Sky/Maker governance and executive keys & Quantum Risk
Verdict
Sky/Maker governance and executive keys: still classical key risk unless PQC is verified. Sky/Maker-class systems are not quantum-proof. Governance and executive paths use classical chain crypto; stablecoin and RWA modules add issuer-like operational risk beyond a simple ERC-20.
Overview
Executive spells and governance controllers are among DeFi’s most important admin surfaces. Their keys are classical on Ethereum today.
Treasuries integrating Sky/Maker systems should document those addresses the same way they document multisigs.
This spoke isolates the governance key graph for Sky (Maker) on host chains: ethereum. User wallets remain classical on those hosts unless a different scheme is proven.

Cryptographic profile
- Signatures: ECDSA-secp256k1 (governance/token), Spell/executive admin paths as deployed
- Hash: Host-chain dependent
- Public-key exposure: Governance token holders + executive spells + stablecoin/RWA-related admin surfaces
What breaks
- Compromise of governance related keys
- Equating role separation with post-quantum algorithms
Mitigations
- Document role addresses from official docs
- Enforce hardware/MPC on privileged roles
- Return to /is-quantum-proof/sky for full protocol context
FAQ
Is a DAO quantum-safe if votes are on-chain?
On-chain voting still uses classical account signatures unless designed otherwise.
What to inventory?
Governors, timelocks, executors, and emergency roles per deployment.
