Every BLEEP block is enclosed in a Winterfell STARK validity proof before it broadcasts. Nothing is voted on faith — it's proven, in the open, by mathematics that a quantum computer cannot break.
Shor's algorithm reduces factoring and discrete logarithms to polynomial time on a sufficiently large quantum computer. Every signature on a classical chain today is a message an adversary can archive now and open the moment that hardware exists.
secp256k1, RSA, and finite-field Diffie-Hellman secure every transaction on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and nearly every chain in production.
An adversary doesn't need to break anything today — only to store the public record and wait.
A fault-tolerant quantum processor applies Shor's algorithm to the archive. Every historical key and signature becomes recoverable at once.
BLEEP never signs with a classical primitive. There is no legacy record to protect and no coordinated upgrade to run.
Four properties, each independently verifiable in the Protocol Version 5 codebase, distinguish BLEEP from a retrofit.
Every block proposal includes a Winterfell STARK validity proof before broadcast — verified independently by every validator, not voted on.
Callers declare outcomes, not instructions. A 6-layer PAT engine and 7-tier VM router resolve intent to the optimal execution path automatically.
SPHINCS+-SHAKE-256f-simple (FIPS 205) and Kyber-1024 / ML-KEM-1024 (FIPS 203) are the only primitives on sensitive paths — the original design, not a retrofit.
Maximum supply, inflation ceiling, finality threshold, and fee burn floor are enforced by Rust const_assert! and cannot be altered by any actor.
Six subsystems, each with a single responsibility, enforced as an acyclic dependency graph at build time.

A live illustration of what happens inside every 3,000ms slot — proof generation, then verification, on reference 8-core / 32GB hardware.
Throughput figures are simulated — 7 validators, controlled network latency, uniform transaction mix. Actual figures will be measured and published during the Phase 6 public testnet.
