of quantum‑resistant technologies (QCW, QDW, IronCAP™).
  • The partnership with qLABS outlines a phased deployment strategy aimed at delivering post‑quantum security solutions to enterprise and government customers.

Key Details

  • $qONE token launched via TGE on HyperEVM; trading now available on Hyperliquid DEX (https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/trade).
  • Token serves as the foundational economic layer for the qONE Security Protocol, enabling future activation of quantum lock‑unlock mechanisms.
  • Phase 1: Token launch and protocol foundation completed.
  • Phase 2: Planned integration of a quantum circuit breaker using IronCAP™ (NIST‑aligned cryptographic engine) combined with zero‑knowledge proofs.
  • Phase 3: Expansion to quantum‑resistant authorization for wallets, assets, and protocol‑level transactions.
  • Antanas Guoga (Tony G), President of qLABS, highlighted the token’s role in pre‑emptive Web3 security against quantum threats.
  • Andrew Cheung, CEO of 01 Quantum, emphasized that the TGE is the starting point for scalable Q‑Day threat protection without hard forks or L1 modifications.
  • 01 Quantum’s IronCAP™ technology is protected by U.S. patents #11,271,715 and #11,669,833.
