SQE is a quantum-secure cybersecurity company building the infrastructure to eliminate encryption key vulnerabilities, the root cause of most enterprise breaches. QueSAFE is SQE’s hardware security platform, delivering that same keyless architecture in physical devices built for developers, enterprises, and security researchers. QueSAFE developed QueRNG as the first in a suite of products, and this is your chance to put it to the test.
~$10,000
The grand prize - approximately $10,000 in ETH - is locked inside every QueRNG device as an encrypted wallet address. Decrypt the address and the prize is yours to retrieve. (Value as of 6/1/2026)
// what is queRNG
A Quantum-Level Entropy Engine. The Size of a Thumb Drive.
QueRNG is a hardware-based quantum-secure module that produces high-quality random numbers using a combination of pseudo-random and quantum processes. It meets or exceeds all NIST entropy benchmarks and delivers 1 Mbps of genuine quantum-level randomness via USB.
Every QueRNG carries a permanent, non-replicable 1,024-bit SQid identity rooted in the chip, the same keyless identity architecture powering SQE's enterprise security platform.
The QueHackathon edition includes a second function: a continuously encrypted wallet address embedded in every packet. It rotates. It evolves. Your job: crack it.
*If the competition ends with no winner, a 3rd function (CMD 3) will be provided to reveal the unencrypted wallet.

// how it works
Three Functions. One Device.
01
Plug In
Connect QueRNG via USB 2.0. Your device is instantly recognized with its permanent 1,024-bit SQid identity. No drivers. No configuration.
02
Generate Entropy (get_rand)
QueRNG begins producing quantum-level random bits at 1 Mbps. The seed changes every power cycle. Use this entropy in apps, wallets, protocols, or security testing.
03
Hack Encrypted Wallet Address (get_next)
04
Reveal Address (get_rev)
If the competition ends with no winner, a 3rd function (CMD 3) will be provided to reveal the unencrypted wallet.

~$10,000 ETH
Encrypted Wallet Challenge
An encrypted wallet address is embedded in every packet transmitted by your QueRNG device. Decrypt the address and the approximately $10,000 in ETH is yours to retrieve directly — no form, no contact with SQE required.

Additional note about SQbits:
SQE generates value through a time-dependent discovery process rather than brute-force computation. Any entropy source can be used to propose candidates, but only a small fraction pass a simple rule filter, controlling the rate of discovery. Those candidates are then evolved through an irreversible system (based on Cellular Automata), where information is lost – so outcomes can be verified but not predicted or reverse-engineered. Each successful result becomes a unique high-entropy seed, which deterministically creates an SQid (identity). Participation is tied to these identities, each with limited devices, preventing large-scale parallelization. From this identity layer, SQBit is minted as the economic output – meaning tokens are not mined by compute, but produced through identity-bound participation over time.

// frequently asked
Questions Answered.
How do I claim the grand prize?
What are QueSeeds and are they worth anything?
QueSeeds are 1,024-bit numbers that serve as your stake in the SQE network. When the SQE network launches, SQbits will be redeemable for platform services or may be transferable between users or listed on third party platforms, subject to applicable laws. QueSeeds/SQbits are not eligible for return to SQE.They are utility tokens — not investment products, not securities.
When will my device ship?
QueRNG devices will be shipped to participants starting June 1, 2026 until end of the competition.
Can I submit multiple challenge categories?
What does the Validation and Transparency Guidelines document cover?
It covers submission standards, evidence requirements, acceptable methodology, responsible disclosure for bug reports, token distribution conditions, and the legal framework for the competition. The full document will be available for review.
What is SQid and why does every device have one?
SQid is SQE’s quantum-secure digital identity standard — a permanent, non-replicable 1,024-bit identifier rooted directly in the hardware chip. Every QueRNG is issued a unique SQid at manufacture. It cannot be cloned, spoofed, or transferred. This is the same identity architecture powering SQE’s enterprise security platform.
