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 in vbuterin/sphincsminus. no elliptic curves. no shor. no trusted setup. just keccak.
you generate a 32-byte key on your laptop, sign one message, and burn that key forever. the signature mints you 500 $sphincs.
numbers
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 (60 seconds)
- 1. press generate key. browser runs vitalik's reference impl.
- 2. type your eth address. press sign. ~2 seconds.
- 3. signature uploads to our backend. backend re-runs verify.
- 4. every 5 minutes we batch ~50 valid sigs into a merkle root and post it on-chain.
- 5. you click claim, pay 0.0025 ETH gas+fee, receive 500 $sphincs.
trust
- contract is immutable — no admin, no proxy, no pause.
- 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 batch (every signature, every public key) is posted to ipfs. anyone can re-verify with vitalik's python.
