the quantum-resistant inu launchpad
Launch a coin.
Keep the shiba
on watch.
Qinu is a Solana launchpad built for the day quantum computers can read keys. Launch a coin in one form, scan any wallet's exposure today, and let Kibo the shiba keep watch for q-day. Hash-locked vaults are on the way.

The problem
Four steps to q-day.
Why a Solana wallet that's safe today might not stay safe.
Your address is your key.
A Solana address isn't a hash of anything. It is your ed25519 public key, in plain base58, visible to anyone the first time a coin lands in it. Today that's fine: walking back from public key to private key would outlast the sun on any normal computer.
Everything is being kept.
Every balance, transfer and key on Solana is copied to thousands of machines and kept forever. Nobody has to break your wallet today. They only have to keep the data and wait for better tools. Store now, crack later.
Then q-day arrives.
A large enough, error-corrected quantum computer running Shor's algorithm turns a public key back into a private one. On a chain where every address is a public key, that's every wallet at once.
Unless it's in a vault.
A Qinu vault won't have an elliptic-curve key at all. Its funds move only with a one-time hash-based signature, and Shor's algorithm has nothing to say about hashes. Vaults are in development; this is the plan, not a live product.
How it works
Hashes, not curves.
The four pieces we're building. Each is shown as it's designed; none of these are live yet.
SOL behind a hash
A vault is an account whose owner is the hash of a Winternitz one-time public key. To move what's inside, you reveal points along hash chains, chosen by the exact message you sign. No elliptic curve, nothing for Shor to attack.
- ▸ many hash chains, one per digit of the message
- ▸ one key signs once; change rolls to a fresh vault
- ▸ status: in development
A dev who can sign more than once
A dev needs to post updates and prove they're still in control. So each dev gets a tree of one-time keys whose root is published with the coin. Each update uses a fresh leaf, checked with hashes alone.
- ▸ Merkle tree of one-time keys (XMSS-style)
- ▸ root bound to the coin's mint
- ▸ status: in development
A wallet nobody can open
The canary is SOL at an address whose private key was destroyed the moment it was made. No ordinary computer can ever move it. If it moves, someone derived a key from a public key, and that's the signal.
- ▸ anyone can watch it on chain
- ▸ it moving is the q-day alarm
- ▸ status: not deployed yet
Your escape, signed in advance
Arm an auto-bunker and you pre-approve a move into your vault. It waits, unsent. If the canary dies, it fires. Or go into bunker mode now and seal everything at once.
- ▸ auto-bunker: armed, fires on the alarm
- ▸ bunker mode: move now, one approval
- ▸ status: coming soon
Canary & bunker
If the canary dies, you're already out.
Miners took canaries underground because the bird would warn them first. Ours is a wallet nobody can sign for. When it moves, every armed bunker fires its pre-signed escape.
The canary is alive.
preview: canary wallet not deployed yet
SOL at an address whose key was destroyed when it was made. Only a quantum computer, or whoever kept the key, could move it. We'll publish the address and how it was generated here.

Timeline
The road to q-day.
Thirty years of quantum computing, from a paper to chips with thousands of qubits.
- 1994Shor's algorithm
Peter Shor shows a quantum computer could factor and take discrete logs fast, which in principle breaks RSA and elliptic-curve keys.
closer - 200115 = 3 × 5
IBM runs Shor's algorithm on a 7-qubit NMR machine and factors 15. A toy result, but a real one.
closer - 2019Sycamore
Google's 53-qubit chip completes a sampling task it says would take a classical supercomputer thousands of years.
closer - 2021Eagle
IBM's Eagle processor passes 100 qubits on a single chip, at 127.
closer - 2023Condor
IBM's Condor goes past a thousand qubits on one processor.
closer - 2024NIST standards
NIST publishes its first post-quantum standards, including SLH-DSA, a stateless hash-based signature scheme.
defense - 2024Willow
Google's 105-qubit Willow chip shows logical errors dropping as the error-correcting code grows: the threshold result the field had chased for decades.
closer - 2025Majorana 1
Microsoft announces a chip built on topological qubits, a different route toward stable machines.
closer - 2025Under a million
A new estimate puts RSA-2048 within reach of under a million noisy qubits running for under a week, down from about 20 million in 2019.
closer - 20256,100 atoms
Caltech traps 6,100 neutral-atom qubits in a single array, the largest so far.
closer - nowQinu
A launchpad on Solana with a shiba on watch, a wallet scanner today, and hash-locked vaults on the way.
defense - ?Q-day
The day a quantum computer can derive a wallet's private key from its public key. Nobody knows when. Kibo is watching.
