About Naoris Protocol
Naoris Protocol is building the world’s first Decentralized Cybersecurity Mesh, a quantum-resistant security layer purpose-built for Web3.
Instead of relying on old perimeter models, Naoris turns entire ecosystems into incentivized trust networks, where every node validates the security of every other. This means blockchains, dApps, wallets, and DePINs can operate with continuous trust, even against post-quantum threats.
Our mission is simple: make Web3 unbreakable. By providing real-time decentralized zero-trust validation, Naoris ensures that protocols, assets, and data streams are secured by consensus, not by a single point of failure.
From DePINs and L1s and DeFi to AI, defense, and critical infrastructure, Naoris Protocol is the security backbone enabling mainstream adoption of decentralized systems in the quantum age.
