TechFlow News, May 5: According to a Wall Street Journal report, algorithm development company MicroAlgo Inc. announced the launch of a quantum-based blockchain architecture. By integrating cyclic Quantum-Secure Channels (QSC) and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), the architecture aims to enhance transaction security and transparency.
The architecture features a four-layer design: a quantum communication layer, a blockchain core layer, a smart contract layer, and an application layer. QKD enables highly secure key generation and distribution, while quantum encryption safeguards transaction data against theft and tampering—offering resistance to attacks from quantum computers.
In addition, the system strengthens long-term security through periodic key rotation and quantum signature mechanisms. Combined with a distributed ledger and consensus mechanisms, it ensures data immutability and transaction verifiability—achieving a balance between security and transparency.
Nonetheless, the company notes that quantum technology still faces challenges in terms of maturity and commercialization, and widespread deployment will require more time.
