# HTX DAO (HTX) Quantum Readiness Report

> HTX DAO has a QRI score of 6.45/100 and is assessed at Stage 1 (Quantum Risk Assessed) with medium evidence confidence.

Evaluation date: 2026-06-05. Review status: draft. Evaluated scope: Standard multi-chain governance token (TRC-20/ERC-20/BEP-20) inheriting host-chain cryptographic security; token-specific DAO governance multisig risk.

HTX DAO (HTX) is a standard multi-chain governance token deployed on TRON, Ethereum, BSC, and BTTC with a market cap of approximately $1.5–1.8B. The token contract is immutable with no admin keys or minting capabilities—a positive design property. However, HTX DAO has published no quantum risk assessment, cryptographic inventory, PQC migration plan, or quantum-resistant implementation. All token spend authorization inherits quantum-vulnerable ECC signatures from its four host chains. Critically, the DAO's governance execution relies on classical multi-signature administrators whose ECC-based keys are quantum-vulnerable. The QRI Score of 6.5 reflects the total absence of quantum readiness activity combined with the availability of public evidence to assess the risk (on-chain contracts, whitepaper, and audit). The score is capped at 10 by the 'No public cryptographic inventory' Readiness & Risk Cap and at 20 by Stage 1. The project qualifies as 'Inherits L1 Score' for token-transaction purposes but carries material token-specific quantum risk from its DAO governance multisig layer.
