<a href="https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/business/btq-taps-ex-samsung-security-lead-to-advance-its-quantum-chip" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTQ Technologies</a> (Nasdaq: BTQ), a quantum technology company, has signed a three-year commercial agreement with Kaia DLT Foundation to deploy its Quantum Secure Stablecoin Network (QSSN) across the Kaia <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/tag/blockchain" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blockchain</a>, the company announced on Sept. 29.&nbsp;
LINE NEXT's Unifi Wallet, a consumer stablecoin wallet accessible within the LINE messaging app, is positioned among the first applications to benefit from the deployment.
<a href="https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/tag/quantum-computing" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Quantum computing</a> is a fundamentally different type of computing that could one day break the cryptography protecting blockchain networks and digital wallets.&nbsp;
QSSN is designed to add post-quantum security at the blockchain's transaction and settlement layers, meaning protection extends to every application built on Kaia, including Unifi, without requiring changes to individual products.

Under the agreement, <a href="https://www.btq.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTQ</a> will receive a share of transaction fees generated by QSSN-secured activity on Kaia,&nbsp;giving it recurring revenue beyond one-time licensing or integration fees.
The company expects first-year revenue in the six figures, with growth tied to transaction volume over the three-year term. The deal marks QSSN's first recurring commercial deployment.
Kaia was formed through the merger of Kakao's Klaytn and LINE's Finschia blockchains.&nbsp;

The resulting network is connected to KakaoTalk and LINE, two of Asia's largest messaging platforms, representing a combined potential user base of more than 250 million people across South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia and other Asian markets.

 "This agreement advances BTQ's strategy of making post-quantum security part of the infrastructure that digital finance runs on," said&nbsp; BTQ Technologies CEO Olivier Roussy Newton.

Unifi is LINE NEXT's non-custodial <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/stablecoins" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stablecoin</a> wallet, built directly into LINE Messenger.&nbsp;
It supports <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/tag/usdt" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">USDT</a>, Japan's JPYC and Indonesia's IDRP, with plans to add more regional stablecoins.&nbsp;
Because QSSN protects assets at the account level on Kaia, stablecoins held in Unifi are covered without requiring action from individual token issuers.
