# Venice Token (VVV) Quantum Readiness Report

> Venice Token has a QRI score of 3/100 and is assessed at Stage 0 (Unassessed / No Evidence) with medium evidence confidence.

Evaluation date: 2026-06-06. Review status: draft. Evaluated scope: ERC-20 utility token on Base L2; evaluation covers token-specific admin/governance keys and inherited Base/Ethereum L2 cryptographic posture per QRI Section 7.2 Token Inheritance.

Venice Token (VVV) is a standard ERC-20 utility token on Base (Ethereum L2 / OP Stack) with no post-quantum cryptographic protection at any layer. Per QRI Section 7.2 Token Inheritance, VVV inherits Base/Ethereum's entirely classical (ECDSA/BLS/KZG) cryptographic posture for spend authorization, consensus, and state integrity. The token has a critical token-specific quantum vulnerability: the contract owner is a single classical ECDSA EOA with unlimited, uncapped mint authority and no timelock, multisig, or governance controls. A quantum adversary recovering this key could mint unlimited tokens, compromising the entire supply. The sVVV staking contract is an upgradeable proxy with classical admin keys, creating an additional quantum-vulnerable attack surface. Base/OP Stack has published a 10-year PQ roadmap (January 2026) to deprecate ECDSA EOAs by 2036, and Ethereum has a dedicated PQ research team targeting ~2029 for core infrastructure, but no PQ protection is live on mainnet as of June 2026. The token has no PQ-specific assessment, migration plan, or implementation. The only scored credit is for the verified open-source contract code on BaseScan. Overall QRI Score: 3/100 (Stage 0: Unassessed / No Evidence).
