$1 trillion annual DEX volume while federal PQC mandates drive adoption of this integrated quantum-safe infrastructure
Addressing the
Overcoming Computational Constraints Using Bonsol
The implementation of NIST-standardized PQC algorithms in high performance blockchains is non-trivial since it requires signature sizes and computational resources 10-100x greater than the current signatures used today. This is particularly true for Solana, a high-performance blockchain that imposes computational constraints in favour of speed. BTQ's solution, utilizing Bonsol's verifiable proving network, enables computationally intensive PQC operations to be performed off-chain while maintaining cryptographic guarantees on-chain. This allows the heavy PQC component of signature verification to be done off-chain, while verifying the correctness on-chain. The demonstration successfully implements ML-DSA (Module Lattice Digital Signature Algorithm), the NIST FIPS 204 standard that provides authentication of the signatory, non-repudiation and integrity of data. This approach preserves Solana's high throughput and low latency while adding quantum resistance - a critical requirement as regulatory authorities increasingly mandate post-quantum security for financial infrastructure.

"Today's demonstration represents a fundamental breakthrough in securing blockchain infrastructure against quantum threats," said
Monetization Strategy and Market Opportunity
The partnership establishes a clear path to commercialization through integration with Solana's core infrastructure. BTQ's Quantum Compute-in-Memory (QCIM) hardware provides a key advantage for accelerating both the PQC algorithms to be used by Bonsol and the computation that underpins Bonsol's proving network. As Bonsol's verifiable computation network enables efficient on-chain verification of post-quantum signatures, it can capture value through transaction fees for quantum-secure operations. The combination of BTQ's specialized hardware acceleration and Bonsol's verification infrastructure creates a flywheel solution that both accelerates performance and minimizes cost barriers to PQC adoption.
