Post quantum layer one
from the genesis block.
Quantum-safe signatures from block zero. Smart contracts in plain JavaScript. Two-second finality on validators you can run from a laptop.
Built to survive post-quantum from the very beginning.
Every signature on Asentum uses NIST FIPS 204 ML-DSA-65 (Dilithium3) — quantum-safe from genesis. No migration. No legacy classical signatures. The chain built to outlast the cryptography securing every other blockchain today.
Built from scratch, compatible with 17 million developers.
Smart contracts in plain JavaScript — immutable by default, verifiable in a single hash compare, reentrancy structurally impossible. The contract platform JavaScript developers should always have had.
Run validator clients from anywhere on anything.
A rotating ~100-validator BFT committee, permissionless after genesis, tuned for the median consumer PC. A Raspberry Pi 4 is the supported floor — no datacenter, no enterprise hardware required.
Immutable, verifiable smart contracts.
Contracts deploy as plain JS source — readable on-chain, verifiable in a single hash compare. Reentrancy is structurally impossible. No compiler to trust. No upgrade key to trust. What you read is what you run.
Governance-secured native ecosystem.
ASE holders vote on protocol upgrades, approved contract libraries, and network parameters. Every proposal lives on-chain — transparent, auditable, stake-weighted. The chain evolves by the consensus of the people running it.

Earn ASE by validating, before mainnet launch.
Run a validator on the incentivized testnet, earn real ASE rewards for blocks signed, and graduate straight to mainnet with your stake and reputation intact. JS-native, runs on the laptop on your desk, ML-DSA-65 post-quantum signed from day one. Drop your email, we send one note when the testnet opens. Nothing else.

Validate from anywhere with retail hardware.
No data-center rack. No six-figure staking buy-in. An Asentum validator runs on the laptop already on your desk — modest CPU, standard bandwidth, 5-second blocks. Decentralisation the way it was meant to be: anyone, anywhere, on hardware they already own.

What makes Asentum different?
Post-quantum signatures, plain JavaScript contracts, and consumer-hardware validators — side by side with the chains you already know.
Signatures
ML-DSA-65 (Dilithium3) — quantum-safe from genesis
Smart Contracts
Plain JavaScript source — hash-verify yourself
Reentrancy
Structurally impossible (async message-passing)
Upgrade Keys
Immutable by default, upgradeable labeled visibly
Validator Hardware
Consumer PC, Pi 4 supported floor
PQC Migration

The chain that's built for what comes next.
Post-quantum cryptography from genesis. Smart contracts in the language 22 million developers already know. Validators on real hardware. 5-second blocks, proven on testnet.
