Key parameters for this repository:
- Licensor: Quantova Inc.
- Licensed Work:
node-conformance-tests— Quantova Node & Runtime Conformance Tests, © 2026 Quantova Inc. - Change Date: 2029-06-01 (or the fourth anniversary of the first public distribution of a given version, whichever comes first).

This repository provides a read-only node and runtime conformance checker for Quantova: it connects to a node over JSON-RPC and verifies runtime identity, pallet conformance, post-quantum authorization, consensus/finality health, and chain properties. It performs no signing, no transaction submission, and no state changes. It contains checker code and documentation, and does not contain private keys, secrets, endpoints, or exploit code.
Reading, citing, and reviewing this documentation to understand, audit, or build on Quantova governance is explicitly permitted. The repository is reference material and does not itself perform any on-chain action.
Running a validator node or full node on the canonical Quantova network, and using this SDK to support such operation, is explicitly permitted under the BUSL-1.1 license and does not constitute restricted "Production Use."
A formal clarification for validators, node operators, exchanges, custodians, and infrastructure providers is provided at:
/docs/validators/licensing.md
Participation in staking, consensus, block production, and transaction processing on the Quantova network does not create additional licensing obligations.
The BUSL-1.1 license restricts use of the Licensed Work, together with Quantova consensus, runtime, and QVM code, to launch, operate, or market a competing blockchain network or distributed ledger that is not the canonical Quantova network. It further restricts offering the Licensed Work to third parties as a hosted or managed service, or otherwise using the Licensed Work to provide a commercial product or service that competes with the products or services of the Licensor.
This restriction applies to, but is not limited to:
- Independent or derivative mainnets
- Forks marketed as separate networks
- Networks intended to replace or compete with Quantova
- SDK distributions repackaged or offered as a competing managed service
Forking, modifying, or analyzing the code for testing, auditing, research, or contribution purposes is permitted.
For licensing and authorization purposes, the canonical Quantova network is defined by all of the following:
- Official signed source releases published by Quantova Inc
- A unique post-quantum genesis hash
- Signed runtime and protocol artifacts
- Post-quantum cryptographic signatures, including CRYSTALS-Dilithium and Falcon
Any network deployment that does not match these identifiers is not the Quantova network and is not authorized under the Quantova BUSL license.
Documentation, research materials, and protocol specifications included in this repository are licensed under BUSL-1.1 unless explicitly stated otherwise within the relevant file or directory. Documentation is provided for informational and technical reference purposes and reflects protocol behavior enforced by code.
This repository is documentation and does not bundle third-party software dependencies. Code excerpts shown for reference are part of the Quantova protocol and are governed by this same license. Any third-party notices that apply to the protocol itself are maintained in the protocol repository. Where applicable, third-party license notices are provided in:
/THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md
or within dependency manifests (for example, pyproject.toml).
Nothing in this repository, including documentation and specifications, constitutes legal, financial, or regulatory advice. Operators, validators, and users are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations in their respective jurisdictions.
Licensing, institutional, and regulatory inquiries relating to the Quantova technology stack should be directed through official Quantova channels published by Quantova Inc.
Protocol identity and licensing intent are cryptographically anchored at genesis via an immutable on-chain commitment.
