Aerodrome admin keys & Quantum Risk
Verdict
Aerodrome admin roles are not quantum-proof. Council and minter keys remain classical high-value surfaces on Base.
Overview
Separate gauge voters from emergency/admin modules when building a key inventory.
Cryptographic profile
- Signatures: Host-chain account signatures for role holders (typically classical ECDSA/Ed25519), Multisig/module keys as deployed
- Hash: Host-chain dependent
- Public-key exposure: Voter, minter, emergency council roles as deployed
- Hosts/context: Base deployment admins
What breaks
- Compromise of admin keys related keys for Aerodrome
- Equating role separation or multisig with post-quantum algorithms
- Untracked multi-chain deployments of the same protocol
Mitigations
- Document privileged addresses from official docs per chain
- Hardware/MPC for guardians, admins, and large governors
- Return to /is-quantum-proof/aerodrome for protocol context
- Use category hubs: lending, dex, perps, stablecoins
