The Crypto Company (OTCID: CRCW) announced that Frame, the post-quantum Layer 1 blockchain it acquired in March 2026, has advanced to V3 of its private testnet and processed more than 13 million on-chain test transactions. The milestone comes under a $50 million-plus milestone-based share agreement through which TCC acquired the core technology and assets of Frame Holdings Ltd. earlier this year.
V3 introduces two major capabilities: cross-chain swaps now route through Frame itself in a single transaction without a third-party bridge holding assets, and every account on V3 signs using the US government's NIST ML-DSA-87 post-quantum signature standard. The company said V3 is a test environment and activity has no monetary value, but it brings Frame closer to a wide-scale mainnet launch.
"We signed that agreement in March, and then we put our heads down and went to work," said Ron Levy, Chief Executive Officer of TCC. "Three testnet builds, more than 13 million post-quantum test transactions on chain, and cross-chain swaps now running through Frame itself. V3 marks a major milestone towards that and we couldn't be more proud."
Sean Docherty, Chief Blockchain Officer of TCC, said the integration has accelerated development. "We have shipped three builds since March. V3 is the one that proves the thesis. A user sends value from one chain to another in a single transaction and our own validators settle it with post-quantum consensus. That is the hard part, and it is running on the testnet today."
The announcement matters for the broader blockchain industry because it demonstrates a working testnet that combines post-quantum cryptography with native cross-chain settlement, two features that address growing concerns about quantum computing threats and the fragmentation of liquidity across chains. If Frame's mainnet delivers similar performance, it could offer an alternative to bridge-based interoperability models that have suffered high-profile exploits. For TCC, the progress is tied to the milestone-based share agreement, meaning achievement of performance and adoption targets could affect future share issuances. The company cautioned that testnet results may not reflect mainnet performance and that risks remain, including the timing and outcome of later development phases and market adoption of blockchain infrastructure.
