Transaction Processing
Overview
QuStream’s Layer 1 blockchain is designed for fast, efficient, and quantum-safe transaction processing. By leveraging delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS), parallel processing, and encryption nodes, the network ensures secure and scalable execution of transactions.
How Transactions Are Processed in QuStream
QuStream transactions can be initiated by blockchain users, institutional clients, or third-party integrations, ensuring flexibility across different industries.
1️⃣ Transaction Submission
- A user submits a transaction request (e.g., sending QST, executing a smart contract, or requesting encryption).
- The request is broadcasted to the Validator Nodes for validation.
2️⃣ Validation & Block Inclusion
- Validator Nodes verify:
✅ Transaction authenticity (ensuring it follows consensus rules).
✅ Sufficient balance (for payments and gas fees).
✅ Encryption security (if encryption services are used). - Valid transactions are batched into blocks and proposed for finalization.
3️⃣ Encryption Node Interaction
- If encryption services are required (e.g., private transaction or key request):
- Validator Nodes send the encryption request to Encryption Nodes.
- Encryption Nodes generate a quantum-safe dynamic key.
- The generated key is securely returned to the approved device/user.

4️⃣ Block Finalization & State Update
- Transactions are finalized within seconds using dPoS consensus.
- The blockchain state is updated to reflect new balances, smart contract states, and encryption records.
- Users receive confirmation that their transaction has been successfully recorded.
Why QuStream’s Transaction Processing is Unique
✅ Quantum-Safe Encryption Integration
Unlike traditional blockchains, QuStream validates and secures encryption requests within its transaction layer.
✅ Dual-Network Processing (Validators & Encryption Nodes)
Separation of blockchain validation and encryption tasks ensures high efficiency and enhanced security.
✅ Fast Finality & Low Latency
Delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) allows transactions to be confirmed within seconds, reducing bottlenecks.
✅ Scalability with Sharding
Transactions & encryption requests are processed in parallel, reducing congestion and improving throughput.
Conclusion
QuStream’s transaction processing model combines speed, security, and quantum resistance, ensuring that every blockchain interaction remains encrypted, efficient, and future-proof.
