A familiar repository name is not enough to show that a library is appropriate for your application.</p> <h2 id="start-with-the-protocol">Start with the protocol</h2> <p>QRL v1 uses XMSS. Its one-time signature state is an application concern as well as a cryptographic one. Read the library documentation and the wallet’s state-management approach before integrating signing.</p> <p>The <a href="https://github.com/theQRL/qrllib">qrllib repository</a> is the QRL core library. The organisation also maintains <a href="https://github.com/theQRL/go-qrllib">go-qrllib</a>, described as a Go implementation of the QRL cryptographic library.</p>
