good luck
Last week, Ethereum shared a major milestone for leanVM, a system being developed to make post-quantum signatures practical at scale.
Here’s the problem they’re working on: Post-quantum signatures are roughly 30 times larger than the signatures Ethereum validators use today. Simply replacing them would add a lot more data to the network.
Ethereum's solution is to bundle many signature checks into compact proofs.
At QMS, we're approaching this differently. Our Proof of Useful Work design doesn't require signatures to produce blocks. Post-quantum signatures are handled by a separate finality layer, so they won't slow down block production.
Both approaches address the same challenge, but from different starting points.
It's interesting to see how Ethereum is tackling a problem we've been thinking about since QMS was designed.
New pools are live!
Removed liquidity from the old USDT, USDC, WBTC, or WETH pools? You can now add it back to the new ones.
New to QWAP? Come try adding liquidity on our testnet: https://t.co/41RmzUxj7p
What’s changed in post-quantum migration since our September update? Here’s where things stand today:
Bitcoin: September 18's “Output Public Key Exposure Classification” draft classifies existing outputs by exposure. It's informational and observation-only, has no BIP number and proposes no consensus change.
Solana: On October 13, Squads tested Falcon-512 multisig voting on mainnet using Blueshift's Vector verifier. It's app-level and opt-in; the fee payer still needs Ed25519. SquadsX support is planned for its next release, not confirmed shipped.
ZKsync: Airbender Prime, announced October 13, uses hash-based STARKs. Its L1 proofs will use Keccak-256 commitments instead of BN254 pairings. That's a planned proof-system change; user signatures are unchanged.
NEAR: On October 1, Fireblocks demonstrated rotating one funded mainnet account from Ed25519 to ML-DSA-65 in two transactions, keeping its address. nearcore 2.14, adding Universal Account IDs, reached release candidate 5 on October 19. It isn't on mainnet.
Where things stand:
Bitcoin: BIP-360 and BIP-361 remain Draft. Neither is activated. BIP-360 mitigates long-exposure attacks but adds no post-quantum signature. BIP-361 covers migration and a legacy-signature sunset, but requires a post-quantum signature BIP that doesn't yet exist. August's SHRINCS signature draft has no BIP number. There's no activation proposal.
Ethereum: EIP-8141, Frame Transactions, is Scheduled for Inclusion in Hegotá but remains Draft; its specification may evolve. Hegotá is expected in Q2 2027, with no confirmed date. This account-abstraction approach would let accounts adopt new signature schemes later.
The Ethereum Foundation's Protocol cluster has a self-imposed December 2029 target for quantum resistance across execution, consensus and data, to be reassessed in January 2027. No post-quantum signatures are live on L1.
Solana: The Foundation's plan remains at research and evaluation. There are no network-wide post-quantum transaction or consensus signatures. Anza's Quantumglow is a post-quantum consensus research design with no deployment date. Winterwallet works on mainnet as an opt-in app-level vault and isn't formally audited.
NEAR (not in our September snapshot): ML-DSA-65 has been live on mainnet since July 20 as an opt-in key type, and NEAR's roadmap reports Meteor Wallet support is live. Validators still use Ed25519 for block production. Post-quantum consensus is targeted for end-2027; Chain Signatures has no post-quantum threshold-signing timeline.
Ethereum L2s: No major L2 uses post-quantum transaction signatures protocol-wide by default. Starknet's BLAKE2s OS program and configuration hashes are live on mainnet; Falcon-512 accounts are opt-in, with a mainnet demonstration. L2s still depend on Ethereum for settlement, bridge messaging and blob data availability.
None of the ecosystems covered here has completed a full-stack post-quantum migration.
2 weeks into QWAP’s launch on @QMSNetwork testnet, and the community has been busy!
So far:
→ 1.66M+ swaps executed
→ 740K+ liquidity positions opened
Thanks to everyone for putting QWAP to the test. Keep exploring, experimenting, and sharing your feedback. We’re building this together.
Instellar is live @dac_chain
