Postquant Labs Launches Quantum Echoes, a Quantum-Generated Digital Collectible on Ethereum

digital · 2026-09-10

On September 10, 2026, Postquant Labs unveiled Quantum Echoes, a series of Quantum Forged Tokens (QFTs) created from actual measurements taken from gate-based quantum hardware. This collection will be available for free minting on Ethereum through OpenSea, allowing collectors to participate at no charge. Each token incorporates physically unclonable quantum information. The initiative also marks the launch of Quip Network's second subnet for random circuit sampling, which allows quantum computers to generate randomness and earn token revenue. CEO Colton Dillion pointed out the economic opportunities presented by quantum hardware, while CTO Dr. Richard Carback noted its application in cryptographically secure random number generation. A free mint queue is available, with 1,000 exclusive items reserved for Eigen Key holders. QFTs are designed to support applications that require verifiable randomness.

Key facts

  • Postquant Labs announced Quantum Echoes on September 10, 2026, from Casper, Wyoming, USA.
  • Quantum Echoes is a digital collectible collection using verifiable measurements from gate-based quantum hardware.
  • The assets are called Quantum Forged Tokens (QFTs).
  • The collection launches as a free open-edition mint on Ethereum through OpenSea.
  • Quantum Echoes marks the launch of Quip Network's second subnet, a random circuit sampling subnet for verifiable quantum randomness at scale.
  • The subnet allows participating quantum computers to supply randomness and earn token revenue.
  • Postquant Labs says this is the first of several planned subnets targeting gate-based quantum hardware, including IBM and IonQ systems.
  • Colton Dillion is CEO and co-founder of Postquant Labs; Dr. Richard Carback is CTO and co-founder.
  • Eigen Keys guarantee a rare edition at reveal; the rare edition consists of 1,000 items.
  • Holders can reveal QFTs at echoes.quip.network approximately one week after the mint.
