# SOQ-TEC Bridge & Vault — Canonical Address Registry

> **Status:** AUTHORITATIVE — Updated 2026-05-10
> Solana devnet program and test-token addresses from the 2026 hackathon demonstration. Test tokens only,
> no value. The pSOQ mint listed as ACTIVE below is a devnet test token and is not the pSOQ token on Solana
> mainnet. Soqucoin Labs operates no bridge, vault or relayer for the public.

> **Status:** Devnet demonstration record, updated 2026-05-10
> **Purpose:** Single source of truth for ALL on-chain addresses used in the SOQ-TEC bridge ecosystem.
> **Rule:** If a service uses an address not in this registry, it's WRONG. Update this file, not the service.

# SOQ-TEC

> ⚠️ **Status (28 August 2026): open-source project in active development. No service is operating yet.**
> SOQ-TEC remains the planned automated path between pSOQ and native SOQ. No conversion,
> redemption, or exchange service operates or is offered today, and none operates before
> third-party audit and review. An upgraded conversion path is in review; details will be
> published when it clears. Nothing in this repository is a promise of redemption, of
> backing, or of a timeline.

> SOQ-TEC is post-quantum custody and cross-chain settlement software for regulated custodians, exchanges and
> issuers, who operate it under their own licences. Soqucoin Labs builds and licenses the software. It does
> not hold user funds or keys and does not operate custody, bridging, conversion or redemption services for
> the public. Everything below was demonstrated on Solana devnet and Soqucoin stagenet with test tokens during
> the Colosseum Frontier 2026 hackathon (April to May 2026). There is no live deployment. pSOQ is a token on
> Solana. The path from pSOQ to SOQ is in legal review and details will be published when it is complete.

## The Solution

**SOQ-TEC is the quantum-safe custody layer for Solana.**
**SOQ-TEC is post-quantum custody and settlement software that a licensed custodian can deploy for Solana assets.**

Soqucoin is a purpose-built, [ML-DSA-44 (FIPS 204)](https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/fips/204/final) Dilithium-native L1 blockchain designed from genesis for post-quantum safety. It's not fast — it's Dogecoin-speed (~1-minute blocks, UTXO model). **And that's the point.**

Think of it like a safety deposit box at a bank:
- **Solana** = the trading floor (fast, liquid, classical)
- **Soqucoin** = the vault (NIST Dilithium, Halborn-audited, quantum-safe)
- **SOQ-TEC** = the bridge between them
The three parts:
- **Solana** is the trading floor (fast, liquid, classical signatures)
- **Soqucoin** is the post-quantum settlement layer (ML-DSA-44; the L1 was audited by Halborn)
- **SOQ-TEC** is the software that moves value between the two chains when a licensed operator runs it

The software does not take value from Solana. It gives a custodian a post-quantum place to hold Solana-side value.

Our bridge doesn't take value **from** Solana. It extends Solana's security perimeter **into** post-quantum territory.
Flow the software implements. Custody sits with the operator's vault keys.

```
Solana Wallet (Ed25519, vulnerable)
→ Winternitz Vault (hash-based PQ on Solana)
→ SOQ-TEC Bridge (relayer attestation)
→ SOQ-TEC Vault (Dilithium PQ custody on Soqucoin L1)
→ Bridge back when you need Solana speed
→ Operator's vault (ML-DSA-44 keys on Soqucoin L1)
→ Return path to Solana (operator's program mints the Solana-side token)
```

### XMSS Vault Integration (Patent Claims 1+4+11)

The XMSS vault is the production path — an **end-to-end quantum-safe chain** where Ed25519 is used ONLY for Solana transaction fees, never for value custody:
The XMSS vault is the primary path — an **end-to-end quantum-safe chain** where Ed25519 is used ONLY for Solana transaction fees, never for value custody:

1. User generates an XMSS-Lite key tree (Keccak256 WOTS+, w=16)
2. Vault program verifies WOTS+ signature + Merkle proof on-chain
3. Vault CPI-calls `burn_for_redemption` on the bridge program
4. Relayer detects the burn event (identical to native burns)
5. soq-signer releases SOQ on L1 via ML-DSA-44 (Dilithium)
5. The operator's ML-DSA-44 signer releases SOQ on L1

**Value custody chain:** `WOTS+ (Keccak) → ML-DSA-44 (Dilithium)` — zero classical touch.

## SOQ-TEC Terminal

The bridge dashboard uses a Fallout Pip-Boy / Vault-Tec inspired terminal aesthetic:
The terminal is a demonstration dashboard that showed test-network data during the hackathon. It uses a retro CRT terminal aesthetic:

- **Boot Sequence** — Full BIOS-style system initialization
- **Vault Status** — Real-time balance, backing ratio, Dilithium protection
- **Boot Sequence** — BIOS-style system initialization
- **Vault Status** — Vault balance and backing ratio panels (test data)
- **Network Comparison** — Soqucoin (PQ-NATIVE) vs Solana (QUANTUM EXPOSED)
- **Bridge Activity** — Live transaction feed
- **Proof of Reserves** — Visual SOQ locked vs pSOQ minted
- **Bridge Activity** — Transaction feed (test data)
- **Proof of Reserves** — SOQ locked vs pSOQ minted panel (test data)
- **CRT Effects** — Scanlines, vignette, phosphor glow, screen flicker
