# Quantus review: Trust Score 50/100 (Mixed)

Source page: https://vaultx.llc/reviews/quantus · independent VaultX review by Rex · updated 2026-11-04

New quantum-resistant PoW coin hit its launch dates, but team, audits and fund use are thinly documented

Quantus is a proof-of-work Layer-1 that markets itself as quantum-resistant and privacy-focused. According to its own roadmap, mainnet went live on 9 September 2026, and QTC began trading through near.com / NEAR Intents on 6 October 2026, as the project had announced. Independent coverage is mostly launch announcements and syndicated pieces, and the research found no hacks, lawsuits or investigations. It also found no published audit report, no clearly identified legal entity or jurisdiction, and no verified breakdown of the team and investor allocation. The coin is under two months old and has reportedly fallen from above $180 to around $80, so there is little track record to judge.

**Red flags**
- No published audit report found in the supplied results, even though the roadmap lists audits
- No clearly identified legal entity, jurisdiction or full team roster; the main explainer comes from the @hekmachine account
- About 27% of supply was reportedly created at genesis (mostly locked), and the team/investor allocation split could not be verified from an official source
- A UK FCA warning names 'Quantus Holdings Strategies & Quantus Holdings Ltd'. Nothing in the notes links that entity to Quantus Network or QTC, but the name match is unresolved and worth checking
- Promotional-style content is circulating, including price-focused articles and press releases about QTC
- Very short track record (mainnet only since 9 September 2026), with reported volatility: from above $180 to around $80
- Most roadmap completion claims come from the project itself

**Green flags**
- Mainnet and the NEAR Intents trading launch both happened on the announced schedule, according to project posts and press coverage
- Public roadmap and documentation on GitHub, with a technical thread documenting the mainnet genesis
- No hacks, exploits, lawsuits or investigations naming Quantus/QTC found in the supplied results
- No conventional VC fundraise or token sale has been publicly disclosed, and new supply comes only from mining
- QTC can be accessed without depositing at a centralized exchange (180+ assets across 30+ chains via NEAR Intents), and Quantus says QTC collateral is live on Rhea Finance
