01 Communique and qLABS to Bring Quantum-Resistant Infrastructure to Leading Blockchains

Rhea-AI Summary

01 Communique (OTCQB: OONEF) and newly formed crypto foundation qLABS have announced a strategic partnership to develop quantum-resistant infrastructure for leading blockchain networks. The initiative aims to protect Web3 from future quantum computing threats.

Led by blockchain advocate Antanas Guoga (Tony G) and Executive Director Ada Jonuse, qLABS will integrate 01's patent-pending post-quantum cryptographic technology (US #63/832787) into existing blockchain infrastructure. The foundation plans to launch its first product, a quantum-safe wallet, in Q1 2026.

Unlike competitors building new Layer 1 blockchains, qLABS focuses on implementing quantum-resistant solutions for established networks like Hyperliquid, Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin. The project will develop quantum-resistant wallets, wrapped tokens, and stablecoin infrastructure.

Positive

• Integration of patent-pending post-quantum cryptographic technology into existing blockchain infrastructure
• Strategic approach focusing on established blockchains rather than building new networks from scratch
• Clear product roadmap with first quantum-safe wallet launching in Q1 2026
• Leadership includes experienced blockchain advocate Tony G and Web3 entrepreneur Ada Jonuse

Negative

• Product launch timeline extends to Q1 2026, leaving current systems vulnerable to quantum threats
• Success depends on adoption by major blockchain networks and communities

In alliance with 01 Communique and Antanas Guoga (Tony G), the foundation integrates post-quantum security across the crypto stack

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 10, 2025) - In a major step forward for crypto security, 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (01) (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF), one of the first-to-market, enterprise level cybersecurity provider for the quantum computing era, together with qLABS, a newly formed crypto foundation focused on quantum resilience, today announce the official launch of qLABS www.qlabs.tech, a purpose built quantum-native crypto foundation. Built to defend Web3 from the existential risk posed by quantum computing, qLABS introduces a new protocol of quantum-resilient infrastructure for decentralized systems.

Building on the strategic alliance announced July 30, 2025, between 01 and qLABS to develop quantum-safe cryptocurrencies, today's launch marks the formal activation of that partnership and the beginning of a new era in crypto security. This milestone reflects both organizations' shared commitment to proactively addressing the quantum threat before it materializes. Marketing initiatives are currently in progress, with campaigns scheduled to ramp up through to the end of the year in anticipation of the first available offering, a quantum-safe wallet, planned for release in first quarter 2026.

qLABS is led by entrepreneur and long-time blockchain advocate Antanas Guoga (Tony G), whose early support for crypto innovation and investment helped shape Europe's policy landscape for digital assets. Tony has served as a Member of the European Parliament and is widely recognized for his leadership across the blockchain sector. He is also the former Chairman of Sol Strategies Inc. (CSE: HODL) (NASDAQ: STKE), a Canadian public company investing in and building infrastructure for the Solana blockchain. Ada Jonuse, a serial Web3 entrepreneur, has been appointed Executive Director of qLABS to shape its future and drive the realization of its quantum-secure vision.

In partnership with 01, qLABS will integrate 01's patent-pending post-quantum cryptographic technology (US #63/832787) directly into blockchain infrastructure. This includes a suite of tools designed to protect digital assets and decentralized applications from the future threat of quantum attacks.

While some quantum-focused projects are building entirely new Layer 1 blockchains from scratch, qLABS is taking a different approach: enabling quantum-resistant infrastructure for existing, widely adopted blockchains. This integration-focused strategy helps to ensure immediate relevance, scalability, and adoption without requiring a shift to new networks.

"qLABS exists to solve the problem crypto doesn't want to talk about: quantum attacks are coming, and most of Web3 isn't ready," said Tony G, President of qLABS. "We're building real tools, with real IP, for a very real threat. And we're doing it now, before Q-Day hits."

As quantum computing advances, it poses a serious risk to the cryptographic systems that secure digital wallets, transactions, and smart contracts. qLABS was formed in anticipation of these risks and will act as a launchpad for quantum-safe solutions developed in collaboration with 01.

"With this collaboration we are bringing enterprise-grade quantum security into the crypto space," said Andrew Cheung, CEO of 01. "Together with qLABS, we're safeguarding crypto to not only survive the quantum era but also thrive in it."

qLABS expects to capture market share while raising industry awareness about quantum preparedness by delivering on the key initiatives described below. The foundation's roadmap includes infrastructure enhancements, secure integration frameworks, and community engagement to foster a broader shift toward post-quantum readiness. Key initiatives include:

• Development of quantum-resistant wallets for individuals and institutions

• Deployment of wrapped quantum-resistant tokens on major ecosystems including Hyperliquid, Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin

• Design and implementation of quantum-resistant stablecoin infrastructure for secure, future-proofed value transfer across Web3
