AntiQua has undergone two full external audit rounds:
NightShift Audit — 47 findings identified and remediated.
Draikoon Audit — 11 findings, all CRITICAL and HIGH resolved.
Production security decisions include: hard-abort on plaintext key handling, mempool RBF lockout, DNS eclipse fallback seeders, and mnemonic export PIN protection.
Bug bounty program incoming. Details to follow.
Total supply: 56,000,000 AQA — hard cap, no inflation post-emission.
Allocations include mining rewards, a humanitarian fund (Charity + Bug Bounty), and community reserves. No team pre-mine. No VC allocation. Fair launch.
ICO mechanism: wAQA on Polygon at $0.04–$0.057. Public ICO launches after testnet stabilization in Q4 2026.
AntiQua ships with seven built-in smart contract templates, all tested (257/257 passing) :
Custom contracts beyond these templates are on the roadmap. Discussion welcome.
AntiQua spans three repositories:
NodeCore (C++) — The full node. P2P networking, UTXO model, mempool, smart contract VM, RandomX PoW, ACRP chat layer.
Desktop Wallet (C# WPF) — Full-featured Windows wallet with transaction history, smart contract interaction, and encrypted ACRP messaging.
Android Wallet (Kotlin) — Mobile node + wallet. Runs a full AntiQua node on your phone.
All three are developed simultaneously. No forks. Every line written from scratch.
Bitcoin uses BIP-39 mnemonics backed by secp256k1 keys — fundamentally incompatible with post-quantum cryptography. AntiQua implements AIP-39, a custom mnemonic standard designed around ML-DSA-87 key material.
Your seed phrase on AntiQua is quantum-resistant from word one.
Current blockchains rely on ECDSA and SHA-256 — both vulnerable to Shor's algorithm on a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. AntiQua was designed from day one assuming that threat is not hypothetical, it's a matter of when.
Our cryptographic stack:
All NIST Level 5 — the highest standardized security level available.
Happy to go deep on any of these. Ask away.
As of March 31, 2026, the AntiQua testnet went live with four simultaneous nodes syncing correctly across Hetzner, home node, and two Android devices.
The full stack is operational:
Stay tuned.
Welcome to the official AntiQua community forum — the home base for everyone building, running, or simply curious about the world's first ground-up post-quantum blockchain.
AntiQua (AQA) is built from scratch — no forks, no shortcuts — implementing NIST Level 5 cryptography: ML-DSA-87, ML-KEM-1024, and SHAKE-256, secured by RandomX Proof of Work. 56,000,000 AQA total supply. Fair launch. No VC. No insider allocation.
This forum is your place to discuss the protocol, report bugs, follow development updates, and connect with the community.
