A Quantum-encrypted Blockchain Based on Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) Extension
depending on the encryption algorithms based on the one-way mathematical calculation difficulty
is vulnerable to the attack under exponential acceleration of quantum computers. Although a series of anti-quantum attack blockchains have been proposed
they are often too expensive to build and are not conducive to popularization. In this regard
a quantum-encrypted blockchain based on delegated proof of stake (DPoS) extension is proposed. Comparing with the original quantum-secured blockchain proposed by Kiktenko
the number of quantum key distribution (QKD) channels needed to be built is reduced from
