QSBitcoin for Developers

Explore Quantum-Safe Technology

QSBitcoin offers developers a unique opportunity to work with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) in a practical blockchain context. As a developer, you can:

• Study PQC Implementations: Analyze the source code to understand how PQC algorithms (like lattice-based or hash-based signatures) are integrated into a blockchain protocol.
• Learn About Quantum Threats: Gain practical insight into the cryptographic vulnerabilities posed by quantum computers and the solutions being developed.
• Experiment with PQC Libraries: Potentially leverage the cryptographic libraries used or developed by QSBitcoin for other projects (subject to licensing).

Dive deeper into the technical details on the Innovation page and by exploring the project's source code repository (link usually found in the footer or on the Development page).

Contribute to QSBitcoin Core

QSBitcoin is an open-source research project that welcomes contributions from developers of all skill levels. You can get involved by:

• Reviewing Code: Help ensure code quality and security by reviewing pull requests from other contributors.
• Reporting Bugs: Identify and report issues found during testing or code analysis.
• Writing Code: Contribute new features, fix bugs, improve performance, or enhance security. Check the project's contribution guidelines and open issues.
• Improving Documentation: Help make the project more accessible by writing tutorials, improving technical documentation, or clarifying concepts.
• Developing Testing Tools: Create tools or scripts to automate testing and improve the robustness of the codebase.

Find more information on how to contribute, including links to the code repository and communication channels, on the Development page.

Build on QSBitcoin (Future Potential)

As the QSBitcoin project matures, opportunities may arise for developers to build applications and services on top of its quantum-safe blockchain:

• Wallet Development: Create new QSBitcoin wallets with unique features or for different platforms.
• Payment Integration: Develop tools or plugins to allow merchants to accept QSBitcoin payments.
• Blockchain Analysis Tools: Build explorers or analytics platforms for the QSBitcoin blockchain.
• Second-Layer Solutions: Explore the development of scaling or privacy solutions built on top of QSBitcoin.
• Quantum-Safe Applications: Design novel applications that require the long-term security guarantees offered by PQC.

Access to APIs, libraries, and developer documentation will be crucial for building on QSBitcoin. Check the Developer Resources page for available tools and information (this page might be created later in the project).

Getting Started as a Developer

1. Understand the Basics: Familiarize yourself with how QSBitcoin works and its quantum safety features.
2. Explore the Code: Visit the project's code repository (e.g., GitHub).
3. Check Resources: Look for developer documentation, APIs, or guides on the Developer Resources page (if available) or the main Development page.
4. Join the Community: Connect with other developers through forums, chat channels, or mailing lists linked on the Community page.
5. Start Small: Begin by tackling smaller bugs, documentation improvements, or exploring the testnet (if active).

Note: As an evolving research project, APIs and internal structures may change. Stay updated with the project's official communications.
