- Obtaining ABEL test coins and experiencing the test ABEL staking service
About QDAY
QDAY is the first EVM-compatible post-quantum layer-2 network, built on the pioneering quantum-secure Abelian blockchain (Layer 1). By leveraging the quantum-secure algorithms already running on the Abelian chain, QDAY enhances the security measures of EVM chains to an unprecedented level. As a layer-2 solution, it sits atop the ABEL blockchain, inheriting its quantum-resistant capabilities while further providing EVM support, thereby enabling quantum-resistant smart contract deployment and significantly expanding the post-quantum blockchain application ecosystem.
QDAY innovatively adopts a hybrid PoS-over-PoW consensus mechanism, combining the strong security of Proof of Work (PoW) with the energy efficiency and scalability of Proof of Stake (PoS). This approach utilizes the computational difficulty of PoW to provide robust foundational security and introduces a PoS layer to optimize transaction verification and throughput. By integrating PoS over PoW, QDAY achieves a balance between security and energy efficiency. The PoW foundation ensures high security through computationally intensive mining, while the PoS layer significantly reduces energy consumption and improves transaction processing efficiency. This dual-layer approach mitigates risks common in pure PoS systems, such as centralization and reduced security.
QDAY’s layered architecture allows for continuous scalability improvements. The PoS layer enhances throughput and transaction efficiency, while the modular design facilitates easy upgrades and integration of new technologies. This ensures that QDAY can adapt and scale to meet the growing demands of the network. QDAY’s economic model provides balanced incentives for validator nodes and the community, promoting active participation and network security. By rewarding a broad base of participants, QDAY enhances decentralization and resilience, reducing the risks of centralization common in pure PoS systems.
Issuing stablecoins on QDAY offers multiple significant advantages. QDAY combines quantum security and EVM compatibility, ensuring that stablecoins are resistant to future quantum computing threats while leveraging existing Ethereum tools and ecosystems for development and management. Additionally, QDAY’s hybrid PoS-over-PoW consensus mechanism ensures high security at the base layer, while the PoS layer optimizes transaction verification speed and energy consumption, ensuring cost-effective transaction processing for stablecoins. QDAY’s layered architecture and modular design allow for continuous scalability improvements, meeting the growing market demand, and enhancing fairness and transparency in transactions through a decentralized network. QDAY’s forward-looking design ensures it can adapt to future technological changes, driving the application and adoption of blockchain technology, and laying a solid foundation for the future of digital finance.
By combining the technical advantages of a two-layer blockchain, QDAY not only addresses some of the core challenges faced by current blockchains, such as security, scalability, and energy efficiency but also presents a future-oriented PoS-over-PoW model that can adapt to upcoming technological changes, particularly the development of quantum computing. QDAY’s design philosophy embodies a forward-thinking approach, ensuring it remains at the forefront even in the face of future technological advancements. We recognize that achieving this vision is not a solitary effort but requires the collective wisdom and collaboration of a global community. Through open collaboration and innovation, we believe QDAY will push the boundaries of blockchain technology, laying the foundation for a more secure, efficient, and sustainable digital future. We look forward to exploring the limitless possibilities of this emerging technology with global partners, developers, and innovators and shaping the future of blockchain together.
