(TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF) (\"01 Quantum\" or the \"Company\"), one of the first-to-market, enterprise level cybersecurity providers for the quantum computing era, today announced the launch of $qONE token and the Layer 1 Migration Toolkit, developed in collaboration with qLABS, a crypto foundation focused on securing digital assets against future quantum computing threats.In conjunction with the $qONE token launch, qLABS confirmed the full rollout schedule for both the $qONE ecosystem token and the Layer 1 Migration Toolkit: February 06, 2026 - $qONE token issuance on HyperliquidEnd of March, 2026 - Layer 1 Migration Toolkit availabilityAddressing the Quantum Threat to BlockchainsMost blockchain networks today rely on classical cryptographic algorithms such as ECDSA, which are expected to become vulnerable once sufficiently powerful quantum computers emerge, a milestone often referred to as Q-Day. While post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) algorithms have now been standardized by NIST, upgrading existing Layer 1 blockchains remains a significant engineering and governance challenge.The Layer 1 Migration Toolkit addresses this gap by providing a phased, production-ready framework that enables smart-contract-based blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, and major stablecoins, to transition toward quantum-resistant security without disrupting existing infrastructure.The toolkit builds on 01 Quantum's patented and patent-pending technologies, including its Quantum Crypto Wrapper (QCW) and Quantum DeFi Wrapper (QDW) with a \"PQC Circuit Breaker\", combining post-quantum cryptography with zero-knowledge proofs to maintain on-chain efficiency, scalability, and compatibility.A Phased Migration FrameworkThe Layer 1 Migration Toolkit introduces a three-phase approach to quantum-safe upgrades:Immediate asset protection through Quantum-Sig smart contract wallet technology, enabling users to secure assets before full chain-level migrationPost-quantum architecture design, aligning cryptographic performance requirements with validators, developers, and ecosystem ...
