Is Uniswap (UNI) Quantum Proof?
Verdict
UNI is not quantum-proof. It is a governance token on classical EVM account crypto; protocol contracts add admin surfaces.
Overview
UNI lives in the EVM world. Transfer authorization is secp256k1 for ordinary EOAs. Governance is a separate classical-key and contract-rules problem.

Inventory UNI by host and venue: user signatures on this stack, plus any issuer, bridge, sequencer, or admin keys outside ordinary wallets. Educational only—not investment advice.
