CryptoQTK

@soqucoin 100x hidden gems ( $SOQ ) is a Layer-1 proof-of-work cryptocurrency designed to be post-quantum resistant from the genesis block.[](<soqu.org/docs/getting-starte…>) #Core Idea Most major blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, etc.) rely on elliptic-curve signatures (ECDSA or similar). A sufficiently powerful quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm could theoretically break these. $Soqucoin’s thesis is to avoid a risky future migration by building lattice-based signatures into the protocol from day one. (<soqu.org/>) Every transaction is signed with **ML-DSA-44** (Dilithium), the lattice-based digital signature scheme standardized by NIST as FIPS 204. Signatures are larger (~2,420 bytes) than classical ones, but the protocol treats this as the foundation rather than a feature to be added later. # Consensus & Mining Algorithm Scrypt Proof-of-Work (same family as #Litecoin and #Dogecoin ) -Block time: 60 seconds - Merge mining: Supports Auxiliary Proof-of-Work (AuxPoW). Miners can mine $SOQ simultaneously with $LTC and $DOGE using the same hardware and electricity—no extra cost. - Existing Scrypt ASICs (Antminer L7, L9, L11, etc.) work without firmware changes. The codebase is derived from #Dogecoin Core but has its own genesis block, address format (Bech32m addresses starting with `sq1p`), and a fully replaced signature system. ECDSA is gone from the transaction path.[](<soqu.org/docs/get-started/fa…>) ## Tokenomics $Soqucoin follows a #Dogecoin style emission model with a front-loaded schedule and a perpetual tail (no hard cap): | Period | Block Reward | Approx. Duration | | Blocks 1–250,000 | 100,000 SOQ | ~174 days | | 250,001–500,000 | 50,000 SOQ | ~174 days | | 500,001–750,000 | 25,000 SOQ | ~174 days | | 750,001–1,000,000 | 12,500 SOQ | ~174 days | | 1,000,001+ | 2,500 SOQ (forever) | Ongoing | This produces roughly **46.875 billion $SOQ in the first ~1.9 years, followed by a declining percentage inflation rate (~1.31 billion $SOQ per year in the tail). There is **no premine**, no ICO, and no team allocation. Every coin is mined (except a one-time pSOQ→SOQ migration of ~328.6 million $SOQ committed in block 1 from a closed window in late September–early October 2026). (<soqu.org/docs/get-started/to…>) The smallest unit is the **shor** (0.00000001 SOQ). ### Status (as of late October 2026) Mainnet launched on **13 October 2026**. Early network metrics showed block heights in the high teens of thousands, circulating supply around 2.2–2.3 billion $SOQ, and SOQUPOOL hashrate in the tens of TH/s while also producing #Litecoin and $Dogecoin blocks. Supporting pieces: - **SoquShield** — official self-custodial wallet (iOS and Android) - **SOQUPOOL** — multi-region mining pool with AuxPoW support - TypeScript SDK for developers (including in-browser signing) - Halborn security audit completed (findings remediated) - Listings on SafeTrade and NonKYC; tracked on CoinGecko Privacy features (SoquObscura confidential transactions) and other items such as Lightning L2 and USDSOQ stablecoin tech exist in various stages of development or research but are not yet active on mainnet. ### Bottom Line $Soqucoin is an early-stage Scrypt chain that prioritizes native NIST-standardized post-quantum signatures while leveraging the existing Litecoin/Dogecoin mining ecosystem through merge mining. It is still very young (weeks old on mainnet at the time of writing), so liquidity is thin, volatility is high, and infrastructure is still maturing—typical for a newly launched fair-launch PoW coin.
