Quantum Resistant Ledger QRL

Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) is a cryptocurrency project that aims to address the potential threat that quantum computing poses to cryptocurrencies. It is designed to be a future-proof, post-quantum value store and decentralized communication layer. QRL utilizes provably secure, peer-reviewed XMSS (eXtended Merkle Signature Scheme) instead of the traditional ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) for enhanced security. It also includes features such as a web wallet and desktop applications for easy usability.

The Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) is unique compared to other cryptocurrencies because it is specifically designed to address the threat that quantum computing poses to traditional cryptographic systems. QRL utilizes provably secure, peer-reviewed XMSS (vs 256 ECDSA) for its value store and decentralized communication layer. This makes it resistant to attacks from powerful quantum computers that could potentially break traditional cryptographic algorithms. Additionally, QRL aims to provide a user-friendly experience with features such as a web wallet and desktop applications.
