Layer Q: Future-proofing core structural Ethereum building blocks

Project details match catalog

About

We are building a library of software components to facilitate the development of quantum-safe EVM-compatible blockchain infrastructure, including implementations of new quantum-safe digital signature algorithms, transaction schemas and wallets.

Impact

This project focuses on enhancing Ethereum's infrastructure to make it resistant to quantum computing threats, thereby safeguarding over $225 billion in digital assets and data while pushing forward the frontiers of cryptographic research.

Progress

We've launched a testnet operating on a fork of go-Ethereum, which demonstrates the practical integration of these post-quantum cryptographic primitives in an Ethereum setting. Our team has >10,000 citations in our relevant fields of research.

Team

Our strong team of post-quantum cryptographers equips us with a deep understanding of the complexities and nuances of cryptographic design and implementation.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
