Mondoshawan Protocol

Post-Quantum Layer 1 Blockchain
Ticker: QMON

The first Layer 1 combining GhostDAG BlockDAG consensus, ML-KEM-768 post-quantum cryptography (NIST FIPS 203), and full EVM compatibility. No other chain has all three. Built in Rust. Live on testnet now.

The Three Pillars

No other Layer 1 combines all three. Kaspa has GhostDAG but no PQC and no EVM. Ethereum has EVM but no BlockDAG and no PQC.

Why Mondoshawan?

Built from the ground up to solve the most critical challenges in blockchain: quantum security, scalability, and developer accessibility.

Post-Quantum Security

Every peer connection uses ML-KEM-768 (CRYSTALS-Kyber, NIST FIPS 203) for key exchange โ€” defeating Harvest Now, Decrypt Later attacks on the P2P layer. The protocol is quantum-safe from the first packet.

  • โœ“ ML-KEM-768 P2P transport (NIST FIPS 203)
  • โœ“ Kyber handshake on every peer connection
  • โœ“ Ed25519 TOFU identity verification
  • โœ“ HNDL-resistant gossip layer

GhostDAG Consensus

Mondoshawan uses the GhostDAG protocol โ€” the same architecture powering Kaspa's $874M network. Blocks form a Directed Acyclic Graph, allowing parallel block production and eliminating orphaned blocks.

  • โœ“ Parallel block production (K=4)
  • โœ“ Blue/Red block classification
  • โœ“ Hybrid sled + RAM hot-cache storage
  • โœ“ Quorum-based fork recovery

EVM Full EVM Compatibility

Mondoshawan integrates SputnikVM (Shanghai hard fork) with a fully validated JSON-RPC surface. MetaMask connects today. Deploy Solidity contracts without modification.

  • โœ“ SputnikVM (Shanghai hard fork)
  • โœ“ MetaMask compatible (Chain ID: 1338)
  • โœ“ 129+ JSON-RPC methods validated
  • โœ“ eth_call, gas estimation, receipts

Built & Operational Features

These features are fully implemented and running on the live testnet today.

BraidCore Mining

Three parallel mining streams: Stream A (Blake3/ASIC), Stream B (B3MemHash/GPU โ€” SIMD-accelerated memory-hard), Stream C (ZK Proofs). All streams feed GhostDAG consensus.

โœ… OPERATIONAL

Post-Quantum P2P

ML-KEM-768 (NIST FIPS 203) key exchange on every peer connection via QUIC transport. Kyber handshake completes before any block data is exchanged. Forward secrecy against quantum adversaries.

โœ… OPERATIONAL

Account Abstraction

Native account abstraction with multi-sig, social recovery, spending limits, and batch transactions. ERC-4337 compatible smart contract wallets at the protocol level.

โœ… OPERATIONAL

QUIC P2P Network

All peer connections use QUIC transport with Noise Protocol mutual authentication. Sybil resistance via Jaccard similarity detection and /16 subnet diversity limits. TOFU identity verification.

โœ… OPERATIONAL

Sync Resilience

Compact block IBD (BIP152-style), stall detection with automatic re-sync, quorum-based fork recovery, and orphan batch handling. Hardened across multi-datacenter production runs.

โœ… OPERATIONAL

Native Sharding

Consistent-hash shard assignment with two-phase commit cross-shard transactions. RwLock-based concurrent shard state management. Designed for linear throughput scaling.

๐Ÿ”ฌ TESTNET PHASE

Public Testnet Live

The Mondoshawan Public Testnet is running between two datacenters. Real cryptographic PoW. Real ML-KEM-768 handshakes. MetaMask connects today.

David Cooper

Founder & Lead Architect
Every blockchain being built today will eventually be cracked by a quantum computer. Not theoretical. Not decades away. The “harvest now, decrypt later” threat is active right now, and virtually every Layer 1 in production is ignoring it at the protocol layer. Mondoshawan doesn’t ignore it.

David Cooper is CCIE #14019, a network security architect with 25 years building production infrastructure, an Air Force veteran, and the creator of Runtime Fence, a patent-pending AI agent safety platform. He has shipped working AI security tools including MCPShield and the AI Agent Kill Switch, both open source and available for production use today. He has written extensively on post-quantum cryptography, AI agent identity, and blockchain infrastructure security.

Mondoshawan is built from scratch in Rust. Not a fork. Not a modified template. A ground-up implementation combining three technologies no other Layer 1 has put together: GhostDAG consensus (proven by Kaspa’s $874M market cap), ML-KEM-768 post-quantum key encapsulation (NIST FIPS 203), and a fully functional EVM surface with 129+ JSON-RPC methods. MetaMask connects on day one.

The core cryptographic modules are public. You can clone the repo, run cargo test, and watch the handshake pass.

A live multi-node testnet is running between two datacenters right now, producing blocks at a 10โ€“11 second median interval with real proof-of-work and real post-quantum key exchange on every peer connection.The full protocol implementation is under active development and available for security review under NDA. The core cryptographic modules are public and auditable by anyone today.
