PANews reported on April 3 that, according to EIN Presswire, Diamante Financial Technologies, a developer of quantum-safe Layer 1 blockchain, has completed a $1.5 million strategic funding round, with Jefferson Capital founder Khofiz Shakhidi as the investor.

Diamante reportedly uses post-quantum cryptography (FIPS 204) certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
