The Crypto Company (OTCID: CRCW) announced that its Frame testnet is now live in private beta, marking a significant step toward a quantum-resistant, interoperable Layer 1 blockchain. According to the company, the testnet has already processed over 7 million quantum-resistant test transactions, demonstrating the network's potential to handle secure, high-volume activity. This matters because quantum computers threaten to break the cryptographic signatures that secure most blockchains today. Frame is designed to be quantum-resistant from its genesis block, using ML-DSA-87, the highest security level of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's post-quantum digital signature standard (FIPS 204), which is based on CRYSTALS-Dilithium. That means Frame wallets are built so they should not need to be migrated, unlike chains built before these standards, which may have to move users to new wallets if quantum threats materialize.
Beyond quantum resistance, Frame aims to solve another major pain point: blockchain fragmentation. Today, each blockchain operates as its own economy, and moving value between them often requires trusting third-party bridges. Builders must choose a single chain to build on, and traders face liquidity split across networks. Frame is designed to connect these separate ecosystems into a single interoperable network, so that doing business across chains feels like doing business on just one. "Frame's testnet going live is a real milestone, and I am excited about how far the team has come and what Frame is going to be," said Ron Levy, Chief Executive Officer of TCC. "It is amazing to watch transactions flowing on-chain and see people lighting up when they experience for themselves what this platform really unlocks."
Speed is another core feature. The network is designed for settlement in under two seconds. One signature is intended to move value from one chain to another, settled by Frame's own validators, with no third-party bridge holding the assets. Transactions are designed not to wait in a public queue, which closes the opening for front-running. "We set out to build a Layer 1 that is quantum-resistant from genesis, and now we have one, designed for settlement in under two seconds," said Sean Docherty, Chief Blockchain Officer of TCC. "That combination lets people and agents move across chains without waiting, and without worrying about tomorrow's threats."
The private testnet phase includes post-quantum transactions, Frame Wallet, Frame Names, and a decentralized exchange (DEX). Later phases on Frame's roadmap include a mainnet launch, cross-chain unified liquidity, and the ability for individuals and businesses to build their own applications on top of Frame, reaching users and transaction volume from every connected chain. Builders, traders, and anyone interested in Frame can join the waitlist at the recently updated https://frame.community to be notified when a testnet invitation is ready. Invitations will be sent to waitlist members as they become available. Frame's community is also on Telegram and Discord, linked from the site.
For a market that increasingly demands both security and interoperability, Frame's private beta represents a notable test of whether a quantum-resistant, cross-chain Layer 1 can deliver on its promises. The original release is available on NEWMEDIAWIRE.
