• Tectonic Labshas releasedPQ Wallet, a browser-based EVM extension supporting Falcon-512 quantum-resistant signatures. • The implementation operates at the application layer, maintaining compatibility with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains without necessitating modifications to Layer 1 protocols. • The wallet is currently available for Chrome and Firefox, with additional command-line interface (CLI) support for automated developer workflows and integration into existing protocol infrastructures. • The architecture provides two distinct operating modes to manage the transition from classical to post-quantum cryptography. • The “Quantum-secure” mode utilizes Falcon-512 signatures immediately, which results in higher transaction fees due to the increased data size of quantum-resistant keys and signatures. • The “Quantum-ready” mode employs classical signing for current economic efficiency while pre-configuring post-quantum parameters during account creation, allowing for a modular upgrade to quantum resistance without requiring a full wallet migration.
