Coinbase’s Quantum Report and the Only PQ Strategy Already Deployed at Soundness
Published:
Recently, Coinbase’s Independent Advisory Board on Quantum Computing and Blockchain published its first position paper on post-quantum migration stra
Blockchains Won’t Magically Upgrade to the Post-Quantum Era
Published:
We are facing exciting times, both stressful and intellectually interesting. If you followed Twitter the last few weeks, you might have noticed that different influential actors are pulling the post-q
The Quantum Clock Moved Forward: How Close is ‘Q-Day’ for Blockchain?
Published:
Three research and industry developments landed between February and late March 2026. None of them announced that quantum computers had broken blockchain cryptography. Though taken together, they mark
MPC wallets: the post-quantum migration
Published:
Multi-party computation changed the security model for institutional custody. The core promise is distribution of trust: no single server, no single employee, no single cloud region holds enough to si
Post-Quantum Readiness for Blockchain Today
Published:
It was a great time at Financial Cryptography last week; truly a privilege for Soundness to support and sponsor such an important event for the crypto and security community. Last month, we shared tha
PQ-Chain: Before the locks fail, build the fence!
Published:
Soundness Labs has developed PQ-Chain: a backward-compatible upgrade path that adds quantum resistance to EdDSA-based blockchains (Solana, Sui, Stellar and more) without requiring hard forks or addres
Post-Quantum Security and Blockchains: The Missing Enterprise Perspective
Published:
TLDR; Most discussions about quantum computing and blockchains start with a technical question: When will quantum computers actually break today’s cryptography?
Soundness Layer Testnet Announcement
Published:
Play games. Prove wins. Join us to build a Sound Internet, the future of a verifiable one.
Zero-Knowledge Proofs
Published:
In this article, we’re starting a journey into the world of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs)—one of the most exciting and powerful cryptographic tools in shaping the Sound Internet. As this is the bockbon
SP1 Verifier on Sui
Published:
In collaboration with Sui Foundation and Succinct Labs, Soundness Labs is bringing SP1 proofs to the Sui Ecosystem. This integration makes it easier than ever for developers to build zkApps without de

Cross-Domain Attribute-Based Access Control Encryption
Published in CANS 2021, Vienna, Austria, 2021
In this paper, we propose a constant size Attribute-based Access Control Encryption using a novel CP-ABE. We further improve the trust assumptions by describing the scheme in a more realistic setting called cross-domain ACE.
Tiramisu: Black-Box Simulation Extractable NIZKs in the Updatable CRS Model
Published in CANS 2021, Vienna, Austria, 2021
In this work, we propose a general framework to lift the existing updatable KS NIZKs to stronger notion of Upd-BB-SE.
MLS-ABAC: Efficient multi-level security attribute-based access control scheme
Published in Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) journal, 2022
In this work we improve the efficiency of proposed ABE scheme in the previous work using Ascon cryptosystems, and enable multi-level access control using Json Web Tokens (JWT).
Reusable, Instant and Private Payment Guarantees for Cryptocurrencies
Published in ACISP 2023, Brisbane, Australia, 2023
In this paper, we propose a payment guarantee system which improves the through-put and scalability of the existing proof-of-work cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
Benchmarking the Setup of Updatable zk-SNARKs
Published in Latincrypt 2023, Sangolquí, Ecuador, 2023
In this paper, we provide a comprehensive benchmarking for the setup of some famous universal and updatable zk-SNARK. We additionally discuss the important notion of updatable knowledge-soundness.
Threshold Structure-Preserving Signatures
Published in Asiacrypt (AC) 2023, Guangzhou, China, 2023
In this paper, we propose the first TSPS with the shortest possible signature while under a restricted class of messages, called index Diffie-Hellman message spaces.
Subset-optimized BLS Multi-signature with Key Aggregation
Published in Financial Crypto (FC) Conference 2024, Willemstad, Curacao, 2024
In this paper, we propose a subset-optimized multi-signature which enables key updateability and efficient public key aggregation.
Threshold Structure-Preserving Signatures: Strong and Adaptive Security under Standard Assumptions
Published in Public Key Cryptography (PKC) Conference 2024, Sydney, Australia, 2024
In this paper, we propose TSPS based on standard assumptions; supporting arbitrary group message vectors. We also prove its security under stronger security notion of T-UF-1 and adaptive adversaries.
Unlinkable Policy-Compliant Signatures for Compliant and Decentralized Anonymous Payments
Published in Privacy-Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS) 2024, Bristol, UK, 2024
In this paper, we propose a new primitive called ul-PCS which enables to impose a pre-determined policy in the signature verification process while ensuring the unlinkability of the actions.
zkLogin: Privacy-Preserving Blockchain Authentication with Existing Credentials
Published in ACM CCS, The Salt Lake, USA, 2024
In this paper, we propose zkLogin, that utilizes identity tokens from OpenID Connect platforms (like Google, Microsoft, Meta, etc) for transaction authentication, allowing users to sign with their existing accounts, enhancing user experience by eliminating the need to remember new secrets.
Keyed-Verification Anonymous Credentials with Highly Efficient Partial Disclosure
Published in IACR CiC, Volume 2, Issue 3, 2025
In this paper, we propose two highly efficient KVACs using our novel primitives: SP-MAC-EQ and a homomorphic MAC.
Traceable Verifiable Secret Sharing and Applications
Published in eprint, 2025
In this paper, we introduce TVSS, ensuring both traceability and verifiability, and propose efficient schemes enabling accountable threshold protocols.
Post-Quantum Readiness in EdDSA Chains
Published in FC 20206, 2026
We introduce a protocol enabling EdDSA-based blockchains to migrate to post-quantum signatures using zero-knowledge proofs derived from the EdDSA seed, preserving addresses and backward compatibility.
