QoreChainthe quantum-secure, AI-native Layer 1 blockchain, today confirmed that its mainnet is operational. June 7, 2026alongside its Technical Token Generation (TGE) event. The launch follows the opening of QoreChain’s community presale on June 1 and the start of its validation program on May 31, providing builders, node operators and long-term holders a clear path to participate from genesis.
QoreChain is designed to solve a problem that the rest of the industry has yet to solve at the protocol level: the cryptography that secures every blockchain in production today relies on algorithms that large-scale quantum computers are expected to break. The main research institutes place this timetable between 2029 and 2034. The risk is already operational. Well-resourced actors are now harvesting encrypted data on-chain, intending to decrypt it once quantum capability arrives, a strategy the industry calls “Harvest now, decrypt later.” QoreChain is designed for the other side of this curve.
“You have a chance to launch a Genesis block, and we built QoreChain to make that chance count for the next twenty years, not the next quarter,” said Liviu Epurefounder, vice president and CTO of the QoreChain association. “Quantum-secure cryptography, protocol-level AI, and three virtual machines on a chain are not features we have built in. They are the foundation. The presale and validation program exists in such a way that the people who actually use and secure the network have a real stake in it from the first block.”
Five pillars, one network
QoreChain brings together a combination that no other Layer 1 offers today:
Safe from quantum since genesis. QoreChain applies post-quantum cryptography across the entire stack from the first block, using algorithms standardized by NIST for the post-quantum era: ML-DSA-87 (Dilithium-5) for signatures, ML-KEM-1024 (Kyber) for key wrapping, and SHAKE-256 for hashing. This is complete post-quantum cryptography, not a patch applied later.
Three VMs, one chain. EVM, CosmWasm and SVM share a single state and consensus layer. Solidity, Rust, and Solana developers all deploy natively, with migration-free integration. Write Solidity, ship to QoreChain.
Native AI, not built-in AI. QoreChain AI Services (QCAI) resides at the protocol layer in Fast, Balanced, and Advanced tiers. It evaluates fraudulent transactions, optimizes routing, adjusts consensus parameters, and transforms natural language into production smart contracts on 17 target blockchains via QoreChain Studio.
Cross-network validators with multi-stream revenue. A QoreChain validator produces blocks, operates bridge watchers on over 25 connected Layer 1 networks, and collects attestation fees on cross-network transfers. Approximately 60% of projected validator revenue at network maturity comes from these cross-network operations, a business model unique to QoreChain.
Swiss foundation, regulatory clarity. QoreChain is managed by the QoreChain Association, a Swiss non-profit organization registered in Rolle, Vaud (CHE-484.963.998), designed to comply rather than dodge.
Earn Money with Genesis: Lightweight Nodes, Validators, and Delegation
QoreChain is designed so that participation, not speculation, drives the network. Network fees are distributed among participants who secure and use the chain.
Lightweight nodes from 1000 QOR. QoreChain is one of the only Layer 1 networks to reward lightweight node operators directly from network fees. Operators run either the SX Server Daemon or the UX Web Dashboard on modest hardware and earn 3% of all gas fees allocated to lightweight nodes. This is one of the industry’s lowest barriers to earning network rewards.
Validators from 100,000 QOR. The validation program, which opened on May 31, allows operators to secure the network and earn multiple streams: 37% of all network gas fees from block production, cross-network attestation revenue on over 25 connected chains, and staking rewards with an estimated first year APY of 8-12% depending on participation.
Delegation of 10 QOR. Holders who prefer not to manage a node can delegate to any validator and earn staking rewards as well as a share of the 10% network gas fees allocated to stakers.
Community presale open now
The QoreChain community presale began on June 1 and will continue until June 14, 2026, providing early community members with an entry point before the mainnet delivers economic value.
| Pre-sale price | $0.02 per QOR |
| Pre-sale window | From June 1, 2026 (12:00 UTC) to June 14, 2026 (11:59 p.m. UTC) |
| Total allocation | 150,000,000 QOR (3.33% of total supply) |
| Minimum purchase | $50 USD |
| Maximum purchase | $10,000 per verified participant |
| TGE unlocking | 15% of the allowance, cash at TGE |
| Cliff | 30 days from the TGE |
| Linear acquisition | Remaining 85% over 6 months following the cliff |
| Payment accepted | USDC, USDT, ETH, BNB and bank transfer (USD/EUR/CHF) |
QOR has a fixed total supply of 4,500,000,000 tokens, with a launch market cap of $27 million and a fully diluted valuation of $90 million. The full economic model is published in the QoreChain Tokenomics article at
QoreChain has also signed listing agreements with major centralized exchanges. Registration details will be announced via separate channels in the weeks following the mainnet.

About QoreChain
QoreChain is a quantum-secure, AI-native Layer 1 blockchain sourced from the Cosmos SDK and designed for cross-chain interoperability across 25+ direct connections and 120+ networks via cross-chain protocols. The architecture combines the PRISM consensus engine (Policy-driven Reinforcement-learning for Intelligent State Machines) with post-quantum cryptography (ML-DSA-87, ML-KEM-1024, SHAKE-256) and a triple virtual machine execution environment (EVM, CosmWasm, SVM). The platform is designed for over 5,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality. QoreChain is operated by the QoreChain Association, a Swiss non-profit organization registered in Rolle, Vaud (CHE-484.963.998).
