Modulax FAQ – For Developers and Early Supporters

This document answers the most common questions about Modulax. Please read carefully before asking again. Modulax is already a live blockchain with real activity.

1. What is Modulax?

Modulax is a quantum-ready, EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain. It is not a token on Ethereum or BNB Chain but a fully independent network with its own validators, block production, and explorer. Being EVM-compatible means that all Ethereum smart contracts and developer tools like Solidity, Hardhat, and MetaMask work directly on Modulax without changes.

The unique part of Modulax is its focus on long-term cryptographic security. Most blockchains today still use ECDSA, which can be broken by future quantum computers. Modulax was designed from day one with cryptographic agility, meaning the network can adopt post-quantum standards such as CRYSTALS-Kyber for encryption and CRYSTALS-Dilithium for digital signatures when they become production ready. These standards were chosen by NIST as the official direction for PQC.

The mainnet is live and already processing blocks nonstop. Gas fees are near zero, and anyone can deploy contracts or test transfers using the live explorer.

Takeaway: Modulax is a live EVM Layer-1 chain with quantum-ready architecture.

2. Why launch ERC-20 if mainnet is already live?

The ERC-20 version of MDX on Ethereum exists to bootstrap the ecosystem. There are three reasons why this was necessary. First, accessibility: it is much easier for early supporters to buy MDX on Uniswap using ETH than to set up a brand new chain. This helps the project attract users from the existing Ethereum community. Second, funding: the ERC-20 token includes a 4 percent buy tax and a 4 percent sell tax. These fees are used for project development, liquidity support, audits, and market making. This system avoids dumping team allocations on the market and instead funds growth fairly. Third, the reward system: holding ERC-20 MDX automatically qualifies users for daily native rewards in MDX on the Modulax chain. This connects Ethereum-based holders to the live L1 ecosystem.

In other words, ERC-20 is the entry ticket for the early phase, while the true destination is the native Modulax chain where governance, gas, and real utility exist.

Takeaway: ERC-20 makes entry simple, funds the project, and connects holders to daily rewards, but native MDX is the permanent core.

3. When will the Bridge and DEX go live?

The bridge and DEX are the next core modules under development. The Modulax Bridge will allow ERC-20 MDX to be swapped one-to-one into native MDX on the Modulax chain. This guarantees supply remains consistent and transparent. The DEX will be Modulax’s native marketplace, supporting pairs like MDX/ETH and MDX/USDC, as well as any new tokens launched on Modulax. It will also support staking and yield opportunities.

The liquidity pool on Ethereum is locked for six months. This does not mean the bridge and DEX will only arrive after six months, but the lock acts as a buffer to prevent early liquidity drain. The goal is to launch the bridge and DEX earlier than that so ERC-20 holders can migrate sooner.

Takeaway: Bridge and DEX are coming before the LP lock ends, forming the path to the native economy.

4. How will ERC-20 be treated after bridging?

When ERC-20 MDX is bridged, the tokens will be locked inside the bridge contract. For each ERC-20 token locked, one native MDX is released on the Modulax chain. This prevents double circulation and ensures that the total supply remains auditable.

ERC-20 MDX will continue to exist on Ethereum, but it will no longer have governance or utility beyond being a wrapper. All real utility such as staking, fees, and governance will live on the native chain.

Takeaway: ERC-20 is locked during bridging, and native MDX becomes the permanent token.

5. What are the trading fees?

On Ethereum, ERC-20 MDX carries a 4 percent buy tax and a 4 percent sell tax. These fees are collected to fund development, market making, audits, and liquidity support. This ensures sustainable growth without dumping treasury tokens.

On the Modulax chain, there are no buy or sell taxes. Transactions only require normal gas fees, which are very small compared to Ethereum or other chains.

Takeaway: ERC-20 has a 4/4 tax for funding, while Modulax native MDX only uses gas fees.

6. Why only 0.5%+ holders get rewards?

The reward mechanism is designed to benefit real supporters and prevent abuse by dust wallets or bots. To qualify, a holder must own at least 0.5 percent of the total ERC-20 MDX supply. Qualified holders receive 1,000 MDX daily on the Modulax chain.

These rewards are not distributed in ERC-20, but directly as native MDX. To view them, holders must add the Modulax network in their wallet through Chainlist and check their native balance.

Takeaway: Daily rewards go to holders with at least 0.5 percent of ERC-20 supply, paid in native MDX.

7. Do ERC-20 balances increase with rewards?

ERC-20 balances never change due to rewards. The ERC-20 token only serves as the bootstrap layer and entry qualification. Rewards are distributed separately on the Modulax chain as native MDX.

Holders must add Modulax via Chainlist to view these rewards in their wallet. This keeps ERC-20 fixed while still rewarding loyal supporters directly on the native chain.

Takeaway: Rewards are credited as native MDX, ERC-20 balances stay the same.

8. Why is the explorer always active?

The Modulax explorer shows constant activity for several reasons. Validators are continuously producing blocks and never stop, which keeps the chain alive 24/7. Developer testing and internal system transactions are also visible on-chain. Finally, because gas fees are almost free, many small transfers and tests are happening frequently.

This activity is proof that Modulax is not a demo but a functioning blockchain with live infrastructure.

Takeaway: The explorer is always active because the chain is alive, validators are running, and gas is cheap.

9. Who are the validators?

At this stage, the validator set is limited and operated by the Modulax team to maintain network stability while the ecosystem is small. This avoids risks that could arise if validators were public before the bridge and DEX are ready.

Once the ecosystem is mature and the bridge and DEX are live, validator participation will be opened to the community. Anyone will be able to stake and secure the network.

Takeaway: Team runs validators now, public validation will open later.

10. Is Modulax already quantum-resistant?

Currently Modulax uses the same cryptography as Ethereum, which is ECDSA. It is not yet fully quantum-resistant. The difference is that Modulax is built to be quantum-ready. The architecture already supports upgrading to Kyber and Dilithium post-quantum standards without breaking existing contracts or compatibility.

This makes Modulax prepared for the future, while most chains have only recently begun to think about PQC.

Takeaway: Modulax is not resistant yet, but fully ready to adopt PQC when needed.

11. Who is the team?

The Modulax team has six members. Three are core operators who manage the ecosystem, strategy, and design. Two are blockchain developers, and one is a cryptographer focusing on post-quantum security.

The project is open-source, which means external contributors can also help build. Contributors will be incentivized for meaningful input.

Takeaway: Six-person team with open-source incentives for contributors.

12. Does the team have KYC?

No, the team does not have KYC. Modulax believes in transparency through open-source code and verifiable on-chain activity, not private identity. Anyone can check the GitHub repos, the explorer, and live smart contract data.

Takeaway: No KYC, but fully transparent through open-source proof.

13. What is the roadmap?

The roadmap is designed to take Modulax from bootstrap to full quantum resilience.

Phase 1: Mainnet launch (already live)

Phase 2: ERC-20 bootstrap on Ethereum (live)

Phase 3: Daily rewards for ERC-20 holders (active)

Phase 4: Modulax Bridge and native DEX (in development)

Phase 5: Governance modules and validator decentralization

Phase 6: Quantum upgrades with Kyber, Dilithium, and zkVM

Takeaway: Roadmap is live and being executed step by step.
