Project Eleven, a specialist in post-quantum security and digital asset migration, has announced a collaboration with the Solana Foundation. The work focuses on preparing the Solana network for future risks linked to quantum computing. As part of the project, Project Eleven completed a full security threat review and built a working Solana testnet using post-quantum digital signatures.
Through this work, Project Eleven analysed how future quantum developments could affect Solana’s infrastructure. This included risks to user wallets, validator operations, and long-term cryptographic design. The team also deployed a post-quantum signature system on a Solana testnet, demonstrating that quantum-resistant transactions can operate across the full system and scale to network use.
“Our responsibility is to ensure Solana remains secure not just today, but decades into the future,” said Matt Sorg, VP, Technology at the Solana Foundation. “The Solana ecosystem’s culture of shipping will continue with the release of a second client and state of the art consensus mechanism this year. Efforts like Project Eleven’s reflect early, concrete steps to strengthen the network and stay at the forefront, ensuring Solana’s resiliency long-term.”
Project Eleven operates at the intersection of cryptography research and blockchain engineering. The company develops post-quantum tools, monitoring systems, and migration plans for major blockchain networks and ecosystem partners.
“Our mission is to protect the world’s digital assets from quantum risk,” said Alex Pruden, CEO of Project Eleven. “Solana didn’t wait for quantum computers to become a headline problem. They invested early, asked the hard questions, and took actionable steps today. The results show that post-quantum security on Solana is viable with today’s technology.”
The work carried out on Solana reflects a wider move across the blockchain sector toward quantum-safe systems. As research in quantum computing advances, specialists warn that blockchains relying on classical cryptography could face future risks. These include asset theft, fake validator identities, and interference with core cryptographic systems.
Project Eleven will continue to support the Solana ecosystem as it reviews long-term migration options, technical standards, and adoption of post-quantum cryptographic methods.
