Quantum Intelligence

Quantum Intelligence is WalletWall’s cross-cutting framework for estimating future cryptographic migration urgency for Ethereum wallets. It surfaces inside Holder Wall (wallet drawer), Whale Watcher (risk section), and Coinstellation (node detail panel).

Framing

A high Quantum Exposure Score does not mean a wallet is currently vulnerable to theft or exploitation by any existing technology. The score is a forward-looking heuristic for long-term cryptographic migration planning, not a statement of current risk.
  • Future-looking: measures potential risk posed by future quantum computing advances to current cryptographic standards (ECDSA/secp256k1)
  • Not currently exploitable: no practical quantum attack exists against these standards today
  • Informational only: provided for cryptographic awareness and security planning
  • Not investment advice: must not be used as a basis for financial decisions

Quantum Exposure Score

The score is a normalized value from 0 to 100 — or null when there is not enough evidence to score. It is built from four additive signal groups plus one subtractive migration-readiness offset. Each group contributes at most the points shown; missing data never adds points — an unavailable signal is recorded as unknown (0 points) and lowers confidence instead of inflating the score. These weights are the SCORE_WEIGHTS contract. The composite is bucketed into the labels below. See Scoring Methodology for the plain-English factor walkthrough and worked example. Each signal group contributes independently, up to its own maximum; the migration-readiness offset is the only subtractive term. The same five weights from the table above — no others — drive the composite.

Try it — exposure calculator

The table gives each group’s maximum. Between the anchor values, the value-at-risk, dormancy, and key-age axes interpolate continuously rather than stepping, so a wallet between two tiers scores between two tiers. This calculator applies the same SCORE_WEIGHTS and the same calibration curves as production — the weights and anchors are pinned to the canonical modules by test, so it cannot drift from the app. Set an axis to not observed to see the rule that matters most: missing evidence contributes 0 points and lowers confidence — it never makes a wallet look safer.

Score labels

Prohibited terminology: “Quantum vulnerable”, “Quantum hacked soon”, “Q-Day target”, “Unsafe wallet”. Bands are read from the same score bounds listed in the table above (below 25 / ≥ 25 / ≥ 50 / ≥ 75). Unknown is a distinct, non-numeric outcome — it is never a synonym for a low score.

Source caveats

Every score carries a caveats array built from up to three layers: Staleness is judged per query cadence, not by one flat threshold: queries on a daily refresh cadence flag at roughly 30 hours, while the migration-readiness query — which refreshes weekly by design — uses a weekly-scaled threshold. A weekly snapshot a few days old is on schedule, not late, and is no longer misreported as “Dune auto-run may be delayed.”
Exposure and dormancy facts are stablecoin-scoped: the underlying Dune queries read curated stablecoin tables (stablecoins_multichain.*), so surfaces describe USD-stablecoin balances and flows on Ethereum — the labels state that scope rather than implying all-token coverage.

Chain and signature assumptions

Vault Readiness Card

The Vault Readiness Card renders the full score breakdown:
  • Composite score and risk band
  • Per-component breakdown with values
  • Behavioral exposure signals (adversarial signals)
  • Migration-readiness hints from Dune scheduled data
  • Source caveats and confidence level
Source provenance is shown via a data-source badge for each contributing data source.

Dormancy signal

Wallets that have not sent any outgoing transaction are classified as dormant. Dormancy increases migration urgency because:
  • The wallet may not be actively monitored
  • The holder may not respond to future migration requirements
  • Long-dormant wallets represent “cold” exposure that is hard to remediate
Dormancy is measured from the last_active_at timestamp. The Dormancy exposure feed provides source-backed dormancy facts with bucket classification:

Migration readiness

Migration readiness indicates whether a wallet has a viable path to adopt post-quantum cryptography (PQC) signatures. The Migration readiness feed provides:
  • is_contract_wallet: true if the address is a contract-based wallet (Safe, multisig, ERC-4337 AA)
  • contract_wallet_type: safe, gnosis_multisig, erc4337_aa, or other_contract
  • recent_migration_signal: true if a token migration or key-rotation event was observed
  • risky_approval_count: count of active ERC-20 approvals with unlimited or large allowances
is_contract_wallet: true does not mean the wallet is safe — it means it has a programmable upgrade path. The absence of a known-safe upgrade path should still yield low readiness.

How the three concepts relate

WalletWall keeps three distinct ideas separate so users don’t confuse “risk” with “a fix”:
Question it answers: How urgent is the wallet-level risk?The composite 0100 score (or null) defined above, built from the four signal groups and the migration-readiness offset.
Migration Readiness can recommend a single migration path from existing wallet signals (value at risk, signature exposure, dormancy, wallet structure). It does not add a separate score. The migration-readiness recommender returns level, urgency, difficulty, recommendedPath, blockers, and nextAction.

Stablecoin Vault & Vault Simulator (research prototypes)

When Migration Readiness recommends vault-prototype, Quantum Intelligence surfaces the wallet as a vault candidate and can route to the Stablecoin Vault readiness journey at vault.walletwall.org / /stablecoin-vault. The Stablecoin Vault readiness journey synthesizes Quantum Intelligence exposure signals, Holder Wall holder context, and Stable Seer stablecoin exposure to produce one of four outcomes: Monitor, Prepare, Testnet Rehearsal, or Not Enough Data. The Vault Simulator (/vault) is the Sepolia testnet rehearsal detail — surfaced from the Testnet Rehearsal outcome. It demonstrates a hybrid classical + post-quantum authorization model: an Ethereum ECDSA signature plus an ML-DSA (FIPS 204, formerly CRYSTALS-Dilithium) signature. Related signature research includes SLH-DSA (FIPS 205, formerly SPHINCS+).
Both vault surfaces are research prototypes. The app does not store keys, does not ask for seed phrases, and does not implement recovery flows. The on-chain verifier is an architectural placeholder, not production-grade cryptographic verification. vault.walletwall.org is Stablecoin Vault (the readiness journey); /vault is the Vault Simulator (the Sepolia testnet detail route).
Approved framing: post-quantum migration research, hybrid authorization prototype, experimental migration path, vault candidate, Stablecoin Vault readiness, Vault Simulator (for /vault). Avoid absolute safety, recovery, or asset-control claims. See Stablecoin Vault & Vault Simulator for full product documentation.

Behavioral exposure signals

Behavioral signals (adversarialSignals) are deterministic heuristics derived from wallet transaction history and 12-week Dune activity data. They are computed by the behavioral-signals engine.
Each signal carries score, confidence, reason, and evidence. Signals with score < 0.3 are not rendered. confidence reflects data completeness, not accusatory certainty. These signals are not findings of wrongdoing and do not imply intent, identity, or legal status.

Policy simulator

The policy simulator allows exploring how score components would change under different wallet configuration assumptions (e.g., migrating to a Safe multisig, rotating keys). It operates on the current score breakdown and produces a hypothetical output — no on-chain action is taken.
