Project Eleven, a post-quantum era security firm, has integrated Quantus into its Strongpoint institutional crypto custody platform. Quantus, a quantum-resistant network launched in September, will serve as a development partner and the second Strongpoint partner after Zcash Foundation.
Addressing Custody Infrastructure Gaps
Project Eleven is tackling a challenge that traditional crypto custody providers such as Coinbase Prime and Fidelity Digital Assets have not yet addressed: preparing institutional infrastructure for the post-quantum era.
According to Alex Pruden, CEO of Project Eleven, traditional custody systems were built for an environment where underlying cryptography rarely changed. The quantum computing threat is upending that model. Among the 10 blockchains that have announced post-quantum plans, approaches span 6 different post-quantum signature schemes, creating operational complexity for institutions.
Each blockchain also employs varied methods for account migration, key rotation, and asset recovery. Pruden stated that if every network adopts a different solution, institutions could be forced to rebuild their security infrastructure repeatedly.
Strongpoint's Approach
Strongpoint aims to offer a consistent operational layer separate from the underlying cryptography layer, allowing smooth custody operations despite evolving post-quantum standards. The general availability of the custody platform is expected in Q4 2026, with Quantus final integration anticipated in Q1 2027.
Market Response
The integration further establishes Quantus and its native token QTC as a post-quantum asset. QTC tripled from below $80 to nearly $190 following public awareness of quantum threats to crypto security, though it had cooled off by 25 percent at the time of reporting.
