|
208
|
+
letter). `primacy.mjs` + `ots.mjs` + `verify-anchor`: an append-only transparency log
|
|
209
|
+
(RFC 6962), ML-DSA-65-signed heads, first-seen resolution by complete enumeration, and a
|
|
210
|
+
temporal frontier confirmed against a real Bitcoin block header the verifier supplies —
|
|
211
|
+
run it yourself, offline, with `npx fractal-pqc verify-anchor`. **Honest residual:** this
|
|
212
|
+
delivers *verification* of an anchor; it does not deliver *creation* of one. Submitting a
|
|
213
|
+
new digest to an OpenTimestamps calendar and polling it to Bitcoin confirmation needs an
|
|
214
|
+
external tool today (the reference `ots` CLI or `python-opentimestamps`) — not vendored
|
|
215
|
+
here, and not yet documented anywhere outside this README.
|
|
216
|
+
|
|
217
|
+
3. **M2 — Exposure-relative primacy, in a real custodian's signing flow** (Tranche 1,
|
|
218
|
+
$120,000/90 days — see the letter for the full scope). The primitive is shipped and
|
|
219
|
+
enforced in `fractal-pqc@0.9.0`: `policy.mjs`'s `authorizeAndSign` computes the BIP-341
|
|
220
|
+
sighash itself, requires the prevout to be the coin the holder's anchor governs, and (opt-in
|
|
221
|
+
via `exposureHeight`) additionally requires the commitment predate the chain first revealing
|
|
222
|
+
the classical key. **What remains, concretely, is engineering a custodian around that
|
|
223
|
+
primitive — not the primitive itself:** (a) ✅ *done*, `m2-broadcast.mjs` — rebuilds the
|
|
224
|
+
witness an `authorizeAndSign` decision actually authorised (never a caller-supplied leaf,
|
|
225
|
+
which would let someone splice in a different script) and serializes/dry-run-broadcasts it;
|
|
226
|
+
the Schnorr signature is re-verified independently against a freshly recomputed BIP-342
|
|
227
|
+
sighash, not against this module's own bookkeeping; (b) ✅ *already done* (round 9,
|
|
228
|
+
before this roadmap section was last reconciled) — `buildSpendContext` takes `otherInputs`,
|
|
229
|
+
so a custodian consolidating more than one deposit per holder does not recreate the round-8
|
|
230
|
+
signing-oracle bug; the holder's independently-derived digest for a real 2-input spend
|
|
231
|
+
matches the one the engine signs, proven by `R9-holder-can-reproduce-any-digest`; (c) ✅
|
|
232
|
+
*partially done* — `custodian-log.mjs` gives structured audit logging (hash-chained, so an
|
|
233
|
+
edited/reordered/deleted past decision is detectable — including refusals, not just
|
|
234
|
+
successes) and idempotent request handling (a retried request under the same key never
|
|
235
|
+
re-signs, proven by `R12-custodian-log-is-idempotent-and-tamper-evident`), with an explicit
|
|
236
|
+
design note on why the raw `policyKey` is never persisted. **Not done:** an actual HTTP/RPC
|
|
237
|
+
layer — this is a library a custodian's service calls, not a service itself; (d) a real answer for `policyKey`
|
|
238
|
+
custody (today a single Schnorr key per custodian — losing or leaking it is custodian-wide,
|
|
239
|
+
not just holder-wide, and nothing here enforces the `singlePolicyKeyPerHolder` convention
|
|
240
|
+
callers are trusted to uphold); (e) the funded testnet broadcast itself.
|
|
241
|
+
|
|
242
|
+
4. **Tranche 2, $80,000 — independent external review, multisig PSBT, key rotation.**
|
|
243
|
+
External review: scope not yet defined here, tracked separately from the two engineering
|
|
244
|
+
items. **Multisig PSBT: 0% built.** `psbt.mjs` is single-signer P2TR key-path only; no
|
|
245
|
+
BIP-174 multisig fields, no k-of-N Tapscript threshold primitive, no multi-leaf
|
|
246
|
+
`policyLeafScript` — not even listed in this package's own `UNCLAIMED_GUARDS` honesty
|
|
247
|
+
ledger yet. **Key rotation: confirmed NOT IMPLEMENTED** (`npx fractal-pqc claims --gaps`
|
|
248
|
+
says so verbatim) — a holder who loses their ML-DSA-65 secret is locked out permanently,
|
|
249
|
+
by the same first-seen-primacy logic that makes the rest of the design sound. A real fix
|
|
250
|
+
needs a pre-registered guardian quorum, a distinct anchored entry type for a rotation
|
|
251
|
+
event, a challenge window measured in confirmed blocks, and a new "current active key"
|
|
252
|
+
resolver in `policy.mjs` — comparable in scope to the original primacy/policy engine.
|
|
253
|
+
|
|
254
|
+
5. **Tranche 3, $120,000 — public specification, wallet interoperability, long-term
|
|
255
|
+
maintenance of the vectors.** Not started; success is measured by independent adopters
|
|
256
|
+
running the CC0 vectors, not by our own claims.

Asunto: Re: FractalAI — qué hace cumplir el requisito post-cuántico (está en npm; corre el código tú mismo)
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
Hola,
|
|
4
|
+
|
|
5
|
+
Respuestas directas a tus tres preguntas.
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
**1) Qué hace cumplir el requisito de firma post-cuántica**
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
Tres capas. Dos están construidas y en producción. Una no existe, y lo decimos con toda claridad.
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
**Capa 1 — Vinculación (construida).** La clave de Bitcoin de un titular (secp256k1 / clave de salida Taproot) queda vinculada a una clave ML-DSA-65 (FIPS-204, NIST Nivel 3) dentro de un compromiso firmado.
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
**Capa 2 — Política de gasto (construida — este es el punto real de cumplimiento).** El firmante de un custodio se niega a liberar una firma a menos que verifique una firma ML-DSA-65 vinculada a ese gasto exacto. Cada guarda rechaza por defecto, y nunca confía en un valor suministrado por el solicitante para saber qué está firmando: **una solicitud que no dice para qué moneda es se rechaza**, y **el motor calcula el digest que firma y rechaza cualquier solicitud que traiga uno**.
|
|
14
|
+
|
|
15
|
+
**Capa 3 — Consenso (no existe).** Bitcoin no rechaza un gasto por carecer de firma post-cuántica, y nada de lo que publicamos cambia eso. Un adversario cuántico que alcance la clave clásica subyacente gasta de todos modos. Lo que esta construcción compra en su lugar es **concentración**: muchas claves clásicas expuestas se colapsan en una sola clave oculta por hash, rotable, controlada por el custodio, con un registro firmado post-cuánticamente de quién estaba autorizado a hacer que esa clave firme. Eso es una reducción real de la superficie de ataque y un mecanismo de gobernanza. **No es inmunidad, y no la describimos como tal.**
|
|
16
|
+
|
|
17
|
+
**2) No tienes que creernos nada de esto**
|
|
18

+

Hace dieciocho afirmaciones factuales, y cada una de ellas — cada conteo, cada versión, cada comportamiento que describimos — se verifica automáticamente contra el código en vivo, incluida esta misma oración. Cambia un número aquí y la verificación falla; cambia el código y la verificación falla. Señala, en la misma salida, las cuatro cosas aquí que ninguna verificación cubre: dos juicios, un agregado contado a mano, y cada compromiso a futuro. Eso son opiniones y promesas, y nos negamos a reportarlas como verificadas.
|
|
28
|
+
|
|
29
|
+
También probamos nuestro propio código de forma adversarial antes de publicar cualquier cosa: cada afirmación de seguridad va acompañada de un ataque que debe fallar, y una mutación del código que debe romper la afirmación si la garantía que nombra deja de sostenerse. **Doce rondas de asedio adversarial** contra nuestro propio código encontraron diez bugs reales, explotables — aproximadamente 1.150 exploits ejecutados a mano entre esos diez — incluido uno donde un cliente legítimo de un custodio podría haber obtenido una firma sobre la moneda de otro cliente. Cada uno de esos bugs es ahora una prueba de regresión permanente: `claims --mutate` reintroduce el bug exacto y confirma que sigue siendo detectado.

Nuestro codec OTS se verifica contra el ejemplo de referencia del propio proyecto OpenTimestamps, confirmado en el bloque de Bitcoin **358391**. El gasto por script-path se verifica contra los vectores de prueba oficiales de wallet BIP-341: 7/7 casos de scriptPubKey y 12/12 bloques de control, byte por byte. **Los vectores siguen siendo CC0.** 33 de ellos ya están publicados — quien los corra es dueño de su propia verificación.

1. **La última firma es clásica.** Ningún soft fork, ninguna inmunidad.
|
|
54

2. **El cutoff es una fecha que nadie puede verificar.** La garantía es "anclado antes de que la criptografía se rompiera", y nadie sabe cuándo fue eso. Nos negamos a imprimir un Q-day — tú suministras la altura, y sin una, el motor se niega a autorizar del todo. Un compromiso **anclado en 800,000 con exposición en 850,000** — la posición más fuerte que este esquema le puede dar a alguien — sigue rechazado bajo un cutoff de 790,000: el cutoff es un piso que la exposición nunca puede levantar.

1. **Cada entregable llega con su propio recibo post-cuántico, anclado en Bitcoin.** Verificas nuestro trabajo usando el mismo mecanismo que estás financiando.

2. **Cláusula pública de fallo.** Si alguien — incluidos nosotros — rompe el esquema de vinculación durante el grant, lo publicamos en su totalidad dentro de 72 horas y dejamos de facturar hasta que se corrija. Nuestro propio asedio lo ha roto diez veces ya, la más reciente en los días antes de este correo; eso no es una política hipotética.

|
|
67

**Una cosa más, posiblemente valga más que el dinero.** Galaxy Research publica. Preferiríamos que esto terminara como un artefacto citable en vez de un entregable de proveedor: publiquemos la especificación de vinculación y los vectores de conformidad conjuntamente, con tu equipo como revisores, y cada hallazgo de red-team — incluidos los nuestros — divulgado.

**Dónde estamos parados, con toda claridad.** FRACTAL AI S.A.S. (Colombia). Operamos una L1 post-cuántica en producción cuyo consenso firma cada bloque con ML-DSA-65 — una cadena de un solo operador, cosa que decimos públicamente en vez de llamarla una red. Somos pre-ingresos. No somos un equipo de protocolo de Bitcoin, y por eso mismo el kit se valida contra vectores oficiales BIP en vez de contra nuestras propias suposiciones.

**Layer 1 — Binding (built).** A holder's Bitcoin key (secp256k1 / Taproot output key) is bound to an ML-DSA-65 (FIPS-204, NIST Level 3) key inside a signed commitment.

**Layer 2 — Spend policy (built — this is the actual enforcement point).** A custodian's signer refuses to release a signature unless it verifies an ML-DSA-65 signature bound to that exact spend. Every guard refuses by default, and it never trusts a caller-supplied value for what it's signing: **a request that does not say which coin it is for is refused**, and **the engine computes the digest it signs and refuses any request that carries one**.

**Layer 3 — Consensus (does not exist).** Bitcoin does not reject a spend for lacking a PQ signature, and nothing we ship changes that. A quantum adversary who reaches the underlying classical key spends anyway. What this construction buys instead is **concentration**: many exposed classical keys collapse into one hash-hidden, rotatable, custodian-controlled key, with a post-quantum-signed record of who was authorised to make that key sign. That is a real reduction in attack surface and a governance mechanism. **It is not immunity, and we do not describe it as one.**

Published today. `verify-anchor` verifies a bundle offline: the tree head's ML-DSA-65 signature, the inclusion proof with the Merkle root **recomputed** rather than compared to one we hand you, an RFC 6962 consistency proof that no history was rewritten, and a Bitcoin anchor derived from the OpenTimestamps proof alone — height and Merkle root, which you then check against a header from **your own node**. We are not in that path.

Those three flags are mandatory and **none of them may come from the bundle**. Pinning against an identity the bundle supplies proves nothing; there is no objective Q-day, so the cutoff is yours; and a `.ots` is inert data that merely *claims* a Bitcoin height until a real header confirms it — round 3 of our own siege forged the entire temporal frontier with about a hundred bytes precisely because that last one was optional. Change one character of the log id and it refuses. Lower the cutoff below the anchor and it reports the frontier as NOT established and says, in those words, *do not authorise a spend on this.*

It makes eighteen factual assertions, and every one of them — every count, every version, every behaviour we describe — is checked automatically against the live code, including this sentence. Change a number here and the check fails; change the code and the check fails. It flags, in the same output, the four things in here that no check covers: two judgements, one hand-counted aggregate, and every forward-looking commitment. Those are opinions and promises, and we refuse to report them as verified.

We also test our own code adversarially before anything ships: every security claim is paired with an attack that must fail, and a mutation of the code that must break the claim if the guarantee it names stops holding. **Twelve adversarial siege rounds** against our own code found ten real, exploitable bugs — roughly 1,150 hand-run exploits across those ten — including one where a legitimate customer of a custodian could have obtained a signature over a different customer's coin. Every one of those bugs is now a permanent regression test: `claims --mutate` reintroduces the exact bug and confirms it still gets caught.

Script-path spending is checked against the official BIP-341 wallet test vectors: 7/7 scriptPubKey cases and 12/12 control blocks, byte for byte. **Vectors stay CC0.** 33 of them are already published — whoever runs them owns their own verification.

**3b) M2, in detail — because it is the part I think you will actually care about**
|
|
103
|
-
|
|
104
|
-
**Exposure-relative primacy.** The cutoff frontier in M1 has a weakness we state in our own README: the guarantee is "anchored before the cryptography broke", and **nobody knows when it broke**. Every verifier is guessing a date, and a private break earlier than the guess produces forged entries indistinguishable from real ones.
|
|
105
|
-
|
|
106
|
-
For one important class of holders, that guess is now unnecessary.
|
|
107
|
-
|
|
108
|
-
For a secp256k1 key whose hash is all the chain has ever shown — **an unspent P2PKH/P2WPKH output** — the kit proves a fact checkable in Bitcoin rather than an estimate: that the holder's post-quantum commitment was anchored in a Bitcoin block **strictly before** the block in which their public key first appeared **on chain**. We do not supply the exposure height and deliberately ship **no oracle** for it — the verifier supplies it from their own node, and the anchor is confirmed against the verifier's own block header.
|
|
109
|
-
|
|
110
|
-
Where that inequality holds, the proof depends on **no Q-day date**: at the moment of anchoring the chain had not yet revealed the public key, so the ability to break secp256k1 was not sufficient to have produced that commitment.
|
|
111
|
-
|
|
112
|
-
It is wired as a **gate**, not a report: `authorizeAndSign({ …, exposureHeight })` refuses and releases no signature when the commitment was anchored after exposure. Supplied means **enforced** — a parameter that can be passed and silently dropped is worse than one that does not exist.
|
|
44
|
+
**Tranche 1 — $120,000 / 90 days** (M1 is delivered and unbilled; this is the first paid decision).

45
|
|
|
114
|
-
|
|
115
|
-
|
|
116
|
-
And the precise shape of it, which our seventh siege made us state properly: **this gate is a conjunction, never a substitution.** The cutoff you choose stays mandatory and is still applied afterwards, so a commitment anchored at 800,000 with exposure at 850,000 — the strongest position this scheme can give anyone — is still refused under a cutoff of 790,000. Supplying an exposure height *narrows* what authorises; it never rescues what the cutoff rejects. What is true, and is the whole point, is that the second condition depends on no Q-day estimate. The receipt now says exactly that, in those words, instead of the flatter sentence it used to print.
|
|
117
|
-
|
|
118
|
-
The claim is bounded, and we say so in the code itself:
|
|
119
|
-
- it assumes the holder published the key through **no other channel** — we measure on-chain appearance only, and a key leaked via an unconfirmed mempool broadcast or a shared xpub was derivable earlier than this proof suggests;
|
|
120
|
-
- it **does not save keys already exposed by an earlier spend**. You cannot anchor into the past. Those coins must be moved, and the engine says exactly that when it refuses.
|
|
46
|
+
**Tranche 2 — $80,000** — independent external review, published in full including negative findings, plus multisig and key rotation (today, a lost key is a permanent lockout).
|
|
47
|
+
**Tranche 3 — $120,000** — public specification, wallet interoperability, long-term maintenance of the vectors. Success measured by independent adopters, not by our own claims.

|
|

|
|
133
|
-
We are not the standard, and anyone claiming to be one at this stage is selling. Here is the specific thing we are, and you can falsify it in thirty seconds:
|
|
134
|
-
|
|
135
|
-
**Ours is the only package I know of that will tell you, on your machine, which of its own security claims it cannot back.** A claim is admissible only with three things: an executable proof, an executable *attack* that must fail, and a **mutation** of the code it names under which the claim must fail. A sentence no mutation can kill is reported as vacuous and the build breaks.
|
|
136
|
-
|
|
137

We built that because we needed it. Ten adversarial siege rounds against our own code — roughly 1,150 executed exploits — found the same disease every time and never once in the mathematics: an English sentence and a code path written separately, with a fully green test suite in between hiding the gap. Round 5 deleted a single line binding an anchor to the head it timestamps; the ledger printed all-green and 263 assertions passed, because no claim named that guard. Round 7 — run against the very paragraph in section 3b, in the days before this email — found the cross-client signature described in section 1, and found a frozen scope string still telling auditors that the M2 gate did not exist while the gate was refusing signatures. Round 10, run against this exact letter before it was sent: `cutoffBlockHeight`, `blockMerkleRoots` and `knownHeads` were each read straight off the request at every point they were needed, instead of being snapshotted once the way `anchorEvidence` already was — and for `knownHeads` that was not a theoretical gap. An accessor that shows a genuinely conflicting log head to the length check and an empty array to the loop that actually runs equivocation detection produced a real, verifiable ML-DSA-gated Schnorr signature in exactly the case section 4's limit #4 promises a refusal for. All three fields now get the same snapshot-once discipline. The `knownHeads` and `cutoffBlockHeight` exploits are each closed and covered by a mutation that turns the ledger red if either regresses. `blockMerkleRoots` got the identical fix on the identical reasoning, but we could not construct an attack that flips authorisation through it alone — every consumer looks the anchor height up by key, so a divergent read fails closed rather than open — and we are not shipping a mutation we cannot honestly make fail; that field's hardening is disclosed as defense-in-depth, not as the closure of a demonstrated bypass. Every mutation in the matrix reintroduces a bug that really shipped in this package, tagged with the round that caught it. **The matrix is simultaneously our test harness and the public record of our own failures.**

2. **The cutoff is a date nobody can verify.** The guarantee is "anchored before the cryptography broke," and nobody knows when that was. We refuse to print a Q-day — you supply the height, and without one the engine refuses to authorise at all. A commitment **anchored at 800,000 with exposure at 850,000** — the strongest position this scheme can give anyone — is still refused under a cutoff of 790,000: the cutoff is a floor exposure can never lift.

2. **Public failure clause.** If anyone — including us — breaks the binding scheme during the grant, we publish it in full within 72 hours and stop invoicing until it's fixed. Our own siege has broken it ten times, the most recent one in the days before this email; that's not a hypothetical policy.

**One more thing, possibly worth more than the money.** Galaxy Research publishes. We'd rather this end as a citable artefact than a vendor deliverable: publish the binding spec and the conformance vectors jointly, with your team as reviewers, and every red-team finding — ours included — disclosed.

**Where we stand, plainly.** FRACTAL AI S.A.S. (Colombia). We run a post-quantum L1 in production whose consensus signs every block with ML-DSA-65 — a single-operator chain, which we state publicly rather than calling it a network. We are pre-revenue. We are not a Bitcoin protocol team, which is exactly why the kit is validated against official BIP vectors rather than our own assumptions.
