QashChain

Blockchain powered by quantum hashing operations!

• GitHub repo is here
  
• This codebase is released under the Apache 2.0 License available here
• based on the hash circuits from qash-qkdc
• supports superconductor and photonic QPUs
• itch.io zip file contains the main branch from GitHub, if other branches are desired, use of git and/or GitHub is required

---

Updates:

• new nonce implementation for increased blockchain security
• new devices
  • ibm/qiskit
  • google/cirq
• deterministic and non-deterministic circuit modes
  • deterministic: generate secure, verifiable hashes
  • non-deterministic: generate truly random nonces

---

Note: the GitHub repo has the most up to date information and codebase, while the zip file is provided for convenience, it may be a bit behind depending on the upload process (I'll do my best to make sure itch.io and GitHub are in sync)

---

Future Goals: 

• target other QPU types (trapped-ion, neutral-atom, etc.)
• develop consensus algorithm (public and private modes)
• implement permissions system
• add smart contracts 
• develop ui for blockchain demo
