Terms & Concepts
Post-quantum signatures: Cryptographic signatures designed to resist attacks from quantum computers that could break many current encryption methods.
Testnet: A non-production blockchain environment used to trial upgrades and technical changes without affecting the live network.
Public key: A cryptographic identifier used to verify signatures and receive assets; its design can affect network security assumptions.
