01 · Our Focus

Technology That Moves Blockchain Forward.

We work on two problems: keeping digital assets secure as cryptography changes, and making them easier to discover and trade today.

We believe the next generation of blockchain products should be built around three principles.

Security by Design

Security is fundamental to sustainable innovation. We focus on solutions that address emerging threats while remaining adaptable to future technological developments.

Simplicity Without Compromise

Powerful technology shouldn't require unnecessary complexity. We believe intuitive experiences and sophisticated infrastructure can coexist.

Built for What Comes Next

Technology never stands still. We favour adaptable architectures, practical innovation, and products designed to evolve alongside the ecosystems they serve.

02 · Our Work

Different Challenges. Shared Vision.

Our work focuses on complementary areas of the blockchain ecosystem, from the security of digital accounts to the way people participate in digital asset markets.

Quantum-Resistant Blockchain Security

In testingWhitepaper v1.0 · June 2026

Security that evolves with the future.

Quantum computing presents a long-term challenge to the cryptographic foundations securing blockchain accounts.

QP2 is developing an upgradeable quantum-security layer that enables blockchain wallets and accounts to adopt post-quantum signature schemes without depending solely on network-wide protocol upgrades.

Designed for flexibility, QP2 supports cryptographic agility through configurable signature schemes, key rotation, and the ability to adapt as post-quantum standards evolve.

Its goal is to make future-ready account security more accessible across blockchain ecosystems.

Why now

In March 2026, Google Quantum AI, working with the Ethereum Foundation and Stanford, showed that breaking the elliptic-curve cryptography behind Ethereum could take fewer than 500,000 qubits, about 20 times fewer than earlier estimates. NIST has already standardised post-quantum signatures and plans to deprecate ECDSA after 2030. Wallets and accounts need a way to adopt them without giving up their address.

Social-First Crypto Trading

Livemaxi.family

A better way to discover, connect, and trade.

Crypto markets move fast, but the information traders rely on is often fragmented across platforms, communities, and trading interfaces.

Maxi brings social discovery and cross-chain trading into a more connected experience.

Maxi is self-custodial and privacy-first. Accounts are created with a wallet, and Maxi never asks for an email or any other personal identifier.

Maxi combines trading, community-driven insights and AI-powered project reviews in one place. By bringing together market activity and relevant social conversations, Maxi helps users spend less time switching between platforms and more time exploring opportunities.

Key Capabilities

  • Self-custodial, wallet-based accounts with no email or personal data
  • Trading across major blockchain networks
  • Social-first discovery and trader insights
  • Aggregated project discussions from multiple platforms
  • AI-powered project reviews
  • Trader profiles, reputation, and community features

03 · About Us

Builders at Heart.

Altereum Labs is led by Tarun Malik, Suryansh Kumar and Chandresh Aharwar, the team that built UniLend Finance: Chandresh as CEO, Tarun as co-founder and CPO, and Suryansh as CTO. UniLend, a decentralised lending protocol, went on to list on Binance and other major exchanges.

That experience shapes how we build: practical applications, long-term thinking, and making complex systems easier to use.

The founders

Tarun Malik

Tarun Malik

Co-Founder & Head of Growth, QP2
Co-Founder, Maxi

Tarun has been building in Web3 for nine years. He co-founded UniLend Finance, where he was Chief Product Officer, and UniLend went on to list on Binance and other major exchanges. Before UniLend, he contributed to MetaTransact, an open-source protocol that let users send ERC-20 tokens without paying gas fees.

He has helped a range of early-stage startups build and grow, and holds a Master of Information Systems from the University of Melbourne and a Master of International Business from Melbourne Business School.

04 · Why Altereum

A team that has shipped before.

Between us, we have taken a protocol from launch to major exchange listings, contributed to core DeFi infrastructure, and put a product live in the market.

QP2 is where that experience is focused now: a security layer for a threat the industry has started to plan for.

Binance

UniLend Finance, the lending protocol we built, listed on Binance and other major exchanges.

Uniswap v4

Our CTO has contributed to the Uniswap v4 core contracts.

Polygon

Our co-founder was VP of Marketing & Strategy at Matic Network, now Polygon.
