Regulated trade finance faces two clocks: operational resilience and long-lived document security. XDC hardens the network, measured in production.
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).
Trade documents signed today may be cited in litigation in the 2050s. Harvest-now, decrypt-later means the migration deadline is the planning deadline, not Q-Day.
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 →An open signature standard built on NIST-selected algorithms (dual ML-DSA + Falcon) for long-lived trade-document integrity, introduced ahead of DORA, CNSA 2.0 and the EU PQC roadmap rather than claimed as finished.
