Timelock

Contract that delays execution of admin actions—operational control, not a post-quantum algorithm.

Definition

Timelocks force a waiting period before privileged actions execute, improving transparency and response time against classical compromise.

They do not change the signature schemes of proposers or executors. Quantum planning still inventories those keys.
