Y2K was
a drill.

Quantum computers are coming for the keys that guard every wallet. Quantum Vault puts your stock tokens behind a second key, built for after.

The problem

Every wallet signs with the same kind of curve.

Since 2009, crypto wallets have signed with 256-bit elliptic curves. Shor's algorithm, run on a large enough quantum computer, turns a public key back into its private key. Every address that has ever sent a transaction has already published its public key.

Your stock tokens sit behind one of those keys.

The Vault

Two keys. One of them is built for after.

01 · DEPOSIT

A vault of your own

Move your stock tokens into a Vault that answers only to you. Nothing is pooled, and the design gives us no key to it.

02 · Q-KEY

Make your Q-Key

Your browser creates a Falcon-512 key: the lattice signature NIST selected for its post-quantum standard. Back it up like a seed phrase. It never leaves your device.

03 · MOVE

Both keys, every time

Every withdrawal needs your wallet and your Q-Key. The contract checks the Falcon signature on chain before a single share moves.

Lose your Q-Key?

Your wallet alone can open an exit. It waits 14 days.

Someone else opened it?

Cancel it with your Q-Key. A stolen wallet key gets them nothing.

Two keys beat one, today too.

A phished wallet can't empty a Vault. Quantum or not.

The Pot

Nobody can claim it. Yet.

The Pot is a public bounty on Robinhood Chain. It pays whoever can sign for a key nobody holds: a point on the curve derived from a public phrase, with no private key in existence. Claiming it takes breaking the cryptography every wallet uses.

The day someone claims it, every Vault seals itself. Wallet-only exits switch off, and only Q-Keys move funds.

Until someone claims it, we can withdraw the Pot only after 30 days of public notice on this page.

Costs

Cents, not dollars.

On 8 October 2026 we ran a Falcon-512 verifier against live Robinhood Chain mainnet state. A valid signature passed; a tampered one failed. The prices below move with gas and ETH.

VerifierGasNow
Falcon-512, NIST standardMeasured on mainnet state 3,911,819 $0.22
Falcon-512, faster NIST buildZKNOX's figure, not yet measured by us ~650,000 $0.04

Big signatures, no surcharge. Robinhood Chain charges nothing for L1 data, so a 2.4 KB key and signature cost no more than a short one.

Audit first. The verifier is ZKNOX's open-source ETHFALCON (MIT). It is unaudited today; an independent audit comes before the first deposit.

Plain terms

What it guards. What it can't.

Guards

  • Stock tokens inside your Vault.
  • Every withdrawal: two keys, checked on chain.
  • A stolen wallet key: it can't move funds alone.
  • Q-Day: wallet keys stop, Q-Keys keep working.

Can't guard

  • Robinhood Chain's own keys: the sequencer, bridge and upgrades are Robinhood's.
  • The stock token contracts, which their issuer controls.
  • Anything you keep outside the Vault.
  • Losing both keys.
FAQ

Questions.

Is Quantum Vault live?

Not yet. The contracts are in development and will be audited before the first deposit. No token has launched; any token trading today is not ours.

Is it quantum-proof?

Nothing is proof against the future. Falcon-512 is a lattice signature selected by NIST for standardization, and the Vault checks it on chain for every withdrawal.

Why Robinhood Chain?

Stock tokens live here, and checking a post-quantum signature costs cents.

When is Q-Day?

Nobody knows. The estimates keep moving closer: the March 2026 paper above puts a break of today's curves at under 1,200 logical qubits. A Vault set up early is ready either way.

Who holds my stocks?

You do. Each Vault answers to your two keys, and the design gives us neither.
