Abstract generation in progress

HYLQ Strategy Corp has completed a strategic digital asset investment in Quantum Labs Foundation, acquiring qONE tokens tied to the qLABS ecosystem through an over-the-counter transaction.

The qONE token, which trades on the Hyperliquid platform, serves as the native utility token of the qLABS ecosystem. With this move, HYLQ becomes the second public company to invest in quantum-safe tokens. qLABS partner 01 Quantum, a founding member of the initiative, is also a holder of qONE.

According to the company’s press release, HYLQ purchased 18,333,334 qONE tokens at an aggregate price of $0.006 per token, representing a total investment of $100,000, including bonus tokens. The transaction was executed directly with the Quantum Labs Foundation and settled in USDC.

The foundation is also developing a Layer-1 Migration Toolkit aimed at helping existing blockchains transition their core infrastructure to quantum-resistant cryptography ahead of the anticipated “Q-Day,” the moment when quantum computers are expected to gain sufficient power to break current cryptographic standards.

Launched on Hyperliquid on February 6, 2026, the qONE token grants access to quantum-resilient wallet features, protocol governance, and the broader infrastructure developed by qLABS. The project leverages IronCAP™ by 01 Quantum Inc., a NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography system.

HYLQ Strategy CEO Matt Zahab stated that as quantum computing progresses toward Q-Day, safeguarding digital assets from quantum threats is becoming increasingly critical. He added that qLABS is addressing a systemic risk facing the blockchain industry by building foundational quantum-resistant infrastructure directly within the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
