PoQ explained

What PoQ means in practice

PoQ is Talero's way to attach verifiable evidence to important network checkpoints. For a non-technical reader, think of it like a post-quantum notarial seal on each checkpoint: the seal can be exported, stored and checked later by someone other than the node that created it. For an RWA issuer, that means a high-value asset workflow can keep a proof bundle alongside its settlement record, giving partners a clear way to verify what the network reported at that moment. PoQ does not replace legal review or compliance work; it provides technical settlement assurance that can be independently inspected.

Post-quantum posture

Where Talero uses post-quantum cryptography

Talero is EVM-compatible, so the base EVM account model still uses secp256k1 addresses and ECDSA transaction signatures. That is a compatibility constraint shared by EVM networks: changing it at the transaction layer would break existing wallets, tooling and contracts. Talero's approach is to protect the layers the EVM leaves open while keeping familiar EVM access intact.

Network transport Hybrid X25519 + ML-KEM-768 transport posture can protect peer sessions against harvest-now-decrypt-later risk, with fail-closed behavior when required by configuration.
Validator vote authentication BFT validator vote surfaces can carry ML-DSA-65 signatures verified at runtime, strengthening finality participation evidence.
Checkpoint certification Finalized checkpoints can receive ML-DSA-65 PoQ certificates that are exportable and independently verifiable outside the producing node.
EVM verification primitive A native ML-DSA-65 verification precompile is available at 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000903 for contracts that need on-chain PQ signature checks.
Smart account path TaleroPQAccount gives applications a route to control EVM accounts with ML-DSA-65 keys while preserving the underlying EVM address format.
Node identity Nodes can bind persistent ML-DSA-65 identity material to their networking posture, giving peers a stronger authentication surface than a classical node key alone.

The honest constraint

Talero does not claim that every EVM transaction is post-quantum by default. The ECDSA layer remains for backward compatibility. The post-quantum layer protects transport, validator identity, checkpoint history and the smart-account path, giving builders and issuers a practical migration route for high-value workflows that want post-quantum signing and independently verifiable settlement records.

Why this matters now

The EU has published a coordinated roadmap for member states to begin the transition to post-quantum cryptography, and NIST transition guidance is already moving organizations away from quantum-vulnerable public-key cryptography. Institutions that build on infrastructure with no visible PQ migration path risk accumulating cryptographic debt in systems that may need to preserve confidentiality and authenticity for many years.

Harvest-now-decrypt-later risk is especially relevant for financial infrastructure: traffic captured today may be stored and attacked later when stronger quantum capabilities exist. Talero addresses that risk at the transport layer with hybrid X25519 + ML-KEM-768 key exchange, while PoQ checkpoint certificates use ML-DSA-65 to make settlement evidence resistant to future signature forgery.

TLRO tokenomics

Emission model at a glance

TLRO is the native asset used for gas, protocol incentives and security participation. The current protocol parameters target a 1,000,000,000 TLRO maximum supply, a 10-second block interval and a 6,307,200-block halving rhythm, roughly two years at target block time.

Supply cap target 1,000,000,000 TLRO.
Block target 10 seconds per block.
Halving rhythm 6,307,200 blocks, about two years at target time.
Emission distribution Issuance is directed toward the roles that operate and secure the network: PoW block production, PoS/BFT security participation and protocol incentive surfaces exposed by the runtime.

No premine or ICO is defined in this public parameter summary.

TLRO issuance and distribution

TLRO supply enters circulation through block issuance under the current hybrid PoW / PoS schedule. The summary below covers issuance flows and reward allocation only; transaction fees are separate. No separate treasury, ecosystem, team, or founder allocation is defined in this public parameter summary.

Phase 0 block issuance 100% PoW miners. Applies for the first 60,480 blocks.
Post-Phase 0 block issuance 80% PoW miners / 20% PoS validators. After Phase 0, block issuance is shared between miners and validators.
Initial issuance rate The current issuance schedule starts at 80 TLRO per block.
Why Talero

Infrastructure that can be inspected

Familiar EVM access Build with standard EVM tooling while using Talero-specific proof, finality and reporting surfaces when stronger assurance is needed.
Hybrid consensus discipline PoW block production is paired with PoS/BFT finality signals for clearer settlement and operational visibility.
Exportable proof workflows PoQ checkpoint evidence can be exported, retained and independently verified outside the node that produced it.
Institutional readability Runtime capabilities, readiness, proof feeds and policy surfaces make Talero easier to inspect for operators, issuers and partners.
Built for asset workflows

Permissioned tokenized asset infrastructure

Talero supports issuer-oriented token models with programmable transfer policy, deterministic deployment patterns, public discovery metadata and optional PoQ-backed settlement assurance for high-value flows.

Permissioned token model Asset flows can be shaped around issuer-defined participation rules.
Issuer-controlled policy Transfer policy can be encoded and managed by the issuer workflow.
Public asset discovery Metadata surfaces help wallets, explorers and partners identify issued assets.
PoQ-backed settlement assurance High-value flows can connect settlement checks to exportable proof evidence.
Verification and reporting

Proof evidence and runtime posture

Talero is designed to expose the state serious teams need to inspect: finalized checkpoints, proof availability, runtime posture, public health, readiness and integration signals.

Proof feed and export bundles Checkpoint evidence can be packaged for retention and review.
Runtime capability registry Integrators can read supported surfaces and posture directly.
Health and readiness signals Public signals help operators understand service state.
External verification paths Proof bundles are designed for checks beyond the producing node.
Consensus and execution

Hybrid EVM Layer 1

Talero pairs PoW block production with PoS/BFT finality surfaces while preserving EVM-compatible execution for builders and application teams.

  • EVM-compatible reads and writes: familiar account, contract, transaction and receipt workflows.
  • Finality visibility: applications and operators can inspect finality signals and checkpoint evidence.
  • Public tooling: explorer, RPC, wallet, pool, faucet and documentation surfaces remain easy to reach.
Privacy-aware operations

Policy, transport and observability

Talero includes privacy-aware public policy, selective disclosure verification surfaces, safe mode, watchtower and honeytrap observability, and hardened P2P/networking posture.

  • Selective disclosure: verification surfaces can support scoped proofs without exposing more state than needed.
  • Post-quantum transport: node-to-node traffic uses X25519 + ML-KEM-768 hybrid key exchange, so captured peer traffic is not protected only by classical ECDH.
  • Structured diagnostics: metrics, readiness and warning surfaces help teams monitor integrations.
