Tezos opened Quantumnet, its experimental post-quantum preview network, to bakers for testing on October 24, 2026. [TradingView](https://www.tradingview.com/news/coindar:adf2ca523094b:0-tezos-opened-quantumnet-for-testing/) reported the opening, citing the official Tezos account. The network is an early implementation built to be tested, with bakers able to try it.

## What Quantumnet Lets Bakers Test

[Tezos](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000066s/tezos) described Quantumnet as its experimental post-quantum previewnet. In a post on X on October 24, 2026, the Tezos account wrote: "That's why post quantum work on Tezos started early." The same post said Quantumnet is "rough around the edges, and built to be tested."

Bakers on Tezos create, sign and publish new blocks and endorse blocks produced by other bakers. Participants holding more than 6,000 Tez can become delegates, or bakers, under the network's Liquid Proof of Stake mechanism. The preview network is an early implementation intended for testing, and bakers can try it.

Tezos is an open-source, proof-of-stake blockchain protocol stewarded by the Swiss Tezos Foundation. It offers self-amending governance, formal-verified smart contracts, an EVM-compatible Layer 2 called Etherlink, and real-world asset tokenization for developers, validators and institutional partners.
