Quantus Weekly: Swaps Live in the Mobile Wallet

Swaps are now live inside the Quantus wallet mobile app.

You can now go in and out of native QTC directly.

QTC is a safe haven from cryptographic failure.

Its reason for being is minimizing users’ risk.

As we expand this asset across crypto and fintech, we recognize that many users may opt into custodians, exchanges, and other ways to hold QTC that may have some counterparty risk.

But users must always be able to hold their own self-custodied, native QTC, to maximize their sovereignty and minimize counterparty risk.

Now you can swap in and out of that maximally secure, self-custodial QTC directly in the same app you hold it in.

A few highlights since the last update:

• QTC trading went live on near.com on October 6
• @YuviLightman joined the Quantum Alliance, an open standards body for blockchain quantum readiness
• Project Eleven named Quantus a development partner for Strongpoint
• We published evm.fail, a practical post-quantum path for any EVM chain

Core Tech & ZK

• Formal verification: proved in Lean that the wormhole leaf circuit’s wiring implies the specification, and made the wormhole spec itself axiom-free.
• Merged a GPU backend for public-batch proving.
• Removed a performance bottleneck in wormhole verification and patched two denial-of-service vectors in the chain.
• Released the JavaScript SDK v1.0.0 on npm with hedged ML-DSA signatures.
• Built an attack harness for ML-DSA in our rusty-crystals library.
• Our CLI can now sign NEAR transactions and import a cold wallet’s NEAR public key.

Network & Infra

• Released node v1.0.5. Operators on 1.0.2 or earlier should upgrade.
• Opened the Quantus Early Access GitHub organization, a read-only mirror where node operators, pools and partners receive fixes before public release.
• F2Pool launched a QTC mining pool:

• And Herominers followed:

• Released Miner v4.2.1.
• quantus.com took 195 million requests in 24 hours from a DDoS on October 7. The chain, explorer and wallet stayed up.
• Open-sourced the indexer, v1.4.3.

Web & Mobile App Updates

• New mobile wallet accounts now default to ML-DSA-87, the highest security level of the NIST signature standard.
• Added a security report form with PGP key support at quantus.com/security.

Content & Partnerships

• migration.fail follows the share of crypto market cap not yet quantum secure. We’ve launched several other similar tools:
  • exchange.fail monitoring exchange support for post-quantum coins
  • custody.fail assessing which custodians protect client assets with post-quantum cryptography
  • vc.fail measuring VC quantum-related holdings
  • evm.fail recommending a path for EVM chains to adopt post-quantum standards today
