Highlights from our research and engineering — multi-client infrastructure, the modern go-ethereum re-baseline, and the post-quantum work behind XDSS-PQ. Each entry below links to the full write-up on this site.
This isn't a stream of announcements — it's an honest index of the deep-dives already on this site. Every card links to the full page it summarises.
How we re-based the XDPoS engine onto current go-ethereum and what it inherits — path-based state, Pebble, freezer, snap sync — with bit-exact consensus parity. The single most impactful infrastructure change in the XDC multi-client effort.
Read the deep-diveTrade documents must stay legally valid for 20–30 years — longer than most Q-Day estimates. Why that makes harvest-now-decrypt-later a present risk, and how XDSS-PQ answers it.
Read the analysisAn honest matrix of QRL, Algorand, QANplatform and XDC's XDSS-PQ — algorithm, EVM-compatibility, live-vs-roadmap status and focus, with sources.
Read the comparisonFour independent clients across three languages — go-ethereum (GP5), Erigon, Nethermind and Reth — live on mainnet, so no single implementation can halt the chain.
Read the architectureWhy we're mapping and migrating XDC's quantum-exposed surface now, and the post-quantum signature standard (XDSS-PQ) built on NIST-selected algorithms.
Read the initiativeWhy "when will quantum break ECDSA?" is best treated as a risk distribution — and what that means for 20–30 year trade documents you can't re-sign later.
Read the framingA walk through XDC's quantum-exposed surface — signatures, validator keys, bridges and P2P — and the harvest-now-decrypt-later threat model.
Read the researchOur take on Craig Gidney's 2025 estimate that breaking RSA-2048 may need far fewer qubits than once thought — and why it tightens the timeline for migration.
