Diamante Raises $1.5M from Mr Khofiz Shakhidi to Advance the World’s First Quantum-Safe Layer-1 Blockchain

Investment accelerates the world's first quantum-proof Layer-1 as the race to secure $2.4 trillion in vulnerable crypto assets enters its most critical phase.

ABU DHABI, ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, April 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Diamante Financial Technologies LLC ("Diamante"), the developer of the world's first quantum-safe Layer-1 blockchain, today announced a $1.5 million strategic investment from Mr. Khofiz Shakhidi, founder of Jefferson Capital Ltd and a co-founder of Minexx Ltd. Separately, Diamante and Minexx have entered a partnership to tokenize Minexx's rare earth element operations on the Diamante network, marking the first institutional-grade commodity tokenization on a quantum-proof chain.

Khofiz Shakhidi joins existing strategic backers, including Abu Dhabi Royal Family member HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Ahmed bin Hamdan Al-Nahyan, who serves as a named partner and investor. Proceeds will fund protocol development, ecosystem growth, and enterprise go-to-market expansion across the US, EU, MENA, and Asia-Pacific.

Under the RWA tokenization partnership, Minexx's critical mineral supply chain will be brought on-chain, enabling transparent, auditable tracking of rare earth elements from mine to end buyer.

Diamante is the only production L1 with NIST-certified post-quantum cryptography (FIPS 204) live at the protocol level. With $2.4 trillion in crypto assets still running on quantum-vulnerable ECDSA and Ethereum's PQ migration not expected until ~2030, Diamante is positioned as first-mover infrastructure for the post-quantum era.

The network holds regulatory clearance across three jurisdictions: MiCA (30 EU/EEA states), FINMA (Switzerland), and the UAE.

"This is a milestone on two fronts. The investment validates institutional confidence in quantum-safe infrastructure, and the Minexx partnership proves enterprise demand is here now, not years away. We're onboarding real businesses onto production-ready infrastructure while the rest of the market is still debating timelines." Chirag Jetani, Founder & CEO, Diamante.

"Diamante stood apart on every dimension that matters to us: security, compliance, and enterprise readiness. The quantum threat to existing blockchains is not a distant risk. This investment and partnership reflect our conviction that quantum-safe infrastructure will become the industry standard, and Diamante is leading that transition." said Khofiz Shakhidi.
