Some signature schemes used across crypto today could be broken by a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. Planning ahead means mapping exposure and preparing fixes before the risk becomes urgent.
ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɢᴏᴀᴛ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ
GOAT audited every cryptographic surface in its network for quantum exposure. The results, published in September, identify exposed surfaces and assign responsibility for each fix.
ᴛʜᴇ sᴇᴠᴇɴ ᴘʜᴀsᴇs
Inventory every verification path (GOAT).
ML-DSA-65 relayer attestation keys (GOAT).
Peg custody exposure policy (GOAT).
Close Ziren #276 (ZKM).
Stop verifying a pairing on Bitcoin (GOAT and ZKM).
Post-quantum consensus keys (GOAT).
goat-geth catch-up and precompile inventory (GOAT).
Five phases belong to GOAT, one to ZKM, and one is shared. The plan puts high-value work first and leaves the rebuild for last.
ᴡʜᴀᴛ’s ᴀʟʀᴇᴀᴅʏ ʙᴜɪʟᴛ
Phase 6, moving validator consensus keys to a post-quantum signature scheme, is already built and benchmarked.
ᴡʜᴀᴛ ʀᴇᴍᴀɪɴs ᴏɴɢᴏɪɴɢ
Reducing Bitcoin-side key exposure is ongoing. The peg custody fix depends on BIP-360 and Bitcoin’s timeline, not GOAT’s.
I appreciate the clear ownership labels. They make accountability visible and give the community something concrete to track.
The full breakdown and audit results are available in GOAT Network’s post on goat.network.
