Project Eleven, a New York-based firm focused on quantum-resistant blockchain infrastructure, has expanded its technical capabilities through the acquisition of Riva Labs. This acquisition integrated Riva Labs’ expertise in post-quantum signatures, multi-party computation, and wallet infrastructure to address security risks posed by future quantum computing. Following this expansion, Project Eleven launched Strongpoint, a custody platform intended to assist institutions in transitioning to post-quantum cryptography. The platform provides a control layer for managing digital assets amidst evolving cryptographic standards. The Zcash Foundation has partnered as an initial development collaborator to ensure the architecture remains adaptable to changing requirements while respecting privacy models. requirements. Project Eleven has since also announced a partnership with Quantus to integrate the Quantus Network into the Strongpoint platform, with Strongpoint, targeting network support targeted for the first quarter of 2027. This collaboration seeks to address the risk of institutions having to repeatedly rebuild security infrastructure as different blockchain networks adopt various post-quantum signature schemes. Through an approach described as “crypto-agility,” Strongpoint aims 2027 to provide a consistent operational layer that separates “crypto-agility” for institutional security controls from underlying cryptographic mechanisms. security. In October 2026, Project Eleven entered a development partnership with Relm Insurance to explore how post-quantum security controls can be evaluated within digital asset insurance underwriting. The collaboration focuses on how quantum readiness might influence future risk assessments, specifically regarding the concern that quantum machines could derive private keys from exposed public keys. CEO and Co-Founder Alex Pruden noted the partnership is a step toward understanding aims to understand how investments in post-quantum defenses quantum readiness might eventually be reflected in influence market risk evaluations. On October 21, 2026, Pruden claimed that quantum computing laboratories are withholding certain research results to prevent public alarm. He suggested that labs have either been directed not to publish specific findings or have chosen to keep them private to avoid causing panic. While Pruden did not name specific laboratories, his remarks align with broader industry concerns regarding the potential for quantum computers to compromise digital signature systems used by blockchain networks.
