Camelot admin keys & Quantum Risk
Verdict
Camelot admin keys are not quantum-proof. Plugin and factory controllers remain classical privileged roles.
Overview
Inventory plugin admins separately from passive LP positions.
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: Factory owners, plugin admins, treasury
- Hosts/context: Arbitrum factories and plugins
What breaks
- Compromise of admin keys related keys for Camelot
- 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/camelot for protocol context
- Use category hubs: lending, dex, perps, stablecoins
