The History of QL1
🐣May 29, 2024 – QL1 is Born
Mainnet was born.
It wasn’t just a blockchain launch, it was the beginning of something unusual.
A decentralized ecosystem built by two passionate developers @backend69 and @BlockPhysics42. No VC funding, no infrastructure overhead, no big investor support.
Just code, belief, and a community ready to build something better. In just 12 months, QL1 has grown from genesis to gravity, building on builders, liquidity, protocols, and attention. Progress that an entire team couldn’t achieve in years was built block by block, primarily by two people and one unstoppable chain.
Let’s follow the path they built, piece by piece, and celebrate what true architects can accomplish when there are no obstacles in the way.
🪐 May 2024 – Genesis
May 16 – First QOM/WQOM pair created
Sparks flew. The QOM/WQOM liquidity pair signaled that the journey from Ethereum had begun.
May 29th – 🚀 QL1 Mainnet Launch
The chain is up and running. Qom.one and Scan.qom.one debut. A one-way bridge connects QOM. But this is not just a tech launch. It’s an escape hatch for those trapped by high gas prices and broken promises.
Day 1. No noise. Just features.

By day 5, over 10T of QOM had been migrated. That belief was already becoming reality.
