Overview
- BTQ Technologies and Bonsol Labs reported the first integration of NIST-standardized ML‑DSA (FIPS 204/CRYSTALS‑Dilithium) signature verification within the Solana ecosystem.
- The design offloads heavy post‑quantum computation to Bonsol’s verifiable‑compute network while anchoring proofs on-chain to maintain verifiable trust.
- BTQ and Bonsol say Solana’s high-speed performance is retained, with testing presented as a working demo rather than a network‑wide production rollout.
- BTQ states its Quantum Compute‑in‑Memory hardware accelerates post‑quantum cryptography and Bonsol’s off‑chain proving, a commercialization path that has not yet undergone broad independent validation.
- BTQ shares rose about 15% following the announcement, as coverage also cited Federal Reserve research warning of crypto data being stockpiled for future quantum decryption and highlighted NIST standards as a compliance baseline.
