Velodrome admin keys & Quantum Risk
Verdict
Velodrome admin keys are not quantum-proof. Emergency and minter modules use classical signatures.
Overview
Document Optimism addresses for privileged roles; do not reuse Base Aerodrome inventories blindly.
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: Minter, voter, emergency roles
- Hosts/context: Optimism deployment
What breaks
- Compromise of admin keys related keys for Velodrome
- 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/velodrome for protocol context
- Use category hubs: lending, dex, perps, stablecoins
