\section{Introduction}
\subsection{Motivation}
Automated market makers revolutionized decentralized exchange by
replacing order books with deterministic pricing functions. However,
existing AMMs suffer from three limitations:
\begin{enumerate}[nosep]
\item \textbf{No privacy}: All orders are visible on-chain before
execution, enabling front-running and sandwich attacks.
\item \textbf{Fungible tokens only}: NFTs and real-world asset tokens
cannot participate in standard AMM pools.
\item \textbf{Single-chain}: Cross-chain liquidity requires third-party
bridges with variable security properties.
\end{enumerate}
QuantumSwap addresses all three: homomorphic encryption prevents order
visibility, mixed FT/NFT pools extend liquidity to non-fungible assets,
and a native teleport protocol provides cross-chain token movement with
post-quantum security.
