This article focuses on the design space of post-quantum solutions for Ethereum users, centered on protecting assets and therefore on the execution layer. Our argument, in short: the best answer here is more than a signature, it's a protocol, a set of choices and Ethereum components that have to work together.

This article focuses on the design space of post-quantum solutions for Ethereum users, centered on protecting assets and therefore on the execution layer. Our argument, in short: the best answer here is more than a signature, it's a protocol, a set of choices [...]
Building a fresh FORS signer on hardware signers can take seconds, stalling the user. The two-forest cache removes that stall by doing the slow work ahead of time, in the background, so the next key is already built when it is needed.
In this article we show a small but useful integration: using NiceTry ERC-4337 accounts as owners of an unmodified Safe multisig. The result is a 2-of-3 Safe operated by FORS+C-authenticated accounts, without teaching the Safe anything about FORS+C.
This post analyzes how post-quantum cryptography affects account abstraction, focusing specifically on the roles of paymasters and bundlers, and considers what happens when, and if, AA shifts to being powered by frame transactions.
Post-quantum security on EVM chains is increasingly moving through account abstraction. As proposals mature, no other practical path has emerged. While building NiceTry, the reference implementation of our Ephemeral Keys Protocol, we began testing frame [...]
NiceTry is our wallet infrastructure project, implementing a quantum-safe design for Ethereum wallets based on ephemeral key pairs and account abstraction. Instead of relying on a single long-lived signing key, the wallet rotates its signer after every [...]
A frame transaction is an ordered sequence of execution steps, each targeting a contract address, carrying an independent data payload, and operating in a designated mode. The node executes frames sequentially within a single transaction context, while the [...]
This article explains how our quantum-safe smart wallet design for Ethereum/EVM works, leveraging technologies that already exist today.
AI agents can't model what they can't observe. We introduce the assumption surface: a framework for measuring protocol opacity, and why minimizing it will determine which protocols capture agent-driven capital...
