Instanodes Introduces Post-Quantum Accounts for Ethereum and Solana
New cryptographic engineering and quantum-readiness services help blockchain businesses assess emerging security risks and prepare account infrastructure for future cryptographic requirements.
MOHALI, India, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Instanodes, a blockchain infrastructure provider offering RPC endpoints across more than 50 blockchain networks, dedicated nodes, validators and rollup infrastructure, today announced post-quantum account engineering for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible networks and Solana. The expanded offering also includes quantum-readiness assessments and custom cryptographic engineering services for businesses evaluating their existing account security architectures.
Preparing Blockchain Accounts for Future Quantum Risks
Blockchain accounts predominantly rely on elliptic-curve cryptography for transaction authorization. However, advancements in quantum computing research have raised concerns about the long-term security of existing blockchain security architectures. Research published by Google Quantum AI in March 2026 and IonQ in September 2026 presented updated resource estimates examining how future fault-tolerant quantum computers could threaten widely used cryptographic methods.
For businesses managing digital assets, these developments highlight the need to evaluate existing blockchain security solutions and prepare for potential cryptographic vulnerabilities. Wallets, custody platforms, smart contracts, and blockchain protocols may contain cryptographic dependencies that require assessment and migration planning. Preparing for quantum-resistant cryptography involves evaluating account architecture, signature verification, key management, and asset authorization mechanisms.
Post-Quantum Account Implementations for Ethereum and Solana
Instanodes has developed and tested post-quantum account implementations for Ethereum and Solana using hash-based digital signatures for account-level authorization. These implementations are designed to reduce dependence on conventional elliptic-curve signatures within account-level asset authorization, with verification mechanisms adapted to each blockchain's execution environment.
On Ethereum, post-quantum signature verification can be integrated into programmable smart-account architectures, including ERC-4337, which supports custom signature-validation logic. On Solana, similar account designs require custom program-level signature verification and asset-control mechanisms. However, these implementations do not replace Solana's native transaction-signature infrastructure, which continues to use Ed25519.
Through these implementations, Instanodes aims to help exchanges, custodians, and blockchain protocols evaluate alternative cryptographic approaches for account security and prepare their infrastructure for evolving quantum computing capabilities.
