PRESS RELEASE — Project Eleven and Quantus today announced plans to integrate the Quantus Network with Strongpoint, Project Eleven’s institutional custody platform built for the post-quantum and AI era. Quantus joins as a development partner for Strongpoint support on the Quantus Network, helping shape the integration for institutional users.
As blockchain networks begin adopting post-quantum cryptography, they are unlikely to converge on a single signature scheme, migration path, or timeline. For institutions, that creates a growing infrastructure challenge: supporting different cryptographic standards across multiple networks while maintaining consistent security, governance, and operational controls.
Strongpoint is designed to address that challenge through a crypto-agile architecture that separates institutional controls from the cryptography used by the underlying network. Authentication, policies, approvals, key management, and audit operate through a common control layer while the cryptographic algorithms and network-specific requirements beneath them can change independently.
The planned integration will extend that architecture to Quantus. Quantus provides post-quantum security at the protocol level, while Strongpoint will enable institutions to secure Quantus keys and approve transactions through institutional hardware, policies, approval processes, and audit controls.
“Quantus is taking a forward-looking approach by building post-quantum security directly into its architecture,” said Alex Pruden, Co-Founder and CEO of Project Eleven. “As more networks adopt new cryptographic standards, institutions will need infrastructure that can support those changes without forcing them to rebuild their security and operational workflows each time. Strongpoint is designed to provide that consistent layer.”
As a development partner for the integration, Quantus will work with Project Eleven to help shape Strongpoint’s support for the network and the requirements of institutions operating on it. The companies expect to collaborate on technical integration, key-management workflows, transaction support, and other infrastructure required to bring Quantus into institutional custody environments.
“Quantus was designed around the security requirements of a post-quantum world,” said Christopher Smith, Co-Founder and CEO of Quantus. “For institutions, adopting new cryptography should not mean replacing the security, governance, and operational systems they already rely on. Working with Project Eleven will make it easier to support Quantus within existing key-management and transaction approval workflows, helping reduce the operational friction that can come with adopting a new cryptographic standard.”
Once support is available, institutions will be able to manage Quantus alongside other digital assets while maintaining a consistent approach to key security, transaction governance, and operational controls.
The collaboration is part of Project Eleven’s broader work with blockchain networks and institutions as it develops Strongpoint ahead of general availability.
Quantus support is targeted for Q1 2027, with final availability details to be announced ahead of launch.
