marginfi Cryptography & Quantum Risk Profile
Verdict
Profile view: marginfi is not quantum-proof. Solana signatures and lending admin/oracle dependencies are classical public-key risk.
Overview
This is the Wave 7e network/profile page for marginfi (app).
marginfi is a Solana lending protocol. Quantum framing matches Solana DeFi: user keys, bank admins, oracles, keepers.
Borrowers and LPs should inventory allowances and admin roles.
Verdict hub: /is-quantum-proof/marginfi. Asset framing: /crypto/mrgn.
Cryptographic profile
What breaks
- Classical signatures authorizing MRGN value under Shor-class adversaries once public keys are known
- Custodial hot wallets and exchange operational keys
- Bridges, issuers, or operator sets outside ordinary user wallets
- Protocol admin, oracle, or guardian keys
Mitigations
- Inventory every key that can move MRGN (self-custody, exchange, multisig, protocol roles)
- Name the host chain and bridge path for every balance
- Document operator/admin sets for L2s and apps
- Track ecosystem PQC research; branding is not deployment
- Use /assessment and claims methodology pages for program framing
FAQ
Isolated banks safer vs quantum?
Risk isolation is classical market design; signatures stay classical.
