Key Points
- SEC Recognizes Post-Quantum Blockchain as a Standard for Protecting Digital Assets.
- Research Proposes Roadmap for Financial Infrastructure Secure Against Quantum Threats.
- Independent Study Validates Cybersecurity Solution for Web3 and Web2 in the Post-Quantum Era.
Naoris Protocol, a quantum-resistant blockchain architecture and cybersecurity mesh, has been cited in independent research submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a reference model for blockchain infrastructure resistant to quantum threats. The document, part of the Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework (PQFIF), identifies Naoris as a standard for protecting digital assets against quantum computing risks.
The research, submitted to the U.S. Crypto Assets Task Force, outlines the need for financial systems that are secure against quantum computing and proposes a roadmap to protect trillions of dollars in digital assets.
The document highlights:
- The integration of zero-knowledge proofs in Naoris to comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.
- Its deployment in real-world pilots, compared with the BIS’s Project Agorá, for gradual regulatory alignment.
In this context, Naoris Protocol is developing trusted infrastructure for Web3, DeFi, DePINs and institutional-grade blockchain security, protecting digital infrastructure against current and future threats from quantum computers.
The inclusion of Naoris in this research submitted to the SEC represents a significant advance in cryptographic infrastructure, as it is the first blockchain protocol singled out as a reference for protecting trillions of dollars in digital assets against quantum threats.
The research also suggests that institutions adopt the Naoris approach for a transition to post-quantum standards, highlighting it as a proven solution compared with untested approaches. In addition, it notes that with 20 billion devices migrating to post-quantum standards over the next two decades, Naoris would already have a head start in contributing to the post-quantum cryptography migration market, valued at more than $7.1 billion.
David Carvalho, Founder and CEO of Naoris, stated: “Our citation in this research reflects our work in building secure infrastructure for a new era.”
Naoris operates a network that turns nodes into incentivized validators, protecting transactions, enterprise systems, IoT devices and decentralized exchanges through post-quantum cryptography and Decentralized Proof of Security consensus.
Since its testnet launched in January, Naoris has processed more than 98 million post-quantum transactions, onboarded 3.3 million wallets, operated 1 million security nodes, mitigated 463 million cyber threats and developed 31 projects in sectors such as finance, telecommunications and defense.
Led by David Carvalho, the team includes David Holtzman, former CTO of IBM; Ahmed Réda Chami, former CEO of Microsoft North Africa; Mick Mulvaney, former White House Chief of Staff; and Inge Kampenes, former head of Norway’s Cyber Defence.
