Colosseum Frontier Hackathon 2026 Patent #64/035,857 — 4 Claims Proven On-Chain

The First Quantum-Safe Vault on Solana

SOQ-TEC eliminates the quantum gap in cross-chain custody. Bridge tokens directly into hash-based vaults — no Ed25519 wallet ever touches your assets. All proven on Solana devnet with verifiable on-chain transactions.

16× More Signatures Than Winternitz
0 Ed25519 Keys In Critical Path
7 E2E Steps Proven On-Chain
3 Patent Claims Verified

Nothing Like This Exists

The only quantum-safe vault on Solana handles 1 signature and SOL only. We built the next generation.

Patent Claims — All Proven On-Chain

Patent Application #64/035,857 — XMSS-Lite Revolving Vault

✓ Claim 1 — Verified

XMSS-Lite on Blockchain VM

Full Merkle tree commitment with on-chain leaf index enforcement and WOTS+ signature verification — the first stateful hash-based signature scheme executing inside a smart contract.

✓ Claim 2 — Verified

Direct-Mint-to-Quantum-Vault

Bridge mints SPL tokens directly into the vault's ATA via CPI. Tokens never touch an Ed25519 wallet — the quantum-breakable gap is eliminated entirely.

✓ Claim 4 — Verified

Hybrid PQ Bridge + Hash-Based Custody

End-to-end flow: L1 lock → bridge mint → quantum vault → WOTS+ withdrawal. Classical bridge infrastructure composing atomically with post-quantum custody.

✓ Security Property

On-Chain Key Reuse Prevention

Monotonic leaf_index enforced at the smart contract level prevents catastrophic WOTS+ key reuse. Attempted reuse returns LeafIndexMismatch — proven in the E2E demo.

Verified On Solana Devnet

Every step of the E2E pipeline is a real, verifiable Solana transaction.

Step 1–2

Key Generation + Bridge Verify

16 WOTS+ keypairs generated offline. Bridge state verified: 2-of-3 threshold active.

Step 3

Vault Opened

XMSS vault PDA created with Merkle root commitment on-chain.

Step 4 — Patent Claim 2

Direct Mint to Vault

4,995 pSOQ minted directly into vault ATA. Zero Ed25519 wallets.

Explorer →
Step 5 — Patent Claim 1

WOTS+ Withdrawal

1,000 pSOQ withdrawn with quantum-safe WOTS+ signature + Merkle proof.

Explorer →
Step 6

Key Reuse Rejected

Attempted reuse of WOTS+ key #0 rejected with LeafIndexMismatch.

Step 7

Revolving Withdrawal

Second withdrawal with key #1 — proves multi-signature vault capability.
