Understand exposure.
Explore what comes next.

ENQRYPT separates observable wallet information from future cryptographic risk. Learn what a finding means before deciding what to do.

Exposure is not compromise

A public address and a public key are different things. Signed onchain activity can reveal a wallet's public key. Wallet Exposure examines available activity to identify that exposure and explain the evidence behind its findings.

An exposed public key does not mean that someone has your private key or that your wallet has been breached. The tool reports what it can observe; incomplete history or unsupported activity can limit its conclusions.

Why post-quantum cryptography matters

The concern is a future quantum computer capable of breaking cryptographic assumptions used by some current public-key systems. ENQRYPT does not predict when such a machine will exist or treat an exposure finding as a countdown to compromise.

Post-quantum algorithms offer a different approach to key establishment and digital signatures. They serve different purposes: establishing a shared secret is not the same operation as signing a message.

What the tools do—and do not do

The Post-Quantum Lab lets you generate experimental keys and run cryptographic operations locally. Vault offers an ML-KEM-768 mode alongside AES-256-GCM encryption for private files and messages.

Using either tool does not upgrade your blockchain wallet, change a network's signature rules or make existing onchain assets quantum-resistant. Lab-generated keys are for learning, not production wallet use.

Practical steps you can take

  • Read the evidence behind exposure flags instead of treating a label as a verdict.
  • Review transaction requests and token allowances, keep your wallet software updated and protect your recovery material.
  • Never enter your seed phrase into a scanner or lab, and keep backups of the keys needed to decrypt your own data.
  • Follow documented security guidance from your wallet and network when assessing future migration options.
