# Humanity (H) Quantum Readiness Report

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

Evaluation date: 2026-06-05. Review status: draft. Evaluated scope: H ERC-20 token and Humanity Protocol L2 network. The H token is a standard ERC-20 inheriting Ethereum and L2 cryptographic properties. The L2 is a zkEVM rollup on Polygon CDK with Proof-of-Humanity consensus, DIDs, VCs, and ZK-proof-based identity verification..

Humanity Protocol scores 1/100 on the Quantum Readiness Index. The project is a zkEVM Layer 2 built on Polygon CDK with an ERC-20 token (H) on Ethereum. All critical cryptographic layers—spend authorization (ECDSA), consensus authentication, state-integrity verification (pairing-based ZK proofs), and bridge/settlement—rely entirely on classical cryptography vulnerable to quantum attack. The project has published no quantum risk assessment, no cryptographic inventory, no PQC migration roadmap, no prototype, and no testnet or mainnet PQC support. The score of 1 reflects only the evaluator's ability to identify the vulnerability based on publicly documented architecture; the project itself has done no quantum readiness work. The evaluation is capped at 10 by the absence of a public cryptographic inventory and further constrained by the near-zero factor score.
