What is Abelian?
Overview
Abelian is a Layer 1 blockchain system designed to be both quantum-resistant and privacy-preserving. It enables users to transact with full privacy, privacy with accountability, or pseudonymous privacy. The project claims to be the first blockchain system with mathematically proven security and privacy guarantees reduced to established quantum-resistant hard problems.
How it works
Abelian operates as a Proof of Work blockchain using lattice-based post-quantum cryptographic primitives. Its cryptographic systems are based on CRYSTALS-Dilithium and Kyber, both selected by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology in its first batch of post-quantum cryptographic standards. The project plans to migrate from PoW to Proof of Stake by the end of 2024.
Token and supply
ABEL is the native asset of the Abelian blockchain, serving as a store of value and for transaction fees. Total supply is 225.2 million ABEL with no maximum supply listed. The token is used for gas fees on the network.
Team and history
The Abelian genesis block was created on April 17, 2022. The project planned to open-source its codebase by the end of 2023.
