Zero elliptic curve cryptography. End-to-end quantum resistance by design.
Every major blockchain relies on elliptic curve cryptography. A quantum computer could break it all.
"Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" is not theoretical. It is an active intelligence strategy. Every transaction today is a future liability.
No elliptic curve. No integer factorization. Every layer is independently quantum-resistant.
Recursive STARKs aggregate thousands of 3.3KB Dilithium3 signatures into a single ~150KB hash-based proof. No elliptic curves. No trusted setup.
Pi-Nodes handle consensus and proof verification. Heavy computation is offloaded to the permissionless Prover Market.
