Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about QFS Wallet, quantum security, and our wallet services.

General Questions

What is QFS Wallet?

QFS(Quantum Financial System) Wallet is the world's first quantum-secured cryptocurrency wallet. We provide institutional-grade protection for digital assets using NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography, protecting your funds from future quantum computing threats.

How is QFS different from other wallets?

Unlike traditional wallets that use RSA or ECC encryption (vulnerable to quantum computers), QFS Wallet uses CRYSTALS-Kyber - the NIST-approved post-quantum standard. We also offer institutional features like multi-signature, quantum cold storage, and $500M insurance.

Is QFS available in my country?

QFS Wallet System is available in over 100 countries worldwide. Our services are global, and we have physical offices in Zurich, Singapore, and New York serving clients across all time zones.

Do you have a mobile app?

Yes! QFS Wallet is available on iOS and Android. Download from the App Store or Google Play Store. All mobile apps include the same quantum security features as our web platform.

Security & Privacy

How does quantum security work?

QFS uses lattice-based cryptography (CRYSTALS-Kyber) which is resistant to attacks from quantum computers. Unlike RSA and ECC that can be broken by Shor's algorithm, lattice problems remain hard even for quantum computers. Our implementation is NIST-approved and regularly audited.

Is my wallet insured?

Yes! All funds in QFS wallets are covered by our $500M insurance policy through Lloyd's of London. This covers both hot and cold wallet assets against internal and external security breaches.

What is cold storage?

Cold storage means your funds are kept in offline, air-gapped vaults physically disconnected from the internet. QFS stores 98% of funds in quantum-secured cold storage across multiple secure facilities in Switzerland, Singapore, and the United States.

How do I enable 2FA?

Go to Security Settings in your account. You can enable multi-factor authentication using:
- Biometric (FaceID/TouchID)
- Hardware security keys (YubiKey)
- Quantum OTP (time-based one-time passwords)
- SMS/Email backup codes

Are my private keys safe?

Your private keys are encrypted with quantum-resistant algorithms and split into multiple shards using Shamir's Secret Sharing. No single person or system has access to complete keys. You always maintain full control and ownership.

How often are you audited?

We undergo third-party security audits quarterly from leading firms including Trail of Bits, CertiK, and Deloitte. All audit reports are published and available for download in our Security Center.

Accounts & Registration

How do I create an account?

Click "Get Started" and follow these steps:
1. Enter your email address
2. Create a strong password (min 12 characters)
3. Complete the verification (optional)
4. Secure your account with 2FA
5. Generate your quantum wallet
The process takes less than 2 minutes.

Is KYC required?

KYC is optional for basic accounts. For transactions under $10,000, no KYC is needed. For higher limits or institutional accounts, we may require verification to comply with regulations.

I forgot my password. What should I do?

Click "Forgot Password" on the login page. You'll receive a password reset email. For security reasons, we recommend using a password manager and enabling 2FA after resetting.

Can I have multiple wallets?

Yes! You can create multiple wallets within your account for different purposes - personal, business, savings, etc. Each wallet has its own quantum keys and can be secured separately.

Deposits & Withdrawals

What are the deposit fees?

Deposits are free! QFS charges zero fees for incoming transfers. Network fees (gas) still apply based on the blockchain you're using (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.).

How long do deposits take?

Deposit times vary by network:
- Solana (SOL): 3-5 seconds
- XRP/XLM: 3-5 seconds
- BSC (BNB): 3-5 seconds
- Ethereum (ETH): 2-5 minutes
- Bitcoin (BTC): 10-60 minutes
Once confirmed on the network, funds appear instantly in your wallet.

What are the withdrawal limits?

Withdrawal limits depend on your account level:
- Basic: Up to $10,000/day
- Verified: Up to $100,000/day
- Institutional: Custom limits
Higher limits can be requested through our support team.

Can I cancel a withdrawal?

Withdrawals can be cancelled only if they are still pending and not yet broadcast to the blockchain. Once submitted to the network, they cannot be reversed. Always double-check addresses!

Supported Tokens

What cryptocurrencies do you support?

QFS supports 100+ cryptocurrencies including:
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- Ethereum (ETH)
- XRP (XRP)
- Stellar (XLM)
- Solana (SOL)
- BNB (BNB)
- USDT, USDC, DAI
And all major ERC-20, BEP-20, and SPL tokens.

Do you support ERC-20 tokens?

Yes! All ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum are supported. You can store, send, and receive any token built on the Ethereum network.

Do you support BEP-20 tokens?

Yes! All BEP-20 tokens on BNB Smart Chain are supported. This includes popular tokens like CAKE, BUSD, and many others.

Do you support Solana SPL tokens?

Yes! All SPL tokens on Solana are supported. You can manage tokens like RAY, SRM, ORCA, and more directly from your wallet.

Technical Questions

What is CRYSTALS-Kyber?

CRYSTALS-Kyber is a lattice-based key encapsulation mechanism selected by NIST as the standard for post-quantum cryptography. It provides security against both classical and quantum computers and is the primary encryption algorithm used by QFS.

Can I use a hardware wallet?

Yes! QFS supports Ledger and Trezor hardware wallets. You can connect your hardware device for added security while still benefiting from our quantum-secured interface.

Is QFS open source?

Key components of our security infrastructure are open source for transparency and peer review. You can view our code on GitHub. Some proprietary optimizations remain private for security reasons.

What happens if quantum computers arrive?

QFS is already quantum-resistant! Unlike traditional wallets that will become vulnerable, QFS uses NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography. Your assets remain safe even when large-scale quantum computers exist.

Do you offer institutional custody?

Yes! QFS Prime is our institutional-grade custody solution featuring:
- Multi-signature wallets
