Remember the times when projects generously rewarded active users? When you could solve captchas for bitcoins? Those golden times seem like a distant past.

Now there are tons of trendy blockchains solving technical problems, but missing the main point - what's the benefit for regular users? Users farm points hoping for drops, lock funds in networks, execute transactions, and then teams set criteria favoring their own farms. Same story with nodes - people invest time and resources, get crumbs or nothing at all. More and more people feel disappointed in crypto.

I'm building Quantum Network (QNET) - a blockchain with fair reward system for all participants. The system doesn't work on outdated PoW or PoS models. No hash rate races and no need to freeze huge sums.

The reward system is based on pings - each node gets equal share regardless of computing power or capital. Light node on mobile phone gets the same reward share as Full node or Super node on servers. QNET has no premine. None at all. Everyone starts on absolutely equal terms from the first block. Reward pools are distributed evenly among all network participants.

500k lines of code written in 6 months: Core/Crypto (~250k), UI/Mobile (~200k), Smart Contracts (~50k). All code will be fully open source. No secrets.

Node activation requires only 1500 coins. At different market caps: $1M = $1.5, $10M = $15, $100M = $150, $1B = $1500. But with every 10% of burned supply, activation price drops by 10%. 1500→1350→1200→...→150. The longer the network exists, the cheaper the entry barrier.

Two-phase launch model. First phase starts with token launch on Pump fun - goal is to attract many enthusiasts to the project and get free marketing. When 90% of coins are burned OR 5 years after genesis block, system transitions to second phase with native network token activation.

Planning to buy back 25% of supply: 10% will stay liquid for ensuring listings, 15% goes to 2-year vesting. This protects from snipers and ensures long-term stability and potential token burn in the future.

Goal is to make the blockchain open and transfer control to community via DAO. But first the system must work flawlessly, then full decentralization. MVP isn't finished yet due to lack of funds - the only reason I'm launching the token now, not after blockchain readiness.

Why am I doing this? Three reasons: prove to myself that an ordinary person can create incredible things. Show how projects ignore user contributions, depriving them of rewards for loyalty - want to change this. Prove that creating modern blockchain doesn't require hundreds of millions of dollars.

This is a manifesto of an independent developer. In the age of AI and open tools, one can create world-class projects. Witness an experiment that could change the approach to blockchain development. This is not financial advice, but a story about how I'm trying to bring fairness back to crypto. DYOR. But if the idea resonates - welcome to the journey towards honest blockchain.

This is a marathon, not a sprint. The 1DEV token will be used to activate mobile and server nodes. Node activation happens through burning 1DEV tokens. 1DEV will remain relevant for 5 years from mainnet launch. Network access and mining will be available ONLY through this token. After 5 years or when 90% of 1DEV tokens are burned, the system automatically transitions to Phase 2 and becomes independent from Solana. At that point, activation will only be possible using native QNC network tokens.

Do you realize we've already made history as the FIRST blockchain project launched through pump.fun? We'll forever remain the legends!
Trust me, I know how insane it sounds to launch a blockchain through pump.fun. But it's exactly these crazy ideas combined with relentless determination that create phenomenal results.
I understand the skepticism. Users on pump.fun and in the crypto space have seen it all. It's hard to believe in a project that's still in development. But the facts are stubborn:

Invested over $4,000 of my own money on servers and coding since March
Written over 500,000 lines of code
Browser extension is almost ready
Mobile versions with mining functionality coming next

I'm thrilled to build this project together with you and I'm going all the way to the end. We're creating something special - a revolution of fairness in crypto.
Together, we can achieve the impossible!

Key architectural updates have been implemented, moving the project significantly forward. The network logic still requires refinement due to the system's complexity. Each new commit brings us closer to the goal, and the final solution is taking clear shape.
Currently working through the most challenging phase of development. The network stability issues are complex and will take time to resolve completely. Actively working to resolve these challenges while maintaining sustainable development pace. Once these core problems are solved, the testing phases can begin:
Phase One: Node activation through browser extension with real 1DEV token burning (on testnet)
Phase Two: Comprehensive mobile application testing
Final Phase: Production-ready blockchain with complete ecosystem
Development continues with steady progress toward implementing the features this project was designed for. Soon users will be able to activate nodes themselves and become part of the QNET network!

Technical Blockchain Overview

Processing Speed QNET demonstrates 424,411 transactions per second in tests - that's 14,000x faster than Ethereum (30 TPS), 6.5x faster than Solana (65,000 TPS), 17.7x faster than Visa (~24,000 TPS), and 60,630x faster than Bitcoin (7 TPS). This is achieved through microblocks every second + macroblocks every 90 seconds for final confirmation.

Quantum Computer Protection Most modern blockchains use cryptography that may be vulnerable to future quantum computers. QNET implements quantum-resistant algorithms CRYSTALS-Dilithium + hybrid protection with Ed25519 for compatibility.

Revolutionary P2P Architecture Instead of simple gossip protocol, QNET uses regional clustering (North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania) + DHT routing (distributed hash table for efficient node discovery). The system automatically enables sharding (splitting network into smaller parts) when growing to 10K+ nodes and lock-free structures (concurrent data access without blocking) at 100K+ nodes.

Commit-Reveal Consensus Unique two-phase mechanism: first validators send encrypted votes, then reveal them. This prevents vote manipulation and last-minute changes - no other blockchain does this.

Mobile Revolution QNET runs on smartphones with 2GB memory, showing 8,859 TPS on mobile devices while consuming less than 0.01% battery per hour. Most blockchains only support mobile wallets, QNET first implements full light-nodes with equal rewards.

Accessible Participation Ethereum requires locking $100,000+ for consensus participation. QNET uses a reputation system and requires only 1,500 1DEV tokens (currently ~11 cents) for unlimited mining participation.

Efficient Storage Zstd compression + column families in RocksDB (organized database storage for different data types) + distributed chunk storage. Nodes store only 3-8 fragments instead of full history, dramatically reducing space requirements.

Parallel Processing ParallelValidator with multiple threads (simultaneous processing cores) + DashMap for lock-free operations + batch processing up to 5,000 transactions simultaneously - this optimization stack hasn't been implemented by anyone else yet.

Status: Experimental All metrics from controlled tests, real production environment will show true performance. Code is open source on GitHub for study and verification.

If the technology proves viable - this opens instant micropayments and mass blockchain adoption without technical barriers.

Significant progress in network consensus: managed to launch a test network of 5 nodes that processed 10,000 microblocks over 9 hours of continuous operation. This confirms the correctness of the basic consensus logic.
The identified long-term stability issue has been found and resolved through log analysis. Will run additional network tests soon to confirm the stability of the fixes.
The fact of processing 10K blocks shows that QNET's architectural core works according to specification. Continuing debugging to ensure reliable operation before moving to the next development stages.

QNET: Post-Quantum Decentralized Network

Phase 1: 1DEV Token
Built on Solana as SPL token. Users burn 1DEV to activate nodes in upcoming QNET blockchain. Current cost: 1,500 1DEV (~13cents) for unlimited mining access. Price decreases as more supply burns - creating deflationary economics.

Phase 2: QNC Native Token
Triggers when 90% of 1DEV burned OR after 5 years from genesis. QNC (QNET COIN) becomes native currency with 4,294,967,296 max supply (2^32). Features unique "Sharp Drop" halving - rewards halve every 4 years, then drop 10x at year 20, then resume halving.

Three Reward Pools:
Pool #1: Base emission (starts 251,432 QNC per 4h, halves every 4 years)
Pool #2: Transaction fees (70% to server super nodes, 30% to full nodes)
Pool #3: Node activation fees redistributed to ALL active participants (Phase 2 only)

No Staking Required
Uses reputation system instead of locking tokens. Mobile light-nodes get equal rewards as servers. Participation based on reliable behavior, not capital.

Key Innovation:
Phase 1: 1DEV tokens are burned for node activation. Phase 2: node activation requires QNC payment to Pool #3. Both phases designed for fair distribution without traditional venture capital funding or premine.

This experimental approach proves independent developers can create advanced blockchain technology using modern AI tools.

Critical Network Stability
Improvements Implemented entropy-based block producer selection using previous block hash. New microblock producer chosen every 30 seconds (microblocks aggregate into macroblocks every 90 seconds) - impossible to predict or manipulate the sequence.
Added snapshot system with LZ4 compression every 1,000 blocks. New nodes sync in minutes instead of hours. Automatic cleanup of old snapshots saves storage space.
Implemented deadlock protection with automatic recovery through timeouts and health monitoring. Nodes self-recover from any state without manual intervention.
Parallel synchronization through 4 workers accelerates block downloads 4-10x. Catching up 50,000 blocks takes 8 minutes instead of an hour.
Removed dependencies on centralized IPFS gateways. Snapshots distribute through P2P without single point of failure.
