QANplatform, a layer-1 blockchain compatible with Ethereum’s EVM standard that says it’s quantum resistant, has signed a $15 million investment contract with MBK Holding, whose founder and chairman is Qatari Sheikh Mansoor Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, prior to its highly anticipated testnet launch, according to a press release. The blockchain uses “NIST Primary recommended post-quantum algorithm,” according to the release. “One of the unique features of QANplatform, besides rapid cloud deployment or quantum-resistant security, is its ability to support smart contracts in any programming language. The QAN Virtual Machine (QVM) allows developers to write smart contracts in any Linux-Kernel-compatible programming language (like: JavaScript, Java, Python, TypeScript, C, C++, C#, etc.).”
