<p><strong>Naoris Protocol says its mainnet now functions as live production infrastructure, but the project's own public materials still leave the launch only partially verified. The "Q-Day" angle in this story is better supported as a security-planning issue for Bitcoin and Ethereum than as evidence of an active quantum attack.</strong></p>
<h2 id="what-naoris-has-actually-confirmed-about-its-mainnet">What Naoris Has Actually Confirmed About Its Mainnet</h2>
<p>On its <a href="https://knowledgebase.naorisprotocol.com/naoris-protocol/mainnet/naoris-mainnet-how-it-works" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">mainnet knowledge base page</a>, Naoris said mainnet activates the protocol as live, production-grade infrastructure, that developers can build directly on the Naoris Post-Quantum Chain, and that $NAORIS becomes the network's economic engine.</p>
<p>That still falls short of a clean public launch record. In a <a href="https://www.naorisprotocol.com/blog/naoris-protocol-testnet-complete-whats-next" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">November 24, 2025</a> transition post, Naoris said mainnet was scheduled before the end of Q1 2026; on <a href="https://www.naorisprotocol.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">April 3, 2026</a>, the homepage still told visitors to Prepare for mainnet! That leaves no exact public go-live date in the official materials cited here.</p>
<h2 id="why-bitcoin-and-ethereum-are-part-of-the-q-day-debate">Why Bitcoin and Ethereum Are Part of the Q-Day Debate</h2>
<p>Bitcoin and Ethereum appear in this story because a formal risk disclosure already links both networks to quantum-computing concerns. In its <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1679788/000167978825000022/coin-20241231.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">2024 annual report</a>, Coinbase told the SEC that advances in mathematics and technology, including quantum computing, could make the cryptography used by Bitcoin and Ethereum insecure or ineffective.</p>
<p>In plain language, Q-Day is the point at which quantum machines can break cryptographic systems now relied on by blockchains. The available evidence here points to migration planning, not an immediate break: an Ethereum Research proposal published on <a href="https://ethresear.ch/t/deprecating-bls-post-quantum-recovery-via-deposit-address/22285" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">May 8, 2025</a> said BLS-based 0x00 withdrawal credentials are vulnerable to quantum attacks, and that about 13,394 validators, or 1.15% of active validators, still used them as of January 2025.</p>
<h2 id="how-naoris-positions-its-post-quantum-chain-against-that-risk">How Naoris Positions Its Post-Quantum Chain Against That Risk</h2>
<p>The standards backdrop is real. NIST approved <a href="https://csrc.nist.gov/news/2024/postquantum-cryptography-fips-approved" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FIPS 203, 204, and 205</a> on August 13, 2024, and FIPS 204 is derived from CRYSTALS-Dilithium, the signature family Naoris references in its post-quantum positioning.</p>
<p>Naoris also pointed to testnet traction rather than a dated launch notice. In the same transition post, the company said it processed 106,178,587 post-quantum transactions, created 3,353,759 wallets, and activated 1,065,218 security nodes before the mainnet phase.</p>

<h2 id="what-investors-should-verify-before-treating-the-launch-as-confirmed">What Investors Should Verify Before Treating the Launch as Confirmed</h2>
<p>The practical takeaway is straightforward: the knowledge base, the older transition post, and the homepage do not yet add up to a dated official launch announcement plus a mainnet status or explorer page. For TrustsCrypto readers, that is a disclosure problem in the same broad category as <a href="https://trustscrypto.com/coinbase-occ-approval-for-national-trust-company/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase OCC Approval for National Trust Company</a> and <a href="https://trustscrypto.com/us-attorney-connecticut-forfeits-600k-in-tether-linked-to-ledger-phishing-letter/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">US Attorney Connecticut Forfeits $600K in Tether Linked to Ledger Phishing Letter</a>.</p>
<h2 id="faq-what-readers-still-need-answered">FAQ: What Readers Still Need Answered</h2>
<h3 id="has-naoris-officially-launched-its-mainnet">Has Naoris officially launched its mainnet?</h3>
<p>The strongest official wording is on the mainnet knowledge base page, but the transition post and homepage still leave the public launch only partially verified.</p>
<h3 id="are-bitcoin-and-ethereum-under-an-active-quantum-attack-today">Are Bitcoin and Ethereum under an active quantum attack today?</h3>
<p>No cited evidence in this brief shows that. The Coinbase SEC filing frames quantum computing as a risk, while the Ethereum Research proposal is about recovery and migration planning for vulnerable credentials.</p>
<h3 id="what-does-post-quantum-or-dilithium-mean-in-this-story">What does post-quantum or Dilithium mean in this story?</h3>
<p>Here it means cryptography meant to stay secure in a future where quantum attacks matter. The standards anchor is NIST's approval of FIPS 203, 204, and 205, including FIPS 204, which is derived from CRYSTALS-Dilithium.</p>
