Introduction

Welcome to the Quanta Payment documentation. This guide will help you integrate quantum-secure blockchain technology into your applications.

Prerequisites

Basic understanding of blockchain technology, cryptography, and RESTful APIs

What is Quanta Payment?

Quanta Payment is a next-generation blockchain platform that uses post-quantum cryptographic algorithms to ensure your transactions remain secure even against future quantum computing threats.

Quick Start

Get started with Quanta Payment in just a few minutes.

Installation

npm
npm install @quanta/payment-sdk

Initialize the SDK

JavaScript
import { QuantaClient } from '@quanta/payment-sdk';

const client = new QuantaClient({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
  network: 'mainnet'
});

// Create a wallet
const wallet = await client.createWallet();

Authentication

All API requests require authentication using API keys.

Obtaining API Keys

Generate API keys from your dashboard:

  • Log in to your Quanta Payment account
  • Navigate to API Settings
  • Click "Generate New API Key"
Authorization Header
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Blockchain Architecture

Quanta Payment uses a unique sharded architecture for maximum scalability.

Key Components

Beacon Chain

Coordinates consensus and manages validator registry

Shard Chains

Process transactions in parallel for unlimited throughput

Cross-Shard Communication

Enables seamless transfers between shards

Quantum Layer

Post-quantum cryptographic validation

Transactions

Learn how to create, sign, and broadcast transactions on the Quanta network.

Creating a Transaction

JavaScript
const transaction = await client.createTransaction({
  from: wallet.address,
  to: '0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f0bEb',
  amount: '1.5',
  fee: 'auto'
});

// Sign with quantum-resistant signature
const signed = await wallet.sign(transaction);

// Broadcast to network
const result = await client.broadcast(signed);

Transaction States

Pending
Transaction submitted to mempool
Confirmed
Included in a block
Finalized
Irreversible (after 32 confirmations)

Smart Contracts

Deploy and interact with quantum-secure smart contracts.

Example Contract

Quanta Contract Language
contract SimpleToken {
    mapping(address => uint256) balances;
    
    function transfer(address to, uint256 amount) {
        require(balances[msg.sender] >= amount);
        balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
        balances[to] += amount;
    }
    
    function getBalance(address addr) view returns (uint256) {
        return balances[addr];
    }
}

Quantum Cryptography

Understanding our post-quantum security implementation.

Supported Algorithms

  • CRYSTALS-Dilithium: Digital signatures
  • CRYSTALS-Kyber: Key encapsulation
  • SPHINCS+: Stateless hash-based signatures

Security Best Practices

⚠️ Important Security Guidelines

  • Never expose private keys in client-side code
  • Always validate transaction amounts
  • Use hardware wallets for large amounts
  • Implement rate limiting on API endpoints
