Title: ApeBond and qLABS Explore Post-Quantum Security for DeFi Treasuries

Panama, 22nd Jun 2026 - qLABS and ApeBond today announced a collaboration to explore post-quantum security for DeFi treasury assets. ApeBond has begun evaluating qVAULT, the post-quantum, self-custody vault qLABS launched on 18 June, as it looks at how protocol funds could be protected against the quantum timeline.Nearly every public blockchain in production today secures funds with elliptic-curve signatures. A sufficiently capable quantum computer is expected to recover a private key from any public key that has appeared on chain. Under a harvest now, decrypt later model, an attacker can record exposed public keys today and recover the private keys once the hardware exists. For a protocol treasury that is meant to last, that is a standing liability.ApeBond is assessing the threat model, the custody design, and how Falcon-based, self-custody protection could apply to a protocol treasury, before any decision to move assets. The starting point is qVAULT, which signs with Falcon, the scheme NIST selected for post-quantum standardization, and keeps keys on the holder's own device.Quote, LanKy, CEO, ApeBond:As a multi-chain bonding marketplace supporting protocol assets across multiple networks, we believe treasury protection needs to evolve before new risks become urgent. Post-quantum security is still early for DeFi, but evaluating solutions like qVAULT helps us understand how protocols can prepare for the next generation of custody standards without compromising self-custody or operational flexibility.Quote, Ada Jonuse, Executive Director, qLABS:The teams looking at quantum risk before they are forced to are the ones who will be ready for it. ApeBond exploring post-quantum security with us is the right instinct, and we welcome the scrutiny that comes with it.About qVAULT....
