#### What is Ozone Chain? Ozone Chain (OZO) is a pioneering [blockchain](https://www.coinbase.com/learn/crypto-basics/what-is-a-blockchain) platform that aims to address the potential threats posed by quantum computing to traditional [cryptographic](https://www.coinbase.com/learn/crypto-basics/what-is-cryptography) systems. It is the world's first Quantum Resistant Blockchain, integrating advanced quantum security technologies into its design. Ozone Chain is a decentralized platform that enables developers to create scalable, user-friendly [decentralized applications](https://help.coinbase.com/en/wallet/other-topics/what-is-a-dapp) ([dApps](https://www.coinbase.com/learn/wallet/guide-to-dapps)) with low transaction fees, without compromising on security. The platform uses quantum random numbers (QRN) and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to make the blockchain quantum secure and quantum resistant. This unique approach to blockchain security aims to provide the highest level of protection for digital assets. #### How does Ozone Chain work? Ozone Chain operates using a Proof of Authority [consensus mechanism](https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/getting-started/crypto-education/glossary/consensus-mechanism-protocol), which allows for higher transaction processing speed (TPS). The platform's network layer uses a variant of Post Quantum Cryptography called Lattice-based cryptography to secure inter-[node](https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/getting-started/crypto-education/glossary/node) communication, making it resistant to both classical and quantum attacks. Additionally, Ozone Chain relies on the quantum state of matter for the generation of random numbers, which are non-deterministic. These Quantum Random Numbers (QRN) are used in Ozone Chain's cryptographic protocols to generate seeds, initial random values, nonces (salts), blinding values, and padding bytes. This combination of quantum security technologies provides unprecedented security for digital assets like coins, [tokens](https://www.coinbase.com/learn/crypto-basics/what-is-a-token), and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) residing within the Ozone Chain. #### What are the potential use cases for Ozone Chain? Ozone Chain is designed to be a versatile platform that can be used for a wide range of applications. Developers can leverage the platform to build scalable, user-friendly dApps with low transaction fees. These dApps can be deployed just like on [Ethereum](https://www.coinbase.com/learn/crypto-basics/what-is-ethereum), thanks to Ozone Chain's Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility. The platform's quantum-resistant features make it an ideal choice for applications that require high levels of security, such as those dealing with digital assets like coins, utility tokens, governance tokens, and NFTs. Furthermore, Ozone Chain's open-source nature allows for continuous development and improvement, fostering a vibrant ecosystem of applications and services. #### What is the history of Ozone Chain? Ozone Chain was developed in response to the growing threat posed by quantum computing to traditional cryptographic systems. Recognizing the potential vulnerabilities of existing blockchain platforms, the team behind Ozone Chain set out to create a quantum-resistant blockchain that could withstand both classical and quantum attacks. The platform integrates advanced quantum security technologies, including quantum random numbers (QRN) and post-quantum cryptography (PQC), to provide the highest level of security for digital assets. Ozone Chain's quantum technologies have undergone various standardized tests and have been certified by TÜV Rheinland, a leading provider of testing and certification services. The platform's code is open-source and hosted on GitHub, allowing for continuous development and improvement by the global developer community.
