Uniswap Cryptography & Quantum Risk Profile
Verdict
Profile view: UNI is not quantum-proof. It is a governance token on classical EVM account crypto; protocol contracts add admin surfaces.
Overview
This is the network/profile page for Uniswap in Wave 6b (multi-chain asset / network token).
UNI lives in the EVM world. Transfer authorization is secp256k1 for ordinary EOAs. Governance is a separate classical-key and contract-rules problem.

Cryptographic profile
- Signatures: ECDSA-secp256k1 for EOAs holding UNI, Governance / timelock admin patterns
- Hash: Keccak-256
- Public-key exposure: Holder EOAs and governance actors.

What breaks
- Classical authorization keys under Shor-class adversaries
- Bridge / issuer / operator keys outside user wallets
- Assuming L2 proofs or stablecoin branding equal PQC
Mitigations
- Inventory every key that moves value
- Map host chains for multi-chain assets
- Read methodology at /is-quantum-proof/quantum-safe-blockchain-claims
- Use /assessment for organizational posture
