Welcome to VectraShield

Welcome to the VectraShield docs!

Here you'll get an overview of all the amazing features Vectra offers to help you build cryptocurrency applications secure against quantum computer threats.

The goal of the VectraShield is to offer a seamless, turn-key solution to secure client digital assets against threats from the advent of quantum computers. Users of the VectraShield - wallets, protocols, retail, and institutions - will be able to easily integrate the VectraShield into their existing chains and wallets to achieve post-quantum security as an extra layer of defense for their digital assets.

The VectraShield emphasizes both post-quantum and classical security, fully portable and native network deployments, procedural transparency with composability, and complete token fungibility across networks. The network relies on Quantum Unit Interlock Pathways (“VECTRA”), which can link together to create arbitrary contracts and value cascades simultaneously and atomically on multiple networks. A quorum of validators provides additional assurances in case of block reorganizations on interlocked chains, batches together complex transactions, and creates incentives for quantum whitehats to alert the public to vulnerabilities in commonly used cryptographic primitives.
