Renzo governance & Quantum Risk
Verdict
Renzo governance is not quantum-proof. REZ voting uses classical signatures on host deployments.
Overview
Governance tokens do not make ezETH post-quantum; they add another classical key graph.
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: REZ voters and treasury
- Hosts/context: REZ governance
What breaks
- Compromise of governance related keys for Renzo
- 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/renzo for protocol context
- Use category hubs: lending, dex, perps, stablecoins
