Today, BOLTS Technologies (BOLTS), a cybersecurity company pioneering crypto-agile and cipher-neutral security infrastructure, announced the launch of a pilot program to explore bringing quantum-resilience on the Canton Network, the public, permissionless blockchain purpose-built for institutional finance. 

The pilot will explore how BOLTS’ quantum-resilient software product, QFlex, could potentially bring quantum-resistant transaction assurance to Canton Network. QFlex addresses the multi-faceted complexities around fortifying blockchain networks against Q-Day. This refers to the day when a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) arrives, and undermines the foundations of current Internet security using Shor’s algorithm.

Following the EU’s introduction of PQS 2030, flexible support for post-quantum cryptography (PQS) will become an increasing focus for Canton Network, which has an extensive roster of institutional ecosystem participants, processing over $4T in repos monthly.

Bernhard Elsner, Chief Product Officer of Digital Asset, said, “We’re excited to explore QFlex’s promise of allowing sub-networks to enable flexible, user-controlled use of a wide range of cutting-edge cryptographic algorithms without code-changes. This would further strengthen the Canton Network’s cryptographic agility and position it well to seamlessly support stakeholders adopting rules like DLT 2030 and beyond.”

Yoon Auh, CEO of BOLTS affirms, “We are proud that our proven expertise and technology are in this pilot test with Canton Network. This collaboration represents a meaningful step in our mission to deliver durable, future-ready security infrastructure solutions for institutions operating on distributed ledger platforms. 

QFlex gives assurance to the industry that Q-Day fears can be overcome efficiently today, with a clear path to becoming quantum-ready. The industry can no longer delay this, given the trillions of dollars in institutional digital assets at stake. With Canton Network supporting over $6 trillion in on-chain real-world assets, this pilot will have a significant impact on the industry.”

Built on the Structured Data Folding with Transmutations (SDFT) protocol, QFlex delivers cryptographic agility at the transaction level. As such, it empowers each asset owner to respond to new threats in real time on their next transaction unlike existing static or hybrid-algo solutions.
