Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) is the only live L1 blockchain with full post-quantum cryptography since 2018.
1. Technological barrier: uses XMSS (hash-based, NIST-approved), resistant to Shor and Grover quantum attacks today. BTC, ETH, SOL, and almost all others are at risk in 5-15 years.
2. Maximum supply is fixed at 105 million (same as BTC - 21 million). About 80 million have already been mined, emission tail until 2140, inflation falls to ‹0.2% by 2030.
3. Low market capitalization with high uniqueness: ~$110-130 million (price ~$2.1 million), making the project one of the most undervalued in the quantum security segment.
4. Active development 2025-2026:
* Launch of EVM-compatible L2 (QRL-EVM) in Q1 2026 – will allow DeFi applications to migrate without changing the cryptography.
* Partnerships with governments and enterprises (UK, Switzerland) for long-term value storage.
* Integration into Ledger cold wallets (native support from 2024).
5. Historical performance in the bear market: in 2022-2024, it fell 12-15 times weaker than most altcoins, proving itself to be "digital gold 2.0" for long-term holders. 6. In short: QRL is portfolio insurance against the day when quantum computers break ECDSA. At the current price, it's one of the most asymmetric bets in crypto.
In short: QRL now, in December 2025, is like Bitcoin in 2009!
