Getting Started

Welcome to the CryptoGuardian documentation. This guide will help you understand and implement the quantum-proof security features of the CryptoGuardian token.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

  • Basic knowledge of blockchain technology and smart contracts
  • Familiarity with Solidity programming language
  • Node.js and npm installed on your development machine

  • Upgradeability: UUPS pattern for seamless contract upgrades without losing state
  • Security Fee: 0.5% fee on transactions to fund ongoing security research and development
  • Cross-Chain Compatibility: Designed to work across multiple blockchain ecosystems

Token Economics

The CryptoGuardian token has the following economic parameters:

  • Total Supply: 500,000,000 GRDN
  • Security Fee: 0.5% on all transactions
  • Distribution: 40% public sale, 20% team (vested), 15% security research, 15% ecosystem development, 10% reserve

Quantum Security

CryptoGuardian implements several layers of quantum-proof security features to protect against quantum computing threats.

Post-Quantum Cryptography

The token uses lattice-based cryptography, which is considered resistant to quantum computing attacks. The implementation includes:

  • Enhanced hash functions that combine traditional and post-quantum algorithms
  • Quantum-resistant signature schemes for transaction verification
  • Hybrid approach that maintains compatibility with existing blockchain infrastructure

Dynamic Security Parameters

CryptoGuardian includes a system for dynamically adjusting security parameters based on the current quantum threat landscape:

// Update quantum security level via oracle
function updateQuantumSecurityLevel() external {
    require(address(quantumOracle) != address(0), "Oracle not set");
    
    // Get latest parameters from oracle
    (uint256 newLevel, bytes memory extraData) = quantumOracle.getQuantumProofParameters();
    
    // Verify the update is legitimate
    require(newLevel > 0, "Invalid security level");
    
    // Update the quantum proof level
    uint256 oldLevel = quantumProofLevel;
    quantumProofLevel = newLevel;
    
    // Store additional data if provided
    if (extraData.length > 0) {
        quantumProofData = extraData;
    }
    
    // Update the threat assessment
    quantumThreatAssessment = _calculateThreatLevel(newLevel, extraData);
    
    // Record update time
    lastQuantumLevelUpdate = block.timestamp;
    
    // Adjust security fee if necessary
    if (newLevel > oldLevel) {
        _adjustSecurityFeeForThreat();
    }
    
    emit QuantumProofLevelUpdated(newLevel);
}

QRSES Technology

Quantum-Resistant Self-Evolving Security (QRSES) is CryptoGuardian's revolutionary approach to blockchain security. It combines quantum-proof cryptography with artificial intelligence to create a token that autonomously evolves its security measures.

Core Components

  • AI-Driven Security Evolution: Off-chain AI system that monitors quantum computing advancements
  • On-Chain Learning: Smart contract mechanisms that adapt based on transaction patterns
  • Distributed Security Consensus: Network of validators that propose security parameter adjustments
  • Temporal Sharding: Transaction verification split across different time frames
  • Cross-Chain Quantum Entanglement: Security parameters linked across multiple blockchains

For detailed information on QRSES, see the QRSES Innovation page.

Deployment Guide

This section provides a step-by-step guide for deploying the CryptoGuardian token to various blockchain networks.

Testnet Deployment

Before deploying to mainnet, it's recommended to test on a testnet:

// Configure network in hardhat.config.js
module.exports = {
  networks: {
    testnet: {
      url: "https://data-seed-prebsc-1-s1.binance.org:8545/",
      accounts: [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY],
      chainId: 97,
    },
  },
};

// Deploy script
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network testnet

Mainnet Deployment

Once testing is complete, you can deploy to mainnet:

// Configure network in hardhat.config.js
module.exports = {
  networks: {
    mainnet: {
      url: "https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/",
      accounts: [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY],
      chainId: 56,
    },
  },
};

// Deploy script
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network mainnet

Post-Deployment Steps

After deployment, complete these important steps:

  1. Verify the contract on the blockchain explorer
  2. Set up the oracle network for security parameter updates
  3. Initialize the validator network for security consensus
  4. Configure the cross-chain bridges for quantum entanglement
  5. Set up monitoring and alerting for security events

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes CryptoGuardian quantum-proof?

CryptoGuardian implements post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, specifically lattice-based cryptography, which is considered resistant to quantum computing attacks. Additionally, the QRSES system continuously evolves security measures in response to advances in quantum computing.

How does the security fee work?

A 0.5% fee is applied to all transactions. This fee is used to fund ongoing security research and development, maintain the AI system, and provide rewards to security validators.

Can I exclude my address from the security fee?

Yes, the contract owner can exclude specific addresses from the security fee using the excludeFromSecurity(address account, bool excluded) function.

How does QRSES compare to other quantum-proof tokens?

While other tokens may implement basic quantum-proof algorithms, QRSES goes further by adding AI-driven evolution, temporal sharding, and cross-chain quantum entanglement. This creates a multi-layered security approach that continuously adapts to emerging threats.

Is CryptoGuardian compatible with existing wallets and exchanges?

Yes, CryptoGuardian is fully compatible with standard ERC20 wallets and exchanges. The quantum security features work behind the scenes without requiring special wallet support.

How can I participate in the validator network?

Validator participation will be opened after the mainnet launch. Validators will need to stake a minimum amount of GRDN tokens and run specialized validator software. Details will be announced on our official channels.
