- The Crypto Company (OTC: CRCW) disclosed that Frame, its quantum-resistant Layer 1 blockchain, is now live in private beta and has processed more than 7 million test transactions
- Frame uses ML-DSA-87, NIST’s post-quantum digital signature standard under FIPS 204, and is designed for settlement under two seconds
- The testnet includes a Frame Wallet, Frame Names, and a decentralized exchange, with a public waitlist open at frame.community ahead of a planned mainnet launch
The Crypto Company disclosed in a Regulation FD filing submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 30, 2026 that Frame, the quantum-resistant Layer 1 blockchain it has been building, is now live in private beta and has successfully processed more than 7 million test transactions.
Frame is designed as a cross-chain settlement network intended to let people, businesses, and AI agents transact across otherwise-separate blockchain economies without relying on third-party bridges, which the company’s disclosure frames as a persistent source of liquidity fragmentation and security risk across the industry. Transactions on Frame use ML-DSA-87, the post-quantum digital signature standard formalized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology under FIPS 204, and the network is engineered for settlement finality in under two seconds.
The filing describes Frame’s core problem statement as blockchain fragmentation: each chain today functions as a separate, siloed economy, and moving assets between them typically requires trusting a bridge, a category of infrastructure that has been repeatedly targeted in major crypto hacks. Frame’s pitch is to connect these ecosystems into a single interoperable network rather than stitching them together after the fact with bridging contracts bolted onto each chain.
Alongside the core protocol, the private beta includes a Frame Wallet, a naming system called Frame Names, and a built-in decentralized exchange, giving early testers a working application layer rather than just raw settlement infrastructure to evaluate. The company is directing interested developers and users to a waitlist at frame.community, with the filing indicating that mainnet launch and additional features are planned for later phases of the rollout.
The Crypto Company, founded in 2017 and publicly traded on the OTC market, is a considerably smaller and less prominent player than the venture-backed Layer 1 projects that have dominated recent blockchain launches, and Frame’s 7 million test transactions remain a private-beta figure rather than evidence of real economic activity or mainnet security under adversarial conditions. Post-quantum cryptography has nonetheless become a growing focus across the broader blockchain industry, with the Ethereum Foundation and others publicly setting their own timelines to harden existing networks against the theoretical future threat a sufficiently powerful quantum computer would pose to today’s signature schemes, and Frame’s private beta adds one more entrant to that early field.
