# WhiteBIT Coin (WBT) Quantum Readiness Report

> WhiteBIT Coin has a QRI score of 1/100 and is assessed at Stage 0 (Unassessed / No Evidence) with high evidence confidence.

Evaluation date: 2026-06-06. Review status: draft. Evaluated scope: WBT token across all production representations: Whitechain native coin, Ethereum ERC-20, and Tron TRC-20. Evaluation covers spend authorization, consensus authentication, P2P transport, bridge/mint-burn mechanisms, and value-at-risk across all three chains..

WhiteBIT Coin (WBT) is a multi-chain exchange/ecosystem token with a ~$10–12B market cap, native to Whitechain (a go-ethereum fork using Clique PoA consensus) and also represented as ERC-20 on Ethereum and TRC-20 on Tron. As of 2026-06-06, the project has published NO quantum risk assessment, cryptographic inventory, PQC roadmap, mitigation design, prototype, testnet, or mainnet protection. All critical cryptographic layers — spend authorization (ECDSA/secp256k1 EOAs), consensus authentication (Clique secp256k1 block sealing), P2P transport (devp2p ECDSA), and token bridge mechanisms — rely entirely on quantum-vulnerable elliptic curve cryptography. The ERC-20 and TRC-20 representations inherit the quantum vulnerability of Ethereum and Tron respectively. Approximately 100% of the ~$10–12B value-at-risk is quantum-vulnerable with no migration path. The centralized PoA architecture gives WhiteBIT theoretical operational control to halt or migrate the chain, but no such plan is documented. The project scores 1/100 (Stage 0, Readiness & Risk Cap 10 from no public cryptographic inventory). The project requires a public cryptographic inventory and quantum risk assessment as immediate next steps.
