Questions
Plain answers, with sources. Start with what Solana itself says.
01What does Solana say about quantum computing?
The Solana Foundation says quantum computing is still years away and that no change is required today or likely anytime soon. Solana’s core teams have published how a migration would work, so nobody needs to panic.
02What is Solana’s migration plan?
An owner proves, with a zero-knowledge proof, that they know the seed behind their existing key. The account is then bound to a new post-quantum key and keeps its address. The proof still works after the old signature scheme is switched off.
This is the real protection path. It uses your existing wallet. A record on this site is not part of it.
03Can a quantum computer break a Solana key today?
No. No machine can do this today. The latest published estimate for breaking a 256-bit elliptic-curve key needs under 500,000 physical qubits running error correction. Today’s largest processors have between about 100 and about 1,100 physical qubits.
04Do I need a record to keep my funds safe?
No. Solana’s planned migration is designed to work with your existing wallet. A record is a public pledge and nothing more.
05What is a record, exactly?
A public, timestamped record on Solana, written by your wallet, that contains the SHA-256 hashes of two post-quantum public keys you generated. It does not move, lock or protect anything, and it has no official standing with Solana or any wallet.
Some apps may choose to honour it one day. None has to.
06What is the Q-Score?
A number from 0 to 100 that reflects how much value depends on one key: min(100, round(12.5 × log10(1 + USD))). Every wallet’s public key is visible on-chain, which is normal and the same for everyone. The Q-Score is not a measure of risk today and not a security audit.
07Why Falcon-512 and SLH-DSA?
Falcon-512 is the scheme Solana’s two client teams, working independently, both arrived at as the leading candidate. SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s is a conservative, hash-based second key from the NIST standard FIPS 205, as a hedge.
08Is this Falcon the same as what Solana will use?
Not necessarily. The library implements Falcon Round 3, not FN-DSA, the final standard NIST has not yet published. Encodings may differ from what Solana eventually ships. Your record holds hashes of the keys you made, so it stays a valid pledge either way.
09Is post-quantum signing live on Solana?
Not at the protocol level. A proposal for a Falcon verification precompile was closed because Falcon already runs as an ordinary on-chain program. Larger transactions, which leave room for post-quantum signatures, went live on mainnet in September 2026.
10Where are my keys made?
In your browser, in a Web Worker, or offline with the command-line tool. The secret keys are encrypted with your passphrase into a backup file you download. The site never receives them.
11What if I lose my backup?
If you lose the file or the passphrase, those keys are gone. You can issue a new record at any time, and your number stays the same.
12Can I replace or remove my record?
Yes. Your wallet can issue a new record, which replaces the old one, or leave the Register at any time. If someone tricked you into signing a record with keys that are not yours, issue a new one. Every record stays visible in your history.
13What is the cutoff rule?
If Ed25519 signatures are ever considered broken, records made after that point prove nothing. Anyone relying on the Register must choose a cutoff slot and use each wallet’s latest record before it. We do not choose the cutoff. The verifier script takes --cutoff-slot.
14How do numbers and Genesis work?
A wallet gets a number if, at its first record, it held at least 0.1 SOL and its oldest earlier transaction found is at least 30 days older. Numbers follow the order of first records and never change. The first 10,000 are Genesis. A number confers nothing except the number.
15Why don’t control pages grade projects?
Because the chain does not grade them. A control page states who can upgrade a program or mint a token and how many signatures that takes, at the time shown. What that means for a project is for the reader to judge.
16Is there a token?
No. There is no token, no fee and no custody. Anything claiming to be a Claviger token is not ours.
17Who runs this site?
