The Blockchain That
Survives the Quantum Era.
AithorChain is a Substrate-based Layer-1 blockchain secured by NIST post-quantum cryptography (ML-DSA-87, ML-KEM-768, Falcon-512) and Blake2-256 committed batch transfers, purpose-built for a world where quantum computers exist.
The Quantum Threat
Is Not Hypothetical.
Current blockchain cryptography will be broken by quantum computers.
The question is not if, it's when.
ECDSA & RSA at Risk
Most blockchains rely on elliptic-curve cryptography, which is provably breakable by Shor's algorithm on sufficiently large quantum computers.
Harvest Now, Decrypt Later
Adversaries are already collecting encrypted blockchain data today, waiting for quantum capability to decrypt it retroactively.
$67T+ at Stake
Global digital asset markets and financial infrastructure face catastrophic exposure as quantum hardware matures.
A New Foundation for
Quantum-Safe Infrastructure.
AithorChain is a Layer-1 blockchain built on the Substrate framework, combining NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptographic algorithms (ML-DSA-87, ML-KEM-768, Falcon-512) with Blake2-256 committed batch transfers. It is designed from the ground up to remain secure in a post-quantum world, with a protocol-level carbon fund that allocates 10% of all transaction fees.
Unlike retrofitted solutions, AithorChain's quantum resistance is baked into the protocol layer — from transaction signing to P2P networking to consensus block authoring.
Built Different. By Design.
Every mechanism engineered for long-term viability and quantum survival.
Post-Quantum Signatures
NIST FIPS 204 ML-DSA-87 (Dilithium5) replaces classical ECDSA/Ed25519 for all transaction signing. Account IDs derived via Blake2-256 hash of Dilithium public keys.
Quantum-Safe P2P Transport
Native Noise pqXX handshake via the Clatter framework with ML-KEM-768 key encapsulation. Protects block propagation, transaction sync, and consensus gossip on the actual connection.
Post-Quantum Consensus
Both Aura block authoring and GRANDPA block finality are upgraded to Falcon-512 (FN-DSA) keys with cryptographic domain separation, securing the entire consensus lifecycle against quantum attacks.
Public Batch Transfers
Up to 512 transparent transfers behind a single ML-DSA-87 signature (~4.6 KB). Each batch committed on-chain via rolling Blake2-256 hash chain with per-account nonce replay protection.
Substrate-Based Runtime
Built on Polkadot SDK with Aura (6s blocks) + GRANDPA (~12s deterministic finality). Forkless runtime upgrades, 10 MB max block size, 4s compute budget.
Carbon Fund by Design
10% of every transaction fee automatically routed to the Carbon Fund (ait/crbn). Accumulates from fees only — never pre-minted. Disbursement governed by Council 2/3 supermajority.
On-Chain Governance
Bicameral Council + Technical Committee with 2/3 supermajority for privileged operations. Epoch-based validator rewards every 100 blocks (~10 min). 80% fees to validators, 10% Treasury.
The Stack Under the Hood.
Every component chosen for security, performance, and long-term viability.

AIT Token: Fixed. Transparent. Fair.
Ecosystem economic model designed to incentivize security and offsets.
* Existential Deposit: 0.001 AIT. Testnet genesis accounts (Alice, Bob, Charlie, Dave) receive initial allocations per the canonical genesis spec. Founder allocation (200M AIT) vests over 30 months with a 6-month cliff. Full details in the official whitepaper. All distribution subject to regulatory compliance.
AIT-20: Launch Tokens on a Quantum-Safe Chain.
AithorChain's native token standard — like ERC-20 for Ethereum, but enforced at the protocol level and signed with post-quantum cryptography from day one.
Create
Launch a token in one call — name, symbol, decimals, initial supply, logo URL, and your supply policy. 100% of the initial supply is minted straight to you, the creator.
Mint
For mintable tokens, only the creator can expand supply — every mint is an on-chain event with the new total supply recorded transparently.
Burn
For burnable tokens, any holder can destroy their own balance. Supply contracts verifiably, with the updated total supply emitted on-chain.
Transfer
Standard asset transfers between Dilithium-derived accounts — every movement signed with ML-DSA-87 post-quantum signatures.
Choose Your Supply Policy
Set at creation, enforced on-chain. Pick the tokenomics your project needs.
Minted once at creation. Supply can never change — the Bitcoin-like guarantee for your token.
Creator-gated expansion for treasuries, rewards programs, and growing ecosystems.
Deflationary mechanics — holders or the creator can permanently remove supply.
50 AIT Creation Fee
A spam-proof launchpad: the fee flows straight back into the ecosystem — zero AIT is minted or burned to create a token.
Unique symbols, enforced on-chain. No ticker squatting, no impersonation tokens.
On-chain branding. Token logo and metadata live on-chain — wallets and explorers render them natively.
Quantum-safe by default. Every AIT-20 action is authorized by ML-DSA-87 signatures.
AIT-20 runs on the audited assets layer with protocol-level safeguards: zero-amount operations are rejected, creator indexes are bounded, and every state change emits a verifiable event for wallets and the explorer.
From Testnet to Global Infrastructure.
