TESTNET T3

The fourth testnet of Doge Protocol, codenamed as T3 was released on Feb 22nd, 2023 (the genesis block was created a few days before this). This blockchain features hybrid post-quantum cryptography and adds on to existing features like Smart Contract and Token support. This blockchain node clients are available for download ... T3 uses the Hybrid PQC digital signature algorithm to secure accounts. This asymmetric cryptography scheme uses a hybrid Falcon-ed25519 combo for signing transactions and securing wallets. Falcon is a digital signature scheme that has been standardized by NIST while EdDSA (ed25519) has been selected Feb 2023 by NIST for inclusion in the FIPS 186-5 standard... It is preferable to use a hybrid signature scheme that uses two crypto schemes behind the scenes: a PQC scheme and a classical scheme (EdDSA). This hybrid model is required to provide a hedge against Lattice based cryptography schemes such as Falcon getting broken on classical computers in the interim.
