# Render (RENDER) Quantum Readiness Report

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

Evaluation date: 2026-06-05. Review status: draft. Evaluated scope: SPL Token on Solana (and legacy ERC-20 on Ethereum).

Render (RENDER) is a standard SPL token on Solana, migrated from Ethereum (RNDR) in November 2023 via a Wormhole-powered one-way upgrade bridge. Under the QRI Token Inheritance rule (Section 7.2), RENDER inherits Solana's cryptographic posture: all spend authorization uses Ed25519 elliptic-curve signatures, which are vulnerable to Shor's algorithm. The Render Network Foundation has published no cryptographic inventory, no quantum risk assessment, and no post-quantum migration plan. Governance multisigs controlling node emissions and burns use classical Ed25519. The Wormhole bridge dependency introduces additional quantum-vulnerable Guardian signatures (ECDSA secp256k1). Solana L1 has active quantum research (Falcon implementations on GitHub, Blueshift Winternitz Vault, Jump Crypto migration analysis) but nothing in production. RENDER's QRI Score of 1.00 reflects near-total absence of quantum readiness: ~$1B+ in market cap is entirely secured by quantum-vulnerable cryptography with no protection, no migration path, and no assessment at the token-project level.
