Commercial Deployments Underway; Revenue Growth - Q1 2026
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 19, 2026) - 01 Quantum Inc. (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF) ("01 Quantum" or the "Company"), one of the first-to-market, enterprise level cybersecurity providers for the quantum computing era, is pleased to report the Company's first quarter 2026 results which ended January 31, 2026.
Andrew Cheung, CEO for 01 Quantum, commented: "While we continue to build out our IronCAP™ based product suite our first two verticals being remote access and digital assets are now commercially ready and beginning to generate revenue through our partners. Our next major opportunity is quantum-safe AI, where recent breaches involving prompt privacy and model security have highlighted the need for encrypted, secure AI execution. With sufficient capital to advance our existing roadmap and a growing pipeline of partner-driven deployments, we believe 2026 will be an important year in converting our technology investments into long-term value."
Commercial deployments:
Remote Access - As previously announced, (click HERE for press release) , DoMobile Ver.5 with quantum-safety is now in the market through our partner in Japan. The Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) enhanced zero-trust remote access platform developed in conjunction with our partner entered commercial availability in Japan in late January 2026. DoMobile Ver.5 integrates our IronCAP™ PQC to protect against harvest-now-decrypt-later (HNDL) threats. With development complete, marketing and deployment has commenced by our Japanese partner. 01 Quantum participates through upfront development fees and ongoing royalties.
Digital Assets - $qONE was launched on February 6, 2026 as the first quantum-resistant token and wallet on the Hyperliquid platform in partnership with qLABS Foundation. $qONE is powered by 01 Quantum's Quantum Crypto Wrapper (QCW) and Quantum DeFi Wrapper (QDW), enabling quantum-safe transactions on existing blockchains such as Hyperliquid, Ethereum and Solana. $qONE is designed to be the "Quantum Gas Fee currency" to pay when users want to quantum-protect their existing tokens.
Following the launch of $qONE is the Layer 1 Migration Toolkit planned for release in late April. Upgrading existing Layer 1 blockchains remains a significant challenge. The Toolkit addresses this by providing a phased, production-ready framework that enables smart-contract-based blockchains including Ethereum, Solana and Hyperliquid, as well as major stablecoins, the transition to quantum-resistant security without disrupting existing infrastructure. The Toolkit builds on 01 Quantum's QCW and QDW technologies with a "PQC Circuit Breaker", combining post-quantum cryptography with zero-knowledge proofs to maintain on-chain efficiency, scalability, and compatibility.
Commercialization is partner-driven, with 01 Quantum participating through upfront development fees and token-sharing arrangements.
Quantum Safe AI - emerging market opportunity:
Development of the Company's Quantum AI Wrapper (QAW) continued during the quarter. QAW is designed to let AI systems work on data without ever exposing that data in readable form. It does this by combining full homomorphic encryption (FHE), which allows computation on encrypted information, with our IronCAP™ PQC. The result is an AI environment where prompts, model parameters, and outputs stay encrypted end-to-end, even if the underlying system is compromised.
Recent published security analyses, including a report by Boston Consulting Group, have confirmed a rapid increase in real-world AI-related breaches. The report concludes roughly
The need for encrypted AI execution is being accelerated by the rapid adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs), general-purpose AI systems that generate text, analyze documents, and answer natural-language queries and Small Language Models (SLMs), which are compact, domain-specific models increasingly embedded inside enterprise workflows. Both LLMs and SLMs routinely handle confidential prompts, proprietary data, and regulated information, making them attractive targets for attackers and reinforcing the need for secure, encrypted AI environments.
By allowing AI models to operate on encrypted data without ever decrypting it, QAW prevents attackers from learning anything about the user or their data, even if they gain full access to the hosting environment. At the same time QAW also protects the model itself from being copied or reconstructed through side-channel attacks. These protections are increasingly viewed as essential for regulated industries, high-value AI workloads and organizations that rely on proprietary models. The Company's QAW technology goes one step further allowing for a ground-breaking environment where competitors such as banks can share credit card fraud detection models for mutual benefit without revealing any confidential information.
According to market research forecasts from Technavio a leading global market research company, the global privacy-preserving AI market will grow to approximately US
The Company's initial commercial focus is on high-value expert SLMs where FHE is most practical today and where demand for secure, specialized AI solutions is growing rapidly. QAW represents one of 01 Quantum's most significant long-term opportunities, addressing an accelerating market need to protect intellectual property and preserve privacy in AI environments.
Financial Results for the first quarter 2026:
IFRS loss for the period was
The adjusted loss, which excludes stock-based compensation and depreciation which are non-cash expenses, was
Revenue was
Operating expenses were
Liquidity: Cash and GIC's total
Outlook for 2026:
The Company has two PQC product verticals commercially available and in the market through partners and is entering a period of increasing commercial activity. The Company's focus for 2026 includes:
- supporting our partner's rollout of DoMobile Ver.5,
- expanding $qONE adoption across blockchain ecosystems,
- advancing QAW toward initial commercial availability, and
- continuing to build out additional PQC technologies in its roadmap.
Andrew Cheung further commented, "Our potential long-term opportunity is significant. The world is moving toward quantum-safe infrastructure, and the need for secure AI execution environments is accelerating even faster than we expected. With our technology foundation in place and partners now starting to drive commercialization as well as establishing credibility for our technology, we believe 2026 will be an important year in establishing 01 Quantum as a leader in quantum-resilient cybersecurity and AI security."
