10 years of post-quantum digital asset security

events

From the first code in 2016 to a mainnet built on XMSS and the development of QRL 2.0, a decade of QRL has been guided by one commitment: digital assets should remain secure as computing advances. We look back at the foundations and ahead to post-quantum smart contracts, proof of stake, and the next generation of builders.

Can AI Break ECDSA or ML-DSA? Exponential Is Still Exponential

technical

AI is making cryptographic attacks faster, but can it break ECDSA or ML-DSA? Dr. Joseph Kearney examine’s what recent results actually show, why faster exponential attacks remain exponential, and where the more immediate risks are, from weak implementations to quantum computers running known algorithms.

QRL Now Live in Chainalysis KYT

QRL transactions can now be monitored through Chainalysis KYT (Know Your Transaction), a transaction monitoring and compliance screening solution built on the Chainalysis blockchain data platform, used by regulators, financial institutions and exchanges across the globe.

Post-Quantum Native: Why Most Blockchains Aren’t Ready

technical

The quantum threat exposes a fundamental tension in blockchain: immutability and permissionlessness, the very features that made blockchains revolutionary, are the same features that make post-quantum migration nearly impossible without compromise.

The Quantum Threat to Blockchain: Who’s Ready? with Alex Pruden

technical

Alex Pruden, CEO and co-founder of Project 11, joins the QRL Show to break down why quantum computing poses an existential risk to every major blockchain, why the migration to post-quantum cryptography is far harder than most people realize, and why the industry may already be behind schedule.

Reflections on the COLDCARD RNG Exploit

technical

The Coldcard RNG exploit shows how silently degraded entropy can put hardware wallet users at risk. QRL v1 wallets remain secure with 384 bits of operating-system entropy, while the incident underscores the need for continuous audits, fail-closed randomness, and quantum-resistant cryptography.
