After 74 Days of Post-Quantum Blocks in Production, QoreChain's QOR Begins Trading on MEXC August 20

After 74 days of implementing a complete NIST-standardized post-quantum stack, QoreChain's native token QOR started trading on the MEXC exchange on August 20, 2026, at 13:00 UTC. The milestone transaction, which moved through the blockchain exclusively signed with ML-DSA-87, ML-KEM-1024, and SHAKE-256, is recorded at transaction hash 4E49D57F86FEC8851CDC34811B4C80FDB24F4C253ABE15D25C05B7A27F2B7F1F.

This transaction demonstrated that QoreChain has successfully secured its blockchain end-to-end with the full post-quantum stack, moving away from the industry's habit of only writing quantum resistance into roadmaps. The QOR/USDT pair became available on MEXC with withdrawals starting on August 21, 2026, at 13:00 UTC. QoreChain's architecture is unique in that it runs three execution environments—EVM, CosmWasm, and SVM—against one state layer and one consensus layer, eliminating the need for bridges between environments.

This results in deterministic one-block finality, a throughput of 5,000 or more transactions per second, and a finality time of approximately five seconds on the mainnet.
