Project Eleven Launches Post-Quantum Crypto Custody Platform
Project Eleven unveils Strongpoint with Zcash Foundation as its first partner, targeting over $1 trillion in digital assets vulnerable to quantum computing attacks.
Project Eleven has launched Strongpoint, a new institutional custody platform designed to protect digital assets against the emerging threat of quantum computing, with the Zcash Foundation joining as the initial development partner, the company announced from New York.
The collaboration addresses a critical vulnerability in the current digital asset landscape: more than $1 trillion in cryptocurrency holdings remain potentially exposed to attack by sufficiently powerful quantum computers, according to the companies. The partnership positions Strongpoint as infrastructure built specifically for what the firms describe as the post-quantum and AI era.

The Zcash Foundation's involvement signals growing institutional recognition that quantum computing poses a concrete, not merely theoretical, risk to existing cryptographic security standards underpinning digital asset custody. By partnering at the development stage, the foundation aims to help shape the technical architecture of Strongpoint before quantum threats mature into operational dangers.
Project Eleven's initiative reflects a broader shift in the digital assets industry toward anticipatory security engineering, as advances in quantum hardware have accelerated timelines that many in the sector previously considered distant. Institutional custodians and foundations are increasingly seeking infrastructure that can withstand computational capabilities well beyond today's classical systems.
