what's Abelian?

Abelian is a Layer 1 blockchain engineered for quantum resistance and privacy preservation, utilizing post-quantum cryptographic primitives such as the NIST-standardized lattice-based schemes CRYSTALS-Dilithium for signatures and Kyber for key encapsulation. Its Proof-of-Work consensus is GPU-friendly and Ethereum 1.0 compatible, ensuring long-term security against adversarial quantum attacks while maintaining high performance. The platform features a Multi-Layer Privacy (MLP) architecture with flexible transaction modes: pseudonymous for basic anonymity, fully shielded for complete privacy, and accountable for compliant scenarios using linkable ring signatures. The native token ABEL functions as a store of value and network gas fee, supporting mathematically proven security reductions to well-established quantum-hard problems. Future plans include a Proof-of-Stake migration and EVM-compatible Layer 2 deployments.
