GMX governance & Quantum Risk
Verdict
GMX governance is not quantum-proof. Token votes and executors use classical signatures; see also admin-keys spoke.
Overview
GMX admin-keys are documented separately; this page focuses on political/token control paths.
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: GMX voters and DAO executors
- Hosts/context: GMX token governance
What breaks
- Compromise of governance related keys for GMX
- 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/gmx for protocol context
- Use category hubs: lending, dex, perps, stablecoins
