Pre-testnet development preview
Public network, benchmarks and independent audit not yet available.
StatusUnderstand the project in minutes; drill into records for hours. Built for technical partners, researchers, and enterprise architects — not marketing claims.

Zeqron is a post-quantum Layer 1 under active development: BlockDAG consensus (Mysticeti PQ adaptation), QronMerit-weighted quorums (RFC-QRONMERIT-001), QronMesh execution zones, and ML-DSA-87 / ML-KEM-1024 (NIST security category 5 parameter sets) with SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s on the cold path (category 1).
Architecture D uses an uncertified DAG: hot-path vertices do not require individual quorum certificates before contributing to commit decisions (Mysticeti-style). Zones via QronMesh; ZAXON is an agent layer, not consensus.
Suite registry with maturity grids. QronHandshake is protocol-native P2P session crypto under validation — not marketed as a TLS replacement without audit.
Internal crates and private preview tooling. No public network telemetry on this portal.
Methodology and planned metrics only — no public TPS claims until reproducible artifacts ship.
Independent audit planned; QronHandshake external audit planned. Nothing on this portal is audit evidence.
Authoritative RFCs and crates live in the development monorepo. Portal summarizes; full specs are not republished here yet.
Proposed Foundation and bicameral design under review — no live public voting. Slashing targets objectively verifiable protocol violations only.
Access is not a public waitlist. Use status and paths for current entry points.
