Protocol Village: QANPlatform for Quantum Resistance Raises $15M from Qatar's MBK

"One of the unique features of QANplatform, besides rapid cloud deployment or quantum-resistant security, is its ability to support smart contracts in any programming language. The QAN Virtual Machine (QVM) allows developers to write smart contracts in any Linux-Kernel-compatible programming language (like: JavaScript, Java, Python, TypeScript, C, C++, C#, etc.)."

This is a breakthrough for the whole blockchain ecosystem since most blockchain platforms are only compatible with the Ethereum smart contract language, Solidity. Out of over 26 million software developers worldwide only 200,000 can code in Solidity.

This VC backing is great news for the project. They will be burning 30% supply this week:

"The driving force behind the token burn originates from a thorough evaluation and careful planning undertaken by the project team, advisors, and partners. Subsequent calculations and analysis led to the conclusion that this surplus of tokens is not essential for the successful execution of the project, but on the other hand it would result in an unfair voting power at the upcoming mainnet launch which goes against core decentralization principles."
