postq.
quantum-resistant token minting on ethereum. proof of cryptography, not hype.
PostQ puts a cryptographic barrier between you and your tokens. Before anything hits the blockchain, you must produce a valid post-quantum signature — a hash-only scheme built to survive the quantum computing era. No shortcuts, no whitelist, no luck-based allocation.
One key. One signature. 500 $POSTQ. The key dies after use.
the numbers
the problem
Every wallet you own depends on elliptic curve math. The moment a large-scale quantum computer runs Shor's algorithm, that math collapses. Private keys become public knowledge. Hardware wallets become museum pieces.
This isn't science fiction — NIST already standardized post-quantum algorithms in 2024. The transition is happening. PostQ is a working demonstration that post-quantum cryptography can gate real token distribution today.
how minting works
- 1. click generate key — the server creates a fresh post-quantum keypair for you.
- 2. enter your wallet address and hit sign — the backend verifies your post-quantum signature and issues an ECDSA attestation.
- 3. click mint — one transaction, ~150k gas. the smart contract validates the attestation and sends 500 $POSTQ to your wallet.
what you don't have to trust
- the contract is locked — no owner functions, no upgradability, no emergency stop.
- the backend cannot redirect tokens — your address is embedded in the cryptographic proof.
- the backend cannot inflate supply — the contract enforces a hard 5M public cap.
- every signature is publicly auditable. download it, run the verifier yourself.
