Proof of Quantum
A decentralized challenge platform to measure quantum computers' progress at breaking the elliptic curve cryptography that secures wallet keys.

Securing digital commerce in an accelerating world.
AI and quantum computing are advancing fast. To guarantee free, secure trade in the future, we must secure our digital infrastructure now. At Pauli Group, we measure the progress of quantum threats and build open-source solutions to protect digital assets against the most advanced attacks.
What We Do
Measure & Build
Track quantum progress. Ship quantum-resistant defenses.
Our Impact
First for Ethereum
Anchor Wallet & Vault are the first and only quantum-resistant wallets for Ethereum.
Our Research
Shifted Consensus
"Brace for Impact" moved the expected attack window to 2029–2031.
The cryptography protecting billions was designed for a pre-quantum world.
Most blockchains rely on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) to secure wallets and transactions. Quantum computers running Shor's algorithm will break ECC. The question is not if, but when. Our research platform and publications track exactly where we stand.
$1.72 trillion
Value secured by ECC on public blockchains — all vulnerable to Shor's algorithm.
2029–2031
Earliest window for practical quantum attacks on Bitcoin, per "Brace for Impact" analysis.
500+ million
Crypto wallets worldwide rely on ECC. Every one of them needs upgrading.
From measuring the threat to building the defense.
Our work spans two pillars: tracking quantum progress with research and challenges, and shipping open-source tools that protect assets today.
Pillar 1 — Measure the Threat
Brace for Impact
Our paper raising awareness about the quantum risk for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. It contributed to the consensus that attacks could begin as early as 2029–2031.
