How is this ecosystem directory curated?

Entries are hand-picked by the Quantascan operators. The foundation, official channels, established wallets, and community tooling with public repos are included by default. New projects are added on request — we don't take payment for placement.

Does inclusion mean endorsement?

No. This is a directory, not a recommendation. Community projects vary widely in maintenance status, custody model, and trust assumptions — read each one's docs and source before using it for anything that matters. For on-chain contracts, our contract verification explainer covers what 'verified' does and doesn't prove.

New to QRL — where should I start?

If you're new, read what is QRL and the rest of the Learn guides before picking wallets or tooling here. They explain the two chains, quantum resistance, and how to read on-chain data in plain English.

I run a QRL-related project — how do I get listed?

Open an issue or pull request against `app/partners/_partners.yaml` in our GitLab repository, or reach out via the contact channels on the about page. Provide a URL, a 1-2 sentence description, and the category that fits best (wallet, tooling, social, community, …).

Where are the exchanges?

Centralised exchanges and swap providers / fiat on-ramps live on a separate /exchanges page. Splitting them out keeps the ecosystem directory focused on the protocol side — and gives a clearer answer to the most common question, 'where can I buy QRL?'.

How current is this data?

The directory is a hand-maintained file (not auto-scraped). Edits propagate to the live page within an hour. Last-updated dates aren't tracked per entry yet — that's on the roadmap.

QRL ecosystem

The QRL ecosystem spans the theQRL Foundation that stewards the protocol, the wallets that hold your QRL, the explorers and developer tooling around the chain, and the official channels and community projects building on it. This hand-curated directory groups 12 projects into 5 categories. Looking to buy QRL? See exchanges and on-ramps.
