Post-quantum cryptography, atomic-precision timing, RF-resilient consensus, and an AI-native agent programming language — engineered for the next century of finance.

ProbeChain is not an incremental improvement. It is a complete paradigm departure — rebuilding distributed ledger technology from the laws of physics upward.
Native CRYSTALS-Dilithium (ML-DSA) signatures at the consensus layer. Falcon-512, SLH-DSA (SPHINCS+) verification opcodes in the VM. Every transaction is quantum-safe by default.
AtomicTime nanosecond timestamps (17-byte precision) with GPS, GNSS, Cesium, Rubidium, and Crystal clock sources. Sub-microsecond ordering guarantees even across continents.
RadioEncap protocol spans HF through THz bands with Rydberg atomic receivers. Block propagation continues even when the entire internet is down — resilience at the physics layer.
The PROBE Language — an agent-first programming language with linear types, a register-based VM (256 registers, 64-bit words), and native PQC crypto opcodes. Built for AI agents to write, verify, and execute.
Four breakthrough technologies that make ProbeChain the most resilient financial infrastructure ever engineered.
ProbeChain completely abandons elliptic curve cryptography. All account ownership proofs and asset transfers are secured by NIST-standardized CRYSTALS-Dilithium lattice-based signatures, protected by SVP and LWE mathematical hardness.
Every block carries a 17-byte AtomicTime timestamp with nanosecond precision and light-delay compensation. Five clock sources (GPS, GNSS, Cesium, Rubidium, Crystal) provide cross-validated timing even in contested environments.
The RadioEncap protocol encapsulates blocks for transmission across six RF bands — from HF (3-30 MHz) to THz. Rydberg atomic receivers achieve quantum-limited sensitivity. When fiber and satellite fail, consensus continues over radio.
Proof-of-Behavior consensus with five-dimension behavioral scoring (liveness, correctness, cooperation, consistency, signal sovereignty). Pipelined block production with reduced ACK quorum achieves sub-second transaction finality.
Three core products that demonstrate what Stellar-Class infrastructure enables.
Professional-grade trading terminal with AI agent integration, post-quantum secure authentication, and direct Superlight DEX access.
Native on-chain decentralized exchange with dedicated transaction type. Zero MEV by design — order execution is deterministic and verifiable.
Hardware validators with integrated Rydberg receivers, atomic clocks, and RF transceivers. Deploy anywhere — from data centers to mountain peaks.
Five-layer stack from physical resilience to AI agent execution
ProbeChain's unique combination of post-quantum security, sub-second finality, and RF resilience enables use cases no other blockchain can address.
When earthquakes, hurricanes, or conflict sever fiber optic cables and satellite links, ProbeChain's RadioEncap protocol maintains financial settlement over HF/VHF radio. Emergency payments, insurance claims, and supply chain tracking continue operating through Rydberg atomic receivers.
AtomicTime's nanosecond timestamps with light-delay compensation enable precise transaction ordering across Earth-Moon and Earth-Mars distances. The first blockchain designed to handle relativistic time dilation for space commerce and inter-colony resource allocation.
PROBE Language's first-class agent primitives (spawn, send, recv) let AI agents autonomously discover services, negotiate prices, and execute trades. Linear types guarantee resource safety — tokens can't be duplicated or lost, even by buggy agents. Native PQC keeps agent-to-agent payments quantum-safe.
Government-grade digital identity secured by ML-DSA (Dilithium) signatures that will remain safe for decades. Unlike ECDSA-based systems, ProbeChain identities are immune to quantum computer attacks. Ideal for national ID systems, professional credentials, and long-term legal records.
400ms block finality enables true real-time streaming payments. Pay-per-second content streaming, IoT device metering, API call billing, and gaming micro-transactions — all settled on-chain with sub-second confirmation. The Superlight DEX handles atomic swaps natively.
Remote communities, maritime vessels, and disaster zones can run full validator nodes with Smart Physical Nodes. Rydberg RF transceivers provide long-range connectivity without internet infrastructure. Financial sovereignty without dependence on centralized telecom or cloud providers.

}An agent-first programming language with linear types and native post-quantum cryptography.
Key features: Linear type system (Move-inspired resource safety), register-based VM (256 registers, 64-bit words, 71 opcodes), native PQC verification opcodes (Falcon-512, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA), first-class agent primitives (spawn, send, recv), ASCII-only BPE-aligned syntax (~70 tokens/task for LLM code generation), and bytecode-level verification.
// Agent definition with state agent Echo { state { count: u64, } msg handle(data: bytes) -> bytes { self.count += 1; data } } // Linear resource type — cannot be duplicated or lost resource Token { balance: u64, } // Transfer with resource safety guarantee fn transfer(from: &mut Token, to: &mut Token, amount: u64) { require(from.balance >= amount, "insufficient balance"); from.balance -= amount; to.balance += amount; }
Register-based virtual machine with 71 opcodes across 10 categories.
The PROBE VM uses 256 general-purpose 64-bit registers instead of the EVM's 256-bit stack. This maps directly to modern CPU architectures and enables efficient JIT compilation. Native PQC opcodes verify Falcon-512, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA signatures without external precompiles.
// 71 Opcodes in 10 Categories Arithmetic : add, sub, mul, div, mod, neg Bitwise : and, or, xor, not, shl, shr Comparison : eq, neq, lt, lte, gt, gte Control : jump, jump_if, call, return, halt Memory : alloc, free, load_mem, store_mem Agent : spawn, send, recv, self Blockchain : balance, transfer, emit, block_num Crypto : sha3, shake256, falcon512_verify, ml_dsa_verify, slh_dsa_verify Resources : resource_new, resource_drop, resource_check Array : array_new, array_get, array_set, array_len
From source code to verified bytecode in 8 stages.
Optimization passes: Sparse Conditional Constant Propagation (SCCP), Dead Code Elimination (DCE), Common Subexpression Elimination (CSE). The bytecode verifier (Move-inspired) guarantees safety even for buggy compiler output — no resource leaks, no type confusion, no stack overflows.

Core endpoints for interacting with ProbeChain nodes.

Deploys PROBE Language bytecode as a smart contract. Returns the contract address.
Five-dimension behavioral scoring replaces energy-intensive mining.
Validators are continuously evaluated across five behavioral dimensions. The total score (max 10,000) determines block production priority and reward allocation. Misbehavior triggers score-based slashing with potential demotion from the active validator set.
