sphincs minus.
the first meme coin gated by vitalik's post-quantum signature.
every mint is unlocked by a real SPHINCS- signature — the same hash-only post-quantum scheme that vitalik buterin published as a reference implementation. no elliptic curves. no shor. no trusted setup. just keccak. all of our code is open source at github.com/sphincsminus/sphincsminus.
you generate a 32-byte key on your laptop, sign one message, and burn that key forever. the signature mints you 500 $sphincs.

why
every signature you have ever made — your seed phrase, your hardware wallet, every uniswap trade — relies on elliptic curvecryptography. shor's algorithm breaks all of it the day a real quantum computer ships.
SPHINCS- doesn't care. its security is reducible to the security of keccak256 alone. if you can break sphincs-minus, you can also break ethereum's state trie, plasma, optimistic rollup fault proofs, every merkle drop ever, and bitcoin's pow.
we minted a meme coin behind it because someone had to.
how it works (30 seconds)
- 1. press generate key. server runs vitalik's reference impl.
- 2. type your eth address. press sign. backend re-verifies the SPHINCS- sig and signs an ECDSA attestation.
- 3. press mint now. your wallet sends one transaction (~150k gas). contract
ecrecovers the attestation and mints 500 $sphincs to you in the same block.
trust
- contract is immutable — no admin, no proxy, no pause.
- team allocation = 0. the 1,000,000 SPHINCS team reserve was sent to 0x…dEaD and is permanently unspendable.
- backend can delay your mint but cannot mint to a wrong address — your address is inside the signed message.
- backend cannot mint extra supply — the contract caps public mint at 10M.
- every
(pk, sig, msg, attestation)tuple is retrievable at /proof. anyone can re-verify with vitalik's python. - all source code (contracts, backend, frontend, whitepaper) is MIT-licensed at github.com/sphincsminus/sphincsminus.
