Postquant Labs unveils QuipSwap — a bridgeless, quantum-resistant way to swap assets across chains Postquant Labs, the team behind quantum computing protocol quip.network, has announced the public debut of QuipSwap, a “Bridgeless Swap Protocol” designed to enable trustless cross-chain asset swaps without bridges, oracles or wrapped tokens. What’s new - QuipSwap replaces the traditional bridge/oracle model with a peer-to-peer mechanism that lets two parties agree a swap and exchange wallet access across different chains in a synchronized, atomic way. The protocol’s design means if one party claims their side of the trade, the counterparty immediately receives their claim key — eliminating unilateral “take-backs,” according to the team. - By avoiding wrapped assets and third-party intermediaries — historically the vectors behind billions in hack and exploit losses — the protocol aims to close a frequently exploited attack surface in cross-chain finance. Why quantum resistance matters Postquant Labs frames QuipSwap as more than a safer swap UX: it’s part of a broader push to future-proof blockchains against quantum attacks. As quantum computing capabilities advance, conventional cryptography that secures many chains becomes vulnerable. The Quip team argues that upgrading only a single chain is insufficient — every link a transaction traverses must be quantum-resistant. “You can’t run a distributed computation network where your own miners can break your cryptography,” said Dr. Richard Carback, CTO and co‑founder of Postquant Labs. “No chain supports quantum computation, so we had to build our own,” he added, pointing to quip.network as the company’s quantum computing infrastructure. How it was validated - The live “claim” flow was demonstrated at ETHDenver in February. - The core codebase is complete and has undergone testing and a formal security audit by Oak Security, with the audit results published as part of the launch announcement. Additional tooling and openness Alongside QuipSwap, quip.network has rolled out quantum-resistant wallets in beta for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana — intended to harden user keys and transaction layers before quantum capabilities arrive. All of the team’s research and code are open-source, with the stated goal of establishing an industry-wide quantum computing standard for blockchain systems. Leadership view Colton Dillion, CEO and co‑founder of Postquant Labs, described QuipSwap as enabling users to trade across chains “like a P2P swap” without relying on intermediaries, bridges or oracles. Takeaway QuipSwap presents a novel approach to cross-chain trading by eliminating traditional bridging components and explicitly baking in quantum-resistance thinking. The protocol’s real-world security and UX will hinge on broad testing and adoption, but the launch — demoed publicly and audited by an external firm — marks a meaningful step in efforts to reduce cross-chain risk while preparing infrastructure for the coming quantum era.
