Naoris Protocol Recently Cited in U.S. SEC Submission as Reference Model for Quantum-Resilient Blockchain Infrastructure
Porto, Portugal / Abu Dhabi, UAE, Feb. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Naoris Protocol this week formalized a strategic partnership with Mova Chain at a high-profile signing ceremony in Abu Dhabi, marking a significant advancement in decentralized payment infrastructure. The event, attended by members of the UAE Royal Family and featuring a landmark announcement by General Wesley Clark regarding the tokenization of his investment fund in collaboration with the President of the Republic of Indonesia, underscored the growing convergence of blockchain technology, institutional finance, and national-level digital asset initiatives.
The collaboration establishes the foundation for a secure, decentralized payment and settlement system, leveraging Naoris Protocol’s post-quantum, trustless cybersecurity infrastructure and Mova Chain’s blockchain capabilities.
In addition to payments, the teams will engage with state-level and institutional stakeholders to explore secure stable token and real-world asset (RWA) initiatives, aligned with compliant custody, settlement, and regulatory frameworks. These discussions aim to support scalable, on-chain financial systems that meet institutional security and governance requirements.
The signing ceremony brought together leadership from both organizations and institutional partners to mark the collaboration and outline a shared roadmap for secure, compliant digital finance. Attendees at the signing ceremony included General Inge Kampenes - Major General and Head of the Cyber Defence of Norway (2017–2022), Brigadier-General Carlos Ribeiro - Former Chief of Portuguese Armed Forces Communications and Information Systems, H.E. Salaheddine Mezouar - Minister of Foreign Affairs of Morocco 2013 – 2017, Avag Avanessyan - Vice Minister of Finance of Armenia, Armen Nurbekyan - Vice Chairman of Central Bank of Armenia, Neil Callaghan - CEO of Pilot Singa, chaired by General Wesley K Clark, Lord Carmine Villani - Board Member of Saudi Crown Holdings and the founder of MFO.
This ceremony comes just weeks after Naoris confirmed Mova’s strategic investment, alongside plans to launch secure card and payment infrastructure that embeds decentralized security validation into every step of the payment and settlement workflow. This approach embeds real-time, quantum-resistant security into payments infrastructure, creating a new standard for trust, resilience, and compliance across digital and traditional finance.
At the formal execution of the strategic partnership agreement between Naoris Protocol and Mova Chain, the companies announced the tokenisation of the General Wesley Clark Fund, presented in collaboration with the President of the Republic of Indonesia. This initiative highlights the use of blockchain technology to modernize capital markets, improve transparency, and enable compliant access to tokenised real-world assets at a global scale.
”Naoris and Mova are firmly aligned on a mission to build institution-grade financial infrastructure that remains resilient as cryptographic standards evolve,” said David Carvalho, Founder & CEO of Naoris Protocol. “By integrating decentralized validation at the transaction layer, we’re helping build systems that are resilient by design, and ready for quantum-era threats and institutional scale.”
“As part of our long-term ecosystem alignment between Naoris Protocol and MOVA, we’re excited to announce that 400,000,000 NAORIS tokens will be bridged to the MOVA Chain”, said Wael Muhaisen, the CEO of Mova Chain. “This milestone expands community participation and strengthens a secure, post-quantum, and institutional-grade multi-chain ecosystem”.
Naoris Protocol is a decentralized, blockchain-agnostic security infrastructure designed to protect digital systems from emerging cryptographic threats posed by quantum computing. At the core of the protocol is dPoSec (Decentralized Proof of Security) — a unique post-quantum consensus model that enables continuous, distributed security validation across financial infrastructure, blockchains, devices, and applications without introducing central points of failure.
In 2025, Naoris Protocol was cited in a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) submission on post-quantum financial infrastructure as a reference model for quantum-resilient blockchain systems, marking a notable signal of regulatory relevance as global institutions assess quantum readiness.
Following the recent investment, Mova and Naoris will pursue a phased integration of infrastructure, embedding Naoris’ post-quantum security and validation mechanisms into Mova’s financial stack while preserving protocol-level independence and open-network principles.
