BOLTS Tests Quantum-Resilient Tech on Canton

BOLTS launches quantum-safe pilot

Catenaa, Monday, December 22, 2025-BOLTS Technologies has initiated a pilot program to test its quantum-resilient QFlex software on the Canton Network, a public blockchain designed for institutional finance.

The program aims to explore how QFlex can secure transactions against future quantum computing threats, known as Q-Day, which could undermine current cryptographic systems.

QFlex provides flexible, crypto-agile protection at the transaction level, allowing asset owners to adopt a wide range of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms without code changes.

The pilot aligns with regulatory frameworks like the EU’s PQS 2030 and DLT 2030, supporting the Canton Network’s institutional participants, which manage over $6 trillion in on-chain real-world assets.

BOLTS said the pilot will demonstrate how institutions can achieve quantum-ready security today, ensuring durable protection for blockchain transactions and real-world assets.

Canton Network processes over $4 trillion in repos monthly and serves a broad institutional ecosystem.

QFlex is built on the Structured Data Folding with Transmutations protocol, delivering dynamic cryptographic agility and enabling responsive threat mitigation.

BOLTS has received grants and patent recognition for its technology from US defense and standards organizations.

The pilot underscores the growing focus on future-proofing blockchain networks against quantum computing risks and advancing secure infrastructure for large-scale digital asset ecosystems.
