The Crypto Company (OTCID: CRCW) has announced that its Frame testnet is now live in private beta, marking a significant advancement in blockchain technology. Frame is a quantum-resistant Layer 1 blockchain designed to enable people, businesses, and AI agents to build, bridge, and trade across chains without friction. At the time of release, the testnet has already processed over 7 million quantum-resistant test transactions, demonstrating its potential to address critical challenges in the blockchain industry.
The launch matters because today's blockchain ecosystems operate in silos, forcing builders to choose a single chain and traders to navigate fragmented liquidity. Moving value between chains often requires trusting third-party bridges, which have been vulnerable to hacks and inefficiencies. Frame aims to connect these separate ecosystems into a single interoperable network, making cross-chain transactions as seamless as operating on one chain. This could reduce friction, enhance security, and unlock new possibilities for decentralized finance and beyond.
Quantum resistance is a key differentiator. Frame is built to remain secure as quantum computers advance, using ML-DSA-87, the highest-security level of NIST's post-quantum digital signature standard (FIPS 204). This means Frame wallets are designed to avoid migration, unlike older chains that may need to move users to new wallets if quantum threats emerge. "We set out to build a Layer 1 that is quantum-resistant from genesis, and now we have one, designed for settlement in under two seconds," said Sean Docherty, Chief Blockchain Officer of TCC. "That combination lets people and agents move across chains without waiting, and without worrying about tomorrow's threats."
Speed and efficiency are also central to Frame's design. The network targets settlement in under two seconds, with a single signature moving value across chains, settled by Frame's own validators without third-party bridges holding assets. Transactions are designed to avoid public queues, reducing front-running risks. "Frame's testnet going live is a real milestone, and I am excited about how far the team has come and what Frame is going to be," said Ron Levy, Chief Executive Officer of TCC. "It is amazing to watch transactions flowing on-chain and see people lighting up when they experience for themselves what this platform really unlocks."
The private testnet phase includes post-quantum transactions, Frame Wallet, Frame Names, and a decentralized exchange (DEX). Later phases on the roadmap include a mainnet launch, cross-chain unified liquidity, and the ability for individuals and businesses to build applications on Frame, tapping into users and volume from connected chains. Builders, traders, and others interested can join the waitlist at https://frame.community to be notified when testnet invitations become available. The community is also active on Telegram and Discord, linked from the site.
For The Crypto Company, a publicly traded firm focused on blockchain infrastructure since 2017, the Frame testnet represents a major step toward realizing its vision of an interconnected blockchain ecosystem. The successful processing of over 7 million test transactions underscores the network's readiness and potential for adoption. As the blockchain industry continues to evolve, Frame's quantum-resistant and interoperable approach could set a new standard for security and functionality.
