DOCUMENT STATUS
This document is in: DRAFT status and needs additional input!
• POS explainer, including cryptography used and any special considerations to be highlighted.

Welcome to the Quantum Resistant Ledger Zond documentation! This is a work in progress and will be improved as we build project Zond. Ensure

### The QRL Mission​

Provide enterprise grade security to the blockchain space with the future quantum threat in mind. Instead of relying on the classical secure elliptical curve cryptography to secure signatures The QRL has deployed XMSS, a NIST-approved post-quantum secure digital signature scheme.

By utilizing this post-quantum secure signature scheme from genesis, we are able to provide advanced asset protection now, as well as the future.
