Built for the institutions that move global trade.
Regulated trade finance has two clocks ticking at once: the operational-resilience expectations regulators already enforce, and the quantum threat to documents that must stay verifiable for decades. XDC Innovation Labs is hardening XDC Network on both — measured in production, not promised.
A timeline regulated finance can plan against.
These are mandates and deprecation dates that apply to the regulated entities XDC serves — not XDC claims. The point of the post-quantum work is to be ready ahead of them.
Financial entities must demonstrate robust cryptographic controls and operational resilience.
New National Security Systems must be on post-quantum cryptography on a fixed timeline.
Full PQC migration target for EU critical infrastructure.
ECDSA and other quantum-vulnerable algorithms deprecated from NIST standards (IR 8547).
30-year documents can't wait for Q-Day.
Bills of lading and letters of credit carry multi-decade legal validity — a document signed today may be cited in litigation in the 2050s. Under "harvest-now, decrypt-later," an adversary can capture signed trade documents today and forge or repudiate them once a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer exists. You can't re-sign a document that's already legally settled, which is why the migration deadline that matters is the planning deadline (EU PQC 2030), not Q-Day itself.
Operational resilience by design
XDC mainnet runs four independent execution clients across three languages (go-ethereum/GP5, Erigon, Nethermind, Reth). A defect in any one leaves the others serving the chain — the multi-client resilience DORA expects of critical financial infrastructure. First XDPoS chain with full client diversity.
See the architecture →Post-quantum standard (XDSS-PQ)
An open signature standard built on NIST-selected algorithms (dual ML-DSA + Falcon) for long-lived trade-document integrity — being introduced ahead of DORA, CNSA 2.0 and the EU PQC roadmap rather than claimed as finished.

The modernization is measured in production with bit-exact consensus parity, and the live RPC comparison lets anyone verify client behavior in their browser. Read the spec and the evidence — don't take our word for it.
