MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641061049 A) filed by Cvr College Of Engineering, Hyderabad, Telangana, on May 14, for 'quantum-resistant blockchain consensus mechanism with hierarchical validation for secure financial transaction processing.'

Inventor(s) include A. Vani Vathsala.

The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a blockchain consensus technique with a hierarchical validation architecture that is quantum resistant for securing financial transactions against cryptanalytic threats arising from advanced quantum computing. The solution is based on lattice-based Module Learning utilising Errors cryptography with signature aggregation and batch verification optimisations to deliver realistic performance under the post-quantum computational cost. The validator hierarchy is tri-layered with nodes categorised according on their bonding commitments computational capabilities, and transactions routed dynamically based on value and risk factors. Cross-chain atomic swap protocols allow for secure interoperability between different blockchains without trusted intermediaries. Decentralised governance enables protocol development via quadratic voting and multi-sig emergency upgrades. The system offers 256-bit post-quantum security, enabling the processing of thousands of transactions per second, while overcoming the main weaknesses of existing blockchains and providing a secure and seamless transition to a quantum resilient financial infrastructure."
