Quantus Weekly: Open Research and the Post-Quantum Standard
Post-quantum cryptography is too new to ship in a blockchain behind closed doors.
This week we launched research.quantus.com.
It’s a public forum for cryptographers and developers to pick apart any protocol decision we’ve ever made. Researchers are already stress-testing Poseidon2 attack surfaces.
NIST finalized the post-quantum standards last year. That was step one. Step two is every protocol team in crypto actually implementing them. There’s no established playbook for building a quantum-secure chain, so we’re building the standard.
If you’re working on post-quantum security, the door is open.
Here’s what else we built this week.
GitHub Activity (4 merged pull requests):
Core Tech & ZK
- Updated ZK circuits to support multi-machine proof aggregation with onchain verification.
- Merged the multisig pallet, delivering full multisig support with high-security accounts.
Network & Infra
- Developed the Senoti notification system: device registrar service, blockchain watcher service, and core worker with CI and deployment setup.
- Improved faucet bot in Telegram to better respond to increased activity.
- Added release management workflows for qp-plonky2 and qp-zk-circuits.
Web & Mobile App Updates
- Launched research.quantus.com, a Discourse-based forum for cryptographic research and technical discussion.
- Updated the Quantus website: refreshed whitepaper page, added token allocation pie chart to /launch, added CoinGecko integration, and published all weekly updates as blog posts.
- Updated wallet design and shipped to TestFlight. New version coming to the App Store soon.
- Bug and UX fixes in the mobile wallet.
- Integrated FCM base for push notification handling in the mobile wallet.
