Star Metro - 01 Communique Announces its Strategic Focus on Post-Quantum Cryptography for Enhanced Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Security

Recent advancements have taken place in quantum computing, such as Google Quantum AI's announcement of their Willow quantum chip, which demonstrates significant improvements in error correction and scalability. (For more information click on Meet Willow, our state-of-the-art quantum chip). This breakthrough underscores the importance of developing technologies, such as our PQC solutions, that are designed to withstand the computational power of quantum computers.

Andrew Cheung, CEO of 01 Communique had the following comments. "These recent advancements in quantum computing have reignited the discussion around the safety of traditional encryption. We at 01 Communique have always believed the quantum threat is real, spending the past several years and millions of dollars developing PQC-compliant products. Our technologies have incorporated PQC algorithms endorsed by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as their latest FIPS-203, FIPS-204, and FIPS-205. They have already been integrated into our various applications, including email encryption and remote access solutions that are available on our website. Most importantly, we recognized that cryptocurrencies would be vulnerable to attacks from quantum computers and have been working on a solution since 2022. As a result, we completed a PQC-compliant Solana (SOL) L1 blockchain with expectations of completing commercialization in 2025. We also plan to expand into PQC-compliant AI Machine Learning as well as true end-to-end messaging platform."

Andrew Cheung further commented on the Company's future prospects. "Our PQC-compliant Solana project resulted in us receiving a US Patent (Pat #11,669,833) for a technology invented that can turn any existing cryptocurrency into becoming PQC-compliant. Today it is our belief there is heightened concern around the importance of PQC as well as the growing popularity and acceptance of cryptocurrencies. We believe our technology is the ideal solution to be incorporated with cryptocurrencies to help alleviate concerns over the security of cryptocurrencies with respect to quantum computers."
