Stewardship · Post-quantum L1

Stewarding a currency built to outlast the quantum age.

The Soqucoin Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that supports the development of the Soqucoin post-quantum Layer 1 — funding research and audits, protecting the name, and holding the project to a public charter. No premine. No dev tax. Open source.

The quantum horizon Classical ECDSA signatures lose their security at the point large quantum computers arrive (Q-day); lattice-based ML-DSA-44 signatures do not. Data harvested today can be decrypted after Q-day. ML-DSA-44 · LATTICE ECDSA · CLASSICAL Q-DAY TODAY EXPOSED HARVEST NOW → DECRYPT LATER TIME SECURITY
Fig. 1 — The quantum horizon. Classical signatures (ECDSA) lose their security the day large quantum computers arrive; lattice signatures (ML-DSA-44) do not. Anything harvested before that day can be decrypted after it — which is why the migration has to happen now, not then.
§ 01 — Purpose
01

Development

Funding and coordinating the development of Soqucoin through research, audits, and protocol improvements.

02

Protection

Holding the Soqucoin trademark to prevent abuse, impersonation, and fraud using the name.

03

Trajectory

Maintaining a long-term, adaptable direction for the development and adoption of the protocol.

04

Research

Advancing lattice-based cryptography and post-quantum Layer 2 scaling, in the open.

§ 02 — Principles

Security is not a feature—it’s a foundation.

We operate without a premine, a dev tax, or an insider allocation. The charter ensures every holding and decision is publicly disclosed and auditable.

Five values guide the work: to be secure, fair, friendly, resilient, and principled. Read the full manifesto →

§ 03 — Transparency
Zero premine
No coins pre-allocated to founders, developers, or the Foundation. All SOQ is mined.
No dev tax
No ongoing fee or transaction tax directed to the Foundation.
Public holdings
All Foundation wallet addresses disclosed and auditable on-chain.
Open source
All code published under the MIT licence.
§ 04 — The long view

The Foundation’s horizon extends beyond any single milestone. We envision Soqucoin as durable infrastructure for quantum-resistant finance — built deliberately, audited independently, and governed in public.

The protocol, the wallet, the bridge, and the developer tools live across the wider ecosystem. The Foundation’s role is to steward the whole of it toward that horizon, without compromising the cryptography that makes it worth building.
