Cellframe (CF) Protocol & CF-20 Token Standard: Quantum-Resistant Blockchain Infrastructure

Cellframe Network is a blockchain platform built with native quantum threat protection and unique mechanisms for implementing blockchain services. Its operation relies on two key elements: the Cellframe (CF) Protocol itself and the CF-20 token standard.

The Cellframe (CF) Protocol is a next-generation quantum-resistant blockchain network designed for security and scalability.
CF-20 is the fungible token standard (similar to ERC-20 and BEP-20) within the CF protocol.

What is CF-20?

CF-20 is a technical standard for creating fungible tokens in the Cellframe ecosystem. It serves as the foundation for the network's native tokens such as CELL, KEL, CPUNK, and Dotflat.

Cellframe Wallet is a multifunctional application for interacting with these tokens and accessing ecosystem services (DEX, KelVPN, dApps).

Why is the Cellframe Protocol a Breakthrough?

Post-Quantum Security at Its Core

Uses NIST-approved algorithms (Falcon, CRYSTALS-Dilithium) that protect against quantum computer threats.

Scalable Two-Level Architecture

Provides high throughput and support for heterogeneous networks (LO-infrastructure + network segmentation into shard chains).

Getting Started

  1. Download and install Cellframe Wallet from the official website (ultra-light mode recommended)
  2. Create a wallet and securely store your seed phrase
  3. Purchase CELL tokens on exchanges:
    • DEX: PancakeSwap (BSC), Uniswap (Ethereum), Swapzone
    • CEX: BitMart, BingX, Bitcointry, MEXC, Gate.io
  4. Transfer CELL to the Cellframe network (CF-20) via bridge (for tokens from MEXC and Gate.io) or directly (from BitMart, BingX, Bitcointry)
  5. Use your tokens: for staking and running masternodes, trading on Cellframe DEX, or participating in DAO

Where to Buy CELL Tokens

Staking & DAO

CELL tokens are used to run masternodes (requires staking a minimum of 10,000 CELL) or to delegate keys to other validators. Staking is time-bound, with tokens locked for a specified period.

CF-20 token holders can participate in ecosystem governance through the DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).

Cellframe DEX

An internal decentralized exchange for converting CF-20 tokens. Operates on a limit order engine similar to traditional CEXs. Accessible through Cellframe Wallet.

FAQ

What makes Cellframe revolutionary?

Post-quantum security, integrated services (DEX, KelVPN), and cross-chain compatibility.

How does post-quantum protection work?

Falcon and CRYSTALS-Dilithium algorithms protect transactions and signatures from quantum attacks.

What are conditional transactions?

A mechanism for implementing services without smart contracts (e.g., paying KEL for KelVPN access).

What are the risks?

Loss of seed phrase, volatility, address errors during transfers, token lockup during staking.
