Quantinium

Quantinium is a Layer 1 aimed at decentralised wireless, built as an Avalanche L1 that puts bandwidth sharing and settlement on one chain. Users turn a home router into a hotspot and join the network, earning QTI for traffic actually forwarded, while access buyers pay for connectivity in QTI.

Its technical emphasis is post-quantum cryptography: signatures and key encapsulation use quantum-resistant algorithm combinations, on-chain accounts bind to device identities, and hotspots relay over peer-to-peer channels while settling traffic receipts on chain periodically. The network spans Wi-Fi, 5G, LoRaWAN and satellite backhaul, with devices doing only light signing and nodes handling validation and bookkeeping. Formed in Florida in 2022, it worked with Republic Crypto on its economic architecture, writing bandwidth metering and node rules into on-chain parameters.
