summary
Claims a working stack: a quantum‑secured consensus and payments prototype hitting 3,500 TPS on a single‑core machine, a metadata‑shredding messenger based on cmix protocol with ~3s delivery and ~500 global nodes and tens of thousands of users, and an Elixir platform that bundles payments, WeChat‑style mini‑apps, private social, private search, and a sample‑voting system for grassroots elections. Also introduces “inalienable privacy” and pseudonymous credential mechanics to prevent identity stripping and enable verifiable private voting.
