AmericanFortress Launches Quantum-Resistant Protocol to Protect Dormant Crypto Assets

AmericanFortress has released a post-quantum signature scheme in its patent application, aimed at protecting existing crypto assets through backward-compatible soft forks and zero-knowledge proofs, including dormant wallets vulnerable to quantum attacks, such as Satoshi-era addresses. The protocol allows governance to decide whether to migrate, destroy, or reallocate funds. The scheme supports main chains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Tron, with minimal performance impact and only requires simple updates to node and wallet software. The project has received $8 million in seed round funding.
