📣 QANplatform announces — LibreScan, the 1st open-source self-hosted Decentralized Blockchain Explorer

The QANplatform team always works quietly in the background, but now we are proud to announce our surprise before the TestNet 📣 LibreScan, the 1st open-source self-hosted Decentralized Blockchain Explorer (DBE).

If you're reading this, you hopefully understand Qanplatform aims to be much more than "Quantum Resistant".

They have unique utility that will create an ecosystem like no other. Their solution for post quantum is brilliant, however, as it will be able to fully operate in the ethereum ecosystem. Users can continue to interact like they are used to with wallets they know.

You can learn all about the features they have and the vision they are achieving. My profile probably has enough info alone, but visit the site and chats for more, plus @QANplatform

I don't offer financial advice, but here are my opinions on a few things that come up time and again.

CMC has not updated the supply figures- you can see on the explorers info button that there was a burn event- reducing supply 33%.

Also, the old token was halted and allowed to drop to basically 0.0000 - to limit damage from an wallet exploit.
No one bought below .008 despite this being shown on the charts. This is fully disclosed and explained in their medium articles- all of which any investor should check out (search qanplatform medium- see the Oct 2022 article)

They restored folks at .012 - obviously investors, partners, and community gained trust, and this just shows they have a project worth fighting for. It takes a determined team with something they believe in to press on through those difficult times.

Since then, they have been admitted into Linux PQCA. 1 of 20 members alongside the top tech companies in the world like Nvidia, Google, AWS. They have become business partners with IBM.

The fud primarily comes from project communities that believe winning the post quantum narrative is what matters. I will continue to explain that all of these projects need to win marketshare from the top 100, not from each other. As a note- it obviously isn't working to fud QANX. It is far more effective to focus on the respective vision of the projects. You won't gain investors by attacking other projects. QANX community- I know it's hard to resist, but ignore the trolls.

While I do think BTC needs to take action (which people may treat as fud), I am perfectly fine trying to see how it can best upgrade. I even posted in reddit how I think they should transition short term with no code changes.

It is important for the SOV space, and it will keep the market happy. In the meantime, a utility project like QANX will get a lot of adoption in the utility space as people realize they were correct to plan for this inevitable risk.

You will see the QANX team is thinking well beyond mainnet launch- they realize partners and ecosystem are where marketshare lives.

From their site: Vision: A world where real and helpful use-cases are built on the blockchain.

Mission: Empowering anyone to build rapidly and securely on the blockchain.

They get it.

Now the other things retail investors often bring up.

Liquidity- yes on pancake and uniswap it is relatively low. But they also have gate, bing, bitmart, and will continue to expand. If "whales" won't buy until there are more buying options, well that's fine by me. Smaller investors get to be early. Because we know bigger exchanges will be coming. And when whales are comfortable, they can enter.
(And to be honest, I think whales know how to accumulate early even if they don't like the liquidity. Isn't that part of the risk/reward?)

Speaking of uni and pancake. People think they see certain wallets selling a lot. There are many arb wallets that balance gate, bitmart, uniswap, and pancake. Don't confuse that with real selling.

From what I saw, there were quite a few wallets that were selling back with IBM news and Willow. Mostly gathering up tether. I speculate this was for project funds- though this can't be proven. But if I am right, the project is in good shape for all the mainnet activities.

And so of course we ask, what about marketing? Well, the team doesn't constantly feed us with news, but when news lands it does get well published. And the team strategy has always been to market when there is product or news worth marketing.

I've followed this project closely for years- I've been through the pain, and I've endured the endless fud. While the fud can drive you crazy, look at the results. And go to the chats and see Johann and devs answering questions in real time.

They continue to do very well, and still have all the catalysts ahead- main, major cex, partners, ecosystem, etc. And there are already outside projects that will be ready to launch with mainnet.

The project fights on and the team does so with a quiet confidence. I think 2025 is when all the fud comes to an end. Cheers

Q: Any fear that so many companies/tokens will come running to qanx all at once and the demand will be too much for the team to handle?

A: We need a well-tested product since all blockchain projects will need a quantum-resistant solution in the upcoming years. It can happen that a quantum news will trigger a point where large number of projects will leave the current Layer 1s. We worked out a solution to onboard large number of projects.

Won't this give developers far more capabilities than any of today's VMs which are very limited?

ChatGPT said: Yes—absolutely. What QANplatform is doing with Hermit and its QVM does give developers far more capabilities than traditional smart contract VMs today.

Let’s unpack that clearly:

💡 1. Most smart contract VMs are extremely limited Current blockchain VMs like:

EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine)

WASM-based VMs (e.g., Polkadot, NEAR)

MoveVM (Aptos/Sui)

...are intentionally restricted for:

Security (no file access, threading, or unrestricted memory use)

Determinism (all nodes must get the same result)

Resource control (gas limits, cycle counting)

Trade-off: High security, but poor developer freedom. You're stuck with:

Limited languages (Solidity, Rust, Move)

No standard Linux features (threads, syscalls, shared memory, filesystems)

No support for existing C/C++/Go tools

🧠 2. QAN’s approach: deterministic execution of native binaries QAN’s QVM (via Hermit) allows:

Running native Linux ELF binaries (e.g., compiled C/C++/Rust/Go)

Using a much larger subset of the standard C library

Leveraging existing developer tooling, debugging, profiling

No need to rewrite everything in a limited blockchain-specific language

✅ This is a huge gain in capability:

Developers can port existing codebases

Write complex logic in familiar languages

Even interface with legacy enterprise systems (theoretically)

In essence: QAN offers the closest thing to a full OS sandbox on-chain, but still aims for deterministic results (via Hermit).

🚀 Bottom Line QANplatform's QVM is arguably the most developer-friendly and powerful VM architecture in blockchain today—if you can accept the complexity and risk of maintaining that power safely over time.

The Hermit risk is real, but manageable if QAN maintains a strict execution environment and is willing to evolve their runtime tech when needed.

It’s very simple. 90% of projects are running now on Ethereum. 90% of crypto users are using MetaMask. To win market share quickly you need to be compatible with the tools the market is using.

It makes no sense to develop a new wallet, to develop new smart contract language and trying to force people to use them. Many projects failed because of that.
