Frax admin keys & Quantum Risk
Verdict
Frax admin keys are not quantum-proof. AMO and stable controllers are classical high-value roles.
Overview
Algorithmic-market-operations style modules concentrate operational keys—inventory each AMO.
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: AMO owners, pool managers, timelocks
- Hosts/context: AMO and stablecoin controllers
What breaks
- Compromise of admin keys related keys for Frax
- 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/frax for protocol context
- Use category hubs: lending, dex, perps, stablecoins
