The quantum native foundation qLABS opens early access to qVAULT, a self-custody vault that signs with Falcon (FN-DSA), giving Hyperliquid and qONE holders a direct path to move assets into a post-quantum self-custody environment.
Panama, 9th Jun 2026 – The quantum-native Web3 foundation, qLABS, has opened early access to qVAULT, a post-quantum, self-custody vault for crypto. qVAULT gives holders across the Hyperliquid ecosystem a direct path to move their assets into custody built to resist the threat quantum computers pose to today’s blockchains. This is currently the only operational product allowing users to hold Hyperliquid’s HYPE tokens in a quantum-resistant way.
qLABS’ native token $qONE has traded on Hyperliquid since February 2026. With qVAULT now live, holders can move assets out of standard ECDSA-only control and behind post-quantum protection in three steps.
The Quantum Threat to Today’s Blockchains
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major public blockchains secure funds with elliptic-curve signature schemes such as ECDSA, EdDSA, and Schnorr. HyperEVM, Hyperliquid’s Ethereum-compatible execution layer, authenticates transactions with ECDSA over the secp256k1 curve, the same scheme Ethereum uses.
A sufficiently capable quantum computer will break that cryptography, exposing any address whose public key has appeared on chain. The risk is not only future-dated. Under a harvest-now-decrypt-later model, an attacker records exposed keys today and decrypts them once the hardware arrives. Every public key already on chain is a standing liability.
Hyperliquid is the leading on-chain perpetuals exchange, with more than $3.5 trillion in cumulative trading volume and over $9 billion in open interest, built on its HyperCore order-book engine and the HyperEVM smart-contract layer.
How qVAULT Works
qVAULT closes the quantum-threat gap on Hyperliquid’s HyperEVM at the level a user controls: their own custody. It signs with Falcon (FN-DSA), the compact lattice-based signature scheme NIST selected for post-quantum standardization (FN-DSA, FIPS 206). qLABS holds keys and seed phrases at no point. The cryptography runs underneath a familiar interface.
The path to quantum resistance is built around three steps:
- Connect. Connect an existing non-custodial web3 wallet like MetaMask to qVAULT.
- Create. Generate a post-quantum vault secured by Falcon signatures. Keys stay under the user’s control; qLABS never holds keys or seed phrases.
- Bring assets across. Move holdings into the vault, out of ECDSA-only control and behind post-quantum protection.
Early access participants who complete the migration are eligible for qVAULT’s early-access rewards.
Security Audits and Technical Advisory
qVAULT ships with a published litepaper documenting its threat model, architecture, and Falcon integration, along with a number of completed independent security audits.
The build is guided by a technical advisory board that includes Dr. Edoardo Persichetti, a co-author of a NIST post-quantum cryptography standard, and Aaron Moore, former CTO of QuSecure and formerly of the NSA and DARPA.
“Hyperliquid users deserve a standards-conformant path to quantum resistance. The industry has spent years debating roadmaps while every public key already revealed on chain sits exposed to harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks. qVAULT is where that debate becomes a product anyone can actually use. We started with the holders closest to us, on Hyperliquid, and gave them a path to move their assets somewhere built for what is coming.” — Andrew Cheung, CTO, qLABS; President & CEO, 01 Quantum Inc. (TSXV: ONE; OTCQB: OONEF)
About qVAULT
qVAULT is a post-quantum, self-custody smart-contract vault for crypto, currently in the early access campaign. It signs with Falcon (NIST-selected for standardization as FN-DSA, FIPS 206, in public review) and preserves self-custody throughout. qLABS never holds keys or seed phrases.
About qLABS
qLABS is a quantum-native Web3 foundation focused on post-quantum security for digital assets. The foundation operates qONE, its native token on Hyperliquid; qVAULT, a post-quantum self-custody vault; and a published research program covering blockchain quantum vulnerability across the largest Layer-1 networks, including the L1 Quantum Vulnerability Index. qLABS’ strategic partners include 01 Quantum Inc. (TSXV: ONE; OTCQB: OONEF). 01 Quantum is a strategic partner, not a backer of qLABS.
