Insights & updates.
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.
What we've published.
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.
XDPoS on pristine go-ethereum v1.17.3 — measured
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-dive →Quantum-safe trade finance: will an on-chain document survive Q-Day?
Trade 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 analysis →Quantum-resistant blockchains compared (2026)
An honest matrix of QRL, Algorand, QANplatform and XDC's XDSS-PQ — algorithm, EVM-compatibility, live-vs-roadmap status and focus, with sources.
Read the comparison →XDC achieves full multi-client diversity
Four independent clients across three languages — go-ethereum (GP5), Erigon, Nethermind and Reth — live on mainnet, so client diversity can reduce shared implementation risk, subject to validator distribution and consensus thresholds.
Read the architecture →Introducing the XDC PQ Initiative & XDSS-PQ
Why 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 initiative →Q-Day is a probability, not a date
Why "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 framing →Quantum threats to XDC — a technical deep-dive
A walk through XDC's quantum-exposed surface — signatures, validator keys, bridges and P2P — and the harvest-now-decrypt-later threat model.
Read the research →Reading the 2025 Gidney result on RSA-2048
Our 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.
