# Audiera (BEAT) Quantum Readiness Report

> Audiera has a QRI score of 14/100 and is assessed at Stage 1 (Quantum Risk Assessed) with medium evidence confidence.

Evaluation date: 2026-06-06. Review status: draft. Evaluated scope: BEP-20 token (0xcf3232b85b43bca90e51d38cc06cc8bb8c8a3e36) inheriting BNB Chain L1 security, plus token-specific admin/governance keys.

Audiera (BEAT) is a standard BEP-20 token on BNB Smart Chain with no custom cryptographic implementations. Per QRI Section 7.2, it inherits the base-layer QRI posture of BNB Chain. As of June 2026, BNB Chain mainnet relies entirely on classical ECDSA (secp256k1) for transaction signatures and BLS12-381 for validator consensus — both quantum-vulnerable. BNB Chain has published a research report (May 2026) and produced a closed draft prototype (GitHub PR #3660, April–May 2026) exploring migration to ML-DSA-44 and pqSTARK, but no testnet or mainnet deployment exists. The prototype confirms 40% throughput reduction under PQ load. BEAT's ~$503M market cap (~288M circulating supply) is fully exposed to quantum key-recovery attacks on both user EOAs and token admin/owner keys. QRI Score = 14 (Stage 1, Factor Score 14.42, capped at 20 by Stage 1 cap, binding minimum = 14).
