Krown Technologies, Inc. reported that the Krown Blockchain, described as the first blockchain built with native quantum security, has officially entered TestNET. The company positioned this development as a major advancement in next-generation distributed ledger technology, signaling a key step toward a full MainNET launch scheduled for January 3, 2026. On that date, Krown expects to activate not only the blockchain itself but also KrownDEX, KrownExplorer, significant upgrades to the Qastle Wallet, and the release of the network’s native digital asset, the KROWN Coin.
The company, which has focused on building a blockchain ecosystem designed for the post-quantum era, explained that its technology is engineered with multi-layer post-quantum cryptography, true entropy security, and an enterprise-ready architecture. Its suite of products includes the Krown Blockchain, KrownDEX decentralized exchange, Qastle Wallet, KrownExplorer, the Excalibur Cold Wallet, and a range of utilities designed for both business and consumer use cases. This platform is being positioned as a redefinition of blockchain security standards.
A Blockchain Built for the Post-Quantum Future
Krown Technologies emphasized that, unlike many existing blockchains attempting to add quantum protection after launch, Krown was designed from the beginning to withstand future quantum computing threats. The network incorporates post-quantum cryptographic layers, multiple encryption frameworks, and authentication protocols built to remain secure even as quantum computing advances.
According to the company, this design provides advantages that include quantum-resistant validation, quantum-secure transaction processing, secure decentralized identity services, high-entropy key creation, quantum-safe interoperability across chains, and compliance-level architecture suitable for institutional adoption.
The move into TestNET demonstrated that these capabilities are now operational, and the platform is ready for broader developer engagement.
Global Testing Phase Begins
With the TestNET live, Krown Technologies opened participation to validators, developers, auditors, and ecosystem collaborators worldwide. The testing phase is expected to focus on stress-testing the system and ensuring full compatibility with the chain’s quantum-secure infrastructure.

The TestNET environment now supports validator trials, staking simulations, and reward modeling. Quantum-secure signature verification and system throughput are also being evaluated. Developers can deploy smart contracts built around post-quantum cryptography, while testing is underway for KrownDEX routing and liquidity analytics. The KrownExplorer tool is now active for block and transaction monitoring, and the Qastle Wallet is undergoing extended compatibility testing powered by the QRNG2 entropy engine.
The company characterized this stage as the final refinement phase before the MainNET debut.
A Coordinated Rollout for January 2026
Krown’s MainNET launch is planned as a synchronized global activation featuring multiple core products. The main Layer-1 blockchain will introduce a quantum-secured, energy-efficient foundation intended for long-term resilience. KrownDEX is expected to become the first decentralized exchange built with quantum security embedded at the core, initially supporting assets such as KROWN, BTC, ETH, USDC, and USDT alongside institutional liquidity partners.
KrownExplorer will provide real-time insights into network activity, while the Qastle Wallet will receive major enhancements in security, usability, and asset support. The $KROWN Coin will serve as the native currency across the ecosystem, enabling staking, governance, payments, utility functions, and cross-chain liquidity.
Leadership at Krown Technologies described the TestNET launch as the beginning of a new stage in secure blockchain development, suggesting that the push toward quantum-resilient infrastructure was a necessary step for the industry’s future. Executives also indicated that integrating quantum random number generation technology from Quantum eMotion Corp. strengthens the platform’s security foundation and prepares it for real-world adoption.
