Post-quantum
blockchain.
Layer 1 proof-of-work chain built in Rust. ML-DSA-87 signatures protect every transaction against both classical and quantum attacks. 30-second blocks. Fair launch. No pre-mine.
Why Axiom
Designed for a post-quantum world with engineering discipline, not marketing hype.
Quantum-Resistant Signatures
ML-DSA-87 (FIPS 204) provides NIST Category 5 security. Every transaction signature is safe against quantum computing attacks today and in the future.
Proof of Work
SHA3-256 mining with LWMA difficulty adjustment. Fair distribution through computational work, no staking cartels or validator committees.
30-Second Blocks
Fast confirmation times without sacrificing security. LWMA adjusts difficulty every block for stable intervals regardless of hashrate fluctuations.
Encrypted Local Wallet
BIP39 seed phrases with Argon2id key derivation and XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption. Private keys never leave your device.
Fair Distribution
No pre-mine, no ICO, no team allocation. Every AXM enters circulation through proof-of-work mining. Smooth reward decay from 50 AXM to 0.0001 AXM floor.
Built in Rust
Memory-safe systems language with zero-cost abstractions. Modular crate architecture for consensus, networking, storage, wallet, and RPC.
