GMX oracles & Quantum Risk
Verdict
GMX oracle dependencies are not quantum-proof. Perps liquidations and PnL hinge on classical price integrity.
Overview
Perps without honest prices fail open. Inventory GMX price pipeline keys and providers.
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: Oracle keepers and price sources as deployed
- Hosts/context: Price feeds for GMX markets
What breaks
- Compromise of oracles 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
