BTQ Technologies Partners with Bonsol Labs to Achieve Industry-First NIST-Standardized Post-Quantum Cryptography Signature Verification on Solana
BTQ (NASDAQ:BTQ) announced a partnership with Bonsol Labs that achieved the first NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptography (PQC) signature verification on Solana on Oct 23, 2025. The demo implemented ML-DSA (NIST FIPS 204) and used Bonsol's verifiable computation network to move heavy PQC work off-chain while preserving on-chain verification and Solana's sub-second performance. The release highlights QCIM hardware acceleration, Solana's role in >$1 trillion annual DEX volume, and federal urgency driven by "harvest now, decrypt later" risks.

Insights
BTQ demonstrated NIST-standardized PQC verification on Solana, creating a practical path to quantum‑safe on‑chain signatures while preserving speed.
BTQ's partnership with Bonsol moves the heavy cryptographic work off‑chain using verifiable computation, then confirms results on‑chain, preserving Solana's sub‑second finality. The demonstration implements the NIST FIPS 204 ML‑DSA signature verification, and the architecture pairs BTQ's QCIM hardware with Bonsol's proving network to accelerate and validate PQC operations within existing constraints.
Key dependencies and risks include on-chain integration acceptance, the operational security of the off‑chain proving network, and regulatory adoption timelines; these factors determine commercial uptake. The announcement cites Solana's claimed

Addressing the Federal Reserve's Quantum Threat Warning
Federal Reserve research confirms active "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL) attacks are already harvesting blockchain data, with Bitcoin's 15-year ledger particularly vulnerable. Historical transaction data protected by traditional cryptography (e.g., ECDSA and RSA) remains permanently exposed in chains including Ethereum and Solana, even after post-quantum upgrades. The analysis reiterates that quantum threats to distributed ledger networks are "present and ongoing", with adversaries actively collecting encrypted blockchain data today for future decryption. No mitigation exists for retroactive data privacy. Once harvested, confidential transaction details, private keys, and financial records can be decrypted by quantum computers in the future. To protect funds, ownership needs to be transferred to secure post-quantum keypairs resistant to quantum attacks.
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 Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of BTQ Technologies. "By successfully implementing NIST-standardized PQC on Solana, the network processing the majority of decentralized exchange volume, we're not just solving a technical challenge but enabling the quantum-safe evolution of internet capital markets."
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. With federal regulatory frameworks increasingly mandating NIST-standardized PQC for financial infrastructure, and Solana processing over
Industry-Wide Implications
The Federal Reserve analysis notes that distributed ledger networks may need years for planning, testing, and deploying PQC across their networks. BTQ's successful demonstration accelerates this timeline by providing proven, standards-compliant solutions that work within existing infrastructure constraints. The solution's alignment with NIST FIPS standards ensures regulatory compliance and interoperability, contrasting with alternative approaches like Ethereum's proposed hash-based signatures that diverge from federal standardization.
"Our collaboration with BTQ showcases how verifiable computation can bridge the gap between blockchain performance and post-quantum security requirements," said Hunter Hsiao, co-founder of Bonsol Labs. "This demonstration proves there is a real path towards realizing quantum safety on the world's fastest blockchain."
"Post-quantum security isn't a small feature upgrade, it's essential for Solana's future as the home of internet capital markets," said Joe Eagan, co-founder of Anagram, a founding member of Bonsol. "With major institutions building on Solana and with the network processing over
