01 / LEGACY SPEED
Ed25519
Solana’s familiar, hardware-friendly signature path stays in the transaction for network compatibility.
A different kind of readiness.
Built for the day
the old assumptions break.
Analux is a concept for a Solana asset that pairs familiar speed with a second, post-quantum signature layer—so protection is part of every transfer.
The problem
Fast today.
Ready for what’s next.
Solana’s high-performance Ed25519 signatures are an elegant fit for today’s network. The Analux proposal adds a second proof for a future where public-key cryptography faces quantum pressure.
01 — Hybrid signing
Two signatures.
One authorization.
Every proposed Analux transaction carries the native Solana signature and an additional Falcon-512 signature. Both are intended to validate before an action is accepted.
02 / PQ RESILIENCE
Falcon-512
A compact lattice-based signature supplies the proposal’s second, quantum-resistant verification layer.
02 — ADKI-512
A dual-key identity.
Analux Dual-Key Identity 512, or ADKI-512, describes a public identity composed of two distinct public keys—one traditional and one post-quantum.
03 — Designed around the packet
Compact enough
to move at Solana speed.
The paper selects Falcon-512 over the larger Falcon-1024 variant to leave room for standard transaction data within Solana’s network packet constraints.
The payload grows. The network fit remains intentional.
SIGNATURE FOOTPRINTThe whitepaper describes a more than 500-byte buffer for ordinary transaction data—an explicit trade-off between post-quantum protection and network efficiency.
04 — Verification
Verified twice.
Authorized once.
In the proposed program flow, the conventional signature maintains compatibility while Falcon-512 verification is enforced by the Analux program before a transfer completes.
Transaction initiatedTransaction data and both signatures enter the proposed flow.

05 — Quantum insurance
Performance
has a premium.
Post-quantum verification asks more of validators. The whitepaper proposes a mandatory fee to compensate that additional compute work and preserve prioritization during congestion.
DQIP / PROPOSED FIXED PREMIUM
0.001 SOL
Dynamic Quantum Insurance Premium is described as a protocol-level addition to the regular transaction fee for every quantum-wrapped transfer.
WHY IT’S ALWAYS ON
No downgrade path.
Making the second check optional would open a weaker route. The proposal keeps quantum verification mandatory to avoid downgrade attacks.
06 — Looking deeper
Protect the path, not just the transfer.
The paper recognizes that program-level checks occur after the native signature path. It proposes eventual banking-stage or validator-plugin integration so malformed post-quantum signatures can be rejected before execution costs land.
✓
Reject malformed signatures earlier.
Security that
keeps moving.
Analux proposes a practical bridge: retain the speed people expect from Solana, while bringing a quantum-resistant proof into every transaction.
