Install QAN XLINK Docker

Learn how to install QAN XLINK post-quantum cross-signer.

Prerequisites

Note:

Ensure you succeeded with Step 1. Add testnet to Wallet
Ensure you installed Docker on your desktop.

QAN XLINK a custom cross-signature protocol. This protocol enables seamless integration of every Ethereum-compatible wallet (such as MetaMask and Trust Wallet) with quantum-resistant signature-capable keypairs.

Install QAN XLINK with Docker

Make sure Docker is running on your device.
It is enough if Docker runs in the background.
Open Terminal / Command Prompt on your device.

Copy-paste the following command in Terminal/Command Prompt and press Return/Enter key.

docker pull qanplatform/xlink:testnet
docker run -d --name=xlink-testnet --restart=always --volume=xlink-testnet:/xlink qanplatform/xlink:testnet

Copy-paste the following command in Terminal/Command Prompt and press Return/Enter key.
```
docker logs -f xlink-testnet
```

Your new address is ready!

You just generated your new wallet address which has associated QAN XLINK post-quantum keys.

Done! You should see something similar in the output (you can safely ignore the low balance alert):

Created mnemonic file with a new securely generated mnemonic at /xlink/mnemonic.txt
xlink initialized for address: 0xfaE0b7ED46f266cF360E52e0C8E33a37AAaa1a81
insufficient funds on address, waiting 1 minute before re-checking...

Warning:

QAN XLINK will only automatically cross-sign your future transactions in the background using post-quantum cryptography while Docker is running on your device.
