# GHO (GHO) Quantum Readiness Report

> GHO has a QRI score of 4/100 and is assessed at Stage 0 (Unassessed / No Evidence) with high evidence confidence.

Evaluation date: 2026-06-02. Review status: draft. Evaluated scope: GHO ERC-20 stablecoin token, facilitator governance, permit signatures, and Chainlink CCIP bridge dependency.

GHO is a ~$584M ERC-20 stablecoin governed by the Aave DAO with zero quantum readiness. The project has published no cryptographic inventory, no quantum risk assessment, no PQC migration roadmap, and no hybrid-PQC or PQ production protection. All spend authorization uses Ethereum ECDSA (secp256k1), permit signatures (EIP-2612) use ECDSA, governance operates through ECDSA-based EVM transactions, and cross-chain supply integrity depends on Chainlink CCIP's classical cryptographic signers. QRI Score of 4 (Stage 0) reflects the complete absence of project-level quantum readiness work combined with fully quantum-vulnerable production cryptography protecting ~$584M in value.
