Abelian: Future-Proof Security for Blockchain

With the rapid advancement of quantum computing, current encryption systems face unprecedented challenges. Quantum computers will soon have the capability to break existing encryption algorithms, posing significant threats to the security of traditional blockchain platforms. In the near future, quantum computing could effortlessly compromise account information on blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum, leading to forged transactions and asset theft. This trend could have profound implications for the blockchain industry, necessitating the urgent adoption of quantum-resistant blockchain architectures to protect data privacy and security.

Dr. Duncan Wong, co-founder of Abelian and cryptography expert, stated: “The progress of quantum computing will inevitably reshape the security foundation of blockchain. Only by adopting quantum-resistant technology can blockchain continue to ensure security and privacy protection in the future.” Abelian is dedicated to addressing this issue by building the world’s first blockchain platform truly resistant to quantum threats.

Quantum Threats: A Major Challenge for the Blockchain Industry

Traditional encryption algorithms such as RSA and ECDSA currently underpin blockchain security. However, they are vulnerable to quantum computing. With Google and IBM already achieving quantum computers with 53 and 65 qubits respectively, the continued development of quantum computing in the coming years could enable the decryption of these traditional algorithms. This advancement threatens to undermine trust in existing blockchains, questioning the legitimacy of transactions and accounts.

Abelian’s Quantum-Resistant Encryption Technology

To counter these quantum threats, Abelian employs lattice-based quantum-resistant encryption technologies, such as CRYSTALS-Dilithium and CRYSTALS-Kyber, which adhere to NIST standards. These algorithms have undergone rigorous testing and are recognised as some of the most effective solutions against quantum attacks. By integrating these post-quantum encryption schemes into its blockchain network, Abelian ensures that user assets remain secure and reliable even under quantum computing threats.

This robust encryption technology not only secures blockchain systems but also establishes a foundation for long-term stability. Even as quantum computing capabilities evolve, Abelian’s unique cryptographic solutions protect user data against quantum attacks.

Multi-Layer Privacy Protection: Meeting Diverse User Needs

Abelian’s privacy protection extends beyond quantum-resistant technologies, offering multi-layer privacy mechanisms to cater to different user requirements:

• Basic Privacy: Provides pseudonymous protection similar to Bitcoin, ensuring fundamental user privacy.
• Full Privacy: Utilizes ring signatures and commitment schemes to conceal transaction details, ensuring the confidentiality of both parties.
• Regulatory Privacy: Generates traceable keys to meet regulatory demands while preserving user privacy.

This flexible multi-layer privacy solution enhances user experience and adapts to varying global regulatory requirements, making Abelian’s blockchain system more versatile.

Zero-Knowledge Proof: A Dual Guarantee of Privacy and Security

Abelian further strengthens privacy protection with Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) technology. ZKP allows users to verify transactions without disclosing any sensitive information, ensuring complete confidentiality of transaction details and secure data transmission.

Dr. Duncan Wong emphasized: “Abelian’s Zero-Knowledge Proof technology not only meets user demands for privacy but also ensures transaction authenticity and reliability. In the face of quantum threats, we are committed to providing users with comprehensive security guarantees.”

Building for the Future: A Solid Foundation for Web3 and DeFi

Abelian is not just a pioneer in quantum resistance and privacy protection but also a dedicated enabler of secure and efficient infrastructure for Web3 and DeFi applications. Moving forward, Abelian plans to launch a Cosmos SDK-based Layer-2 network to support broader application scenarios, offering a flexible environment for developers and users. Moreover, Abelian will introduce EVM-compatible sidechains to enhance system scalability and interoperability, providing a reliable foundation for the future blockchain ecosystem.
