# Research

> QBTC research material: formal protocol specification, tokenomics, security model, and quantum risk assessment for cryptographers and institutional analysts.

Formal specification and analysis material for cryptographers, researchers, institutions, and anyone evaluating QBTC at depth.

## Specification

* [Protocol Specification](/research/protocol-spec), the canonical reference for what is in the chain code.

## Threat model & security

* [Quantum Risk Assessment](/research/quantum-risk-assessment), an expert-panel review of the cryptographically-relevant quantum computer (CRQC) timeline.
* [Security Model](/research/security-model), QBTC's threat model, trust assumptions, and defenses.

## Economics

* [Tokenomics](/research/tokenomics), the economic design grounded in chain parameters.

## Primary source

* [Whitepaper](/resources/whitepaper), the original design document.
