# Intro to QANplatform Why QANplatform? {% hint style="info" %} **QANplatform** /ˈkwɑːn ˈplætfɔːrm/ or **QAN blockchain platform** **QANX** /ˈkwɑːnˈeks/ the utility token of QANplatform {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} **Vision:** A world where real and helpful use-cases are built on the blockchain. **Mission:** Empowering anyone to build rapidly and securely on the blockchain. {% endhint %} {% embed url="" %} #### **QANplatform is the quantum-resistant Layer 1 hybrid blockchain platform that will allow developers and enterprises to build quantum-resistant:** smart contract, DApp, DeFi, DAO, token, CBDC, NFT, Metaverse, and Web3 solutions **on top of the QAN blockchain platform in any programming language.** **QANplatform will tackle fast adoption** by building [integrations](https://learn.qanplatform.com/technology/technology-features/integrations) to existing and widely used and loved [programming languages](https://learn.qanplatform.com/technology/technology-features/multi-language-smart-contracts-or-hyperpolyglot) *(all Linux Kernel compatible languages)*, DevOps technologies *(Docker, Kubernetes)*, major cloud platforms *(Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform...)*, Oracle APIs *(Chainlink, Band Protocol)*. QANplatform is [Ethereum EVM compatible](https://learn.qanplatform.com/technology/technology-features/ethereum-evm-compatibility). All of the projects currently running on Ethereum, like DEXes, NFTs, DeFi solutions can migrate easily to the [Quantum-resistant](https://learn.qanplatform.com/technology/technology-features/quantum-resistant-security) QANplatform. QANplatform is the [first Layer 1 blockchain that rewards developers](https://learn.qanplatform.com/technology/technology-features/developer-royalty-fees) after each new smart-contract deployment and each public blockchain (MainNet) transaction for a lifetime when their code part is reused by other developers or their smart contract is being interacted with. **QANplatform has 4 IPs (Intellectual Properties)** that were developed by the QAN team besides the many technological and economical innovations: 1. QANplatform's unique [Multi-language Smart-Contract Engine (QVM) ](https://learn.qanplatform.com/technology/technology-features/multi-language-smart-contracts-or-hyperpolyglot)makes QANplatform usable to 20M programmers by letting them code in any programming language. 2. QANplatform's unique [quantum-resistant](https://learn.qanplatform.com/technology/technology-features/quantum-resistant-security) cross-signer, QAN XLINK utilizes CRYSTALS-Dilithium, the NIST approved primary post-quantum algorithm. QAN XLINK is responsible for ensuring a 100% successful migration path when quantum computing attacks will affect elliptic curve cryptography. 3. QANplatform's unique [Proof-of-Randomness (PoR)](https://learn.qanplatform.com/technology/technology-features/proof-of-randomness-por-consensus-algorithm) algorithm. 4. QANplatform’s unique [Rapid cloud platform deployment](https://learn.qanplatform.com/technology/technology-features/integrations) lets users deploy the QAN blockchain platform to major cloud platforms like Amazon AWS in less than 5 minutes that making QANplatform the fastest blockchain to deploy on the market. ## What's next for QANplatform {% content-ref url="../about-us/roadmap" %} [roadmap](https://learn.qanplatform.com/about-us/roadmap) {% endcontent-ref %} ## For Developers {% embed url="" %} {% embed url="" %} {% embed url="" %}
