Covering blockchain’s blind side
SpiceX gives owners the power to choose the crypto lock for their digital assets across blockchain ecosystems, combining crypto-agility with post-quantum resilience using SDFT technology.
Blockchains today mostly rely on ECDSA
A cryptographic standard vulnerable to quantum attack. A sudden breakthrough in quantum computing would render all wallets, assets, and transactions insecure. Cryptographic agility is no longer optional. It's mission-critical.
Permissioned Blockchains
Compliance Risks
Enterprises must meet deadlines for PQC mandated by NSM-10, CNSA 2.0, etc.
Operational Overhead
Manual cipher upgrades across large systems require costly specialized personnel.
Integration Challenges
Diverse systems using mismatched cryptography break interoperability.
Permissionless Blockchains
Protocol Inflexibility
Open consensus mechanisms can’t easily upgrade crypto without forking.
Wallet Exposure
Keys protected by ECDSA are permanently vulnerable to future decryption.
Downtime Risk
Upgrading live systems introduces delays, forks, and user disruption.
The Approach
Rapid Deployment of the latest ciphers at scale.
Cipher Neutrality
No shared cipher agreement is needed.Each party can use its own cryptographic choice independently.
Crypto Agility
Dynamically upgrade ciphers at runtime — supporting PQC transitions without downtime or service disruption.
Cryptographic Assembly-Line
Standardized, low-effort deployment framework for new cryptographic primitives and algorithms.
Why now?
Quantum threats are here. Encrypted data is being harvested now to decrypt later — and quantum breakthroughs won’t be announced. Security needs to adapt continuously, without friction or downtime.`
Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL)
(sometimes called Steal Now, Harvest Later or SNHL)
Adversaries are capturing data today for future decryption with quantum tools.
Cipher Uncertainty
We don’t yet know which post-quantum algorithms will remain unbroken.
Q-Day Surprise Factor
The day quantum computers break current encryption. Cryptographically-relevant quantum computers (CRQC) won’t be disclosed publicly.
Transitions Are Rigid
Upgrading cryptography is still a manual, costly, and slow process.
Compliance Pressure
Regulatory bodies are accelerating timelines for PQC readiness. The NSA’s timeline requires full US PQC adoption by 2035, while some allies aim to finish by 2030
Cipher-Level Flexibility
Change ciphers per-message to avoid downtime and maintain operational continuity.

Because, in crypto, it's not about who has access to the code — it’s about communications in the presence of adversaries.
