A vault for what survives the break.
TRELYAN is a post-quantum inscription protocol on Algorand. 1,024 numbered Vault Cells — non-fungible Algorand Standard Assets — each carrying the technical ability to inscribe one artifact — its hash written once on-chain under a Falcon-1024 signature, a NIST-selected (2022) lattice scheme designated FN-DSA, with NIST's FIPS 206 (FN-DSA) still in development and not yet published, verified on-chain at consensus for the world after Q-Day.
A protocol with four moving parts.
TRELYAN is not a token launch with a story bolted on. It is a four-component structure whose properties compose into the one the project's name carries: permanence on a substrate that survives the cryptographic break.
Algorand
Pure Proof-of-Stake under cryptographic sortition. 2.8-second deterministic finality. The Falcon-1024 verification opcode falcon_verify is native to the AVM, exposed to smart contracts since the November 2025 AVM v12 upgrade — making Algorand among the first major Layer-1s to put post-quantum signature verification within reach of on-chain contracts rather than behind a wrapper.
Falcon-1024
NIST-selected in 2022; designated FN-DSA. NIST's FIPS 206 is in development and not yet published; the published post-quantum standards are FIPS 203, 204, and 205 (August 2024). Lattice hash-and-sign over NTRU lattices in the Gentry-Peikert-Vaikuntanathan framework, sampled by the fast-Fourier sampler over ℤq[x] / (xn+1). Security is EUF-CMA in the (quantum) random-oracle model, resting on the NTRU key-recovery and NTRU-SIS assumptions — structured-lattice problems, with no clean worst-case GapSVP reduction; signatures are ~1,280 bytes — small enough to be verified at consensus.
1,024 Vault Cells
Each Cell is a non-fungible Algorand Standard Asset whose only substantive right is to inscribe one artifact (payload ≤ 4 KB) — its hash written once on-chain and bound to the Cell by a Falcon-1024 signature, the artifact itself stored off-chain (IPFS/Arweave) and tamper-evident against that hash. Three lifecycle states — Sealed → Inscribed → Released — enforced in the contract, not by policy.
Swiss Stiftung
The foundation forms under the Swiss Civil Code, articles 80 to 89-bis, registered in Zug. Swiss counsel is under evaluation; no firm is yet formally engaged. Founder personal capital is zero by deliberate design. The discipline is in writing before the protocol exists.
Permanence is an engineering claim, not a marketing one.
A digital signature whose verifying key can be inverted by an unknown future quantum computer is not a signature in any meaningful sense; it is a deferred forgery. A non-fungible token whose authenticity depends on the discrete-logarithm assumption is one Shor execution away from indistinguishability from its own counterfeit. The work of making these problems solved problems has already been done — by NIST, in the published post-quantum standards FIPS 203, 204, and 205, with FIPS 206 (FN-DSA / Falcon) forthcoming, and by the academic cryptography community over the two decades that produced them. The deployment is what is missing.
TRELYAN is the deployment — on Algorand, among the first major Layer-1s where the verification primitives required to make the substitution complete are already live at consensus.
In the founder's own words.
Three short films. The problem the world is not yet pricing in; the protocol built to answer it; and an open invitation to the cryptographers, funders, and builders who think some records should outlast us all.
