Quantum-Secure Smart Contracts

Introduction

Quantum-secure smart Contracts (QSSCs) are next-generation decentralized applications (dApps) that leverage quantum-resistant cryptographic techniques, advanced zero-knowledge proofs, and hybrid quantum-classical execution to provide ultra-secure, scalable, and future-proof contract execution.

Traditional smart contracts suffer from:

• Security vulnerabilities against quantum-based attacks
• High gas costs due to computational inefficiencies
• Slow execution speeds leading to blockchain congestion
• Limited scalability for enterprise adoption

NovaNet’s Quantum-Secure Smart Contracts (QSSC) solve these issues by:

• Integrating Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) for transaction security
• Using Quantum-Assisted Execution Layer (QAEL) for faster processing
• Ensuring Privacy with Post-Quantum Zero-Knowledge Proofs (PQ-ZKPs)
• Reducing gas costs through Quantum Dot Processing Units (QD-PUs)

1. How Quantum-Secure Smart Contracts Work

1.1 Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) for Contract Security

NovaNet replaces vulnerable ECDSA-based cryptographic signatures with Lattice-Based Cryptography (LBC), XMSS, and SPHINCS+, ensuring smart contract security even in a post-quantum world.

Mathematical Model for Post-Quantum Digital Signatures:

A contract signature $$\sigma$$ is computed as:

$$\sigma = H_{LBC}(C) \cdot S + e$$

Where:

• $$H_{LBC}$$ is a lattice-based cryptographic hash function
• $$C$$ is the smart contract code
• $$S$$ is the private signing key
• $$e$$ is the error vector ensuring post-quantum security

• Prevents quantum-based signature forgery and contract manipulation

1.2 Quantum-Assisted Execution for Smart Contracts

NovaNet’s Quantum-Assisted Execution Layer (QAEL) enhances contract performance by optimizing execution logic using quantum parallelism.

• Smart contracts process transactions faster using Quantum Dot Processing Units (QD-PUs)
• AI-driven execution reduces unnecessary computational overhead

Execution Optimization Model:

$$Q_{exec} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{N}} \sum_{i=1}^{N} |T_i\rangle$$

Where:

• $$Q_{exec}$$ represents quantum-accelerated contract execution
• $$T_i$$ represents individual transactions in the contract
• $$\sqrt{N}$$ denotes quantum-enhanced parallel execution

• Enables large-scale DeFi, AI-powered dApps, and enterprise-grade contracts

1.3 Post-Quantum Zero-Knowledge Proofs (PQ-ZKPs) for Privacy

NovaNet enhances contract privacy with Quantum-Resistant Zero-Knowledge Proofs (PQ-ZKPs), allowing users to verify contract conditions without revealing sensitive data.

• Protects contract data from quantum-based decryption attacks
• Ensures anonymous transaction verification on-chain

Mathematical Model for PQ-ZKPs:

A smart contract proof $$ZK_{proof}$$ is computed as:

$$ZK_{proof} = H_q (C, R_{challenge})$$

Where:

• $$H_q$$ is a quantum-resistant hash function
• $$C$$ is the smart contract logic
• $$R_{challenge}$$ is the random challenge value

• Ensures private, verifiable execution of sensitive contract functions

1.4 Gasless Transactions & Cost Optimization

NovaNet introduces gasless contract execution using Quantum Batch Processing, where multiple contract transactions are combined into quantum-optimized batches, minimizing network congestion.

• Significantly reduces gas fees for enterprise smart contract adoption
• Prevents overuse of blockchain resources through efficient transaction scheduling

Gas Fee Reduction Model:

$$G_{QSSC} = G_c \times (1 - \alpha_{AI})$$

Where:

• $$G_{QSSC}$$* is the optimized gas fee for Quantum-Secure Smart Contracts
• $$G_c$$ is the base gas fee for classical execution
• $$\alpha_{AI}$$ is the AI-driven scaling factor

• Reduces costs for high-volume smart contract executions
