Quantum resilience sets these vaults apart with native Quantum-Resilient RSA encryption keys to protect all fund control and access operations. Additionally, quantum entropy injection – implemented through a dedicated quantum entropy source with hardware and software integration – strengthens the randomness foundation behind key generation, secure session establishment, and key rotation.

This means that assets secured today remain protected against future quantum computing threats, a critical consideration for long-term holdings that current hardware wallets and custodians cannot guarantee.

For exchanges and platforms, Perpetuals.com Vaults make proof-of-reserves obsolete. Users retain verifiable control of their assets, eliminating centralized holdings to audit, trust assumptions, and counterparty risk. They can cryptographically prove ownership and generate compliance-ready signatures for identity verification, proof of funds, and regulations without surrendering custody.

The vaults support high-performance use cases like margin trading and liquidity pool transfers with low latency, while Delegation of Authority enables sophisticated multi-signature and corporate wallet setups without compromising self-custody.

To advance quantum-resilient development, Perpetuals.com Ltd. has partnered with the German University of Digital Science (German UDS), which will launch Germany’s first Quantum Computing Master’s Program (see https://german-uds.de/quantum-computing for more information). This collaboration gives the university real-world industry data while helping Perpetuals.com maintain leadership in crypto wallet security.

Patrick Gruhn, Founder and Group CEO of Perpetuals.com Group, stated: “The crypto industry has operated under a false binary: trust a custodian with your assets or accept hardware wallet limitations. Our Quantum-Resilient Vault system creates a third option with institutional-grade security, true self-custody, no physical devices, and protection against quantum threats. This makes traditional custody and hardware wallets obsolete for serious digital asset security. With our university partnership we ensure that our solution remains the most advanced and best in market.”

Patrick Gruhn who was the Head of FTX Europe before he founded Perpetuals.com explains “With our quantum-resilient self-custody wallet something like the FTX fraud could not have happened, our wallet is fraud-safe”.

The German UDS is launching its Master’s in Quantum Computing to address Germany’s shortage of specialists, supporting national technological sovereignty and competitiveness through flexible, interdisciplinary, research-oriented, and practice-focused education with industry partnerships and digital accessibility.

Prof. Meinel the co-founding president of the German UDS states: “Quantum computing will fundamentally break the cryptographic foundations that secure today’s digital assets. This partnership with Perpetuals.com allows our researchers to work on real-world quantum-resilient implementations, exactly the kind of applied research that prepares our students to solve tomorrow’s security challenges before they become crises.

At openHPI, we proved that world-class digital education could reach millions globally. With German UDS and this Perpetuals.com partnership, we’re taking that further, training the quantum specialists that industry desperately needs while contributing to solutions that protect billions in digital assets. Theory and practice must advance together.”

Prof. Dr. Meinel is also the former CEO of the Hasso Plattner Institute (2004–2023), where he created openHPI.de, Europe’s first MOOC platform with over 1.2 million learners. He co-directed the HPI-Stanford Design Thinking Research Program and was inducted into the IPv6 Hall of Fame. He has authored 35+ books, published 750+ scientific papers, and supervised over 70 PhD students.

Perpetuals.com CEO Gruhn adds: “The quantum threat isn’t limited to cryptocurrency, it’s an existential risk to the entire financial system. The same cryptographic foundations that secure blockchain also protect traditional banking infrastructure. Our Quantum-Resilient Vault architecture addresses this fundamental vulnerability, and we’re already in discussions to extend this technology beyond crypto custody to protect traditional financial authorizations.”

The second founding president Prof. Dr. Friedrichsen is a digital pioneer who founded e-commerce companies in the 1990s and served 25+ years as Professor of Business Informatics and Digital Media at Stuttgart Media University. He has authored 45+ books, published 150+ scientific papers, and supervised over 30 PhD students. The university maintains research centers in AI, Cybersecurity, Extended Reality and Digital Transformations.

Prof. Friedrichsen as an experienced entrepreneur and researcher adds: “I’ve watched digital disruption transform industries for three decades, from e-commerce in the 1990s to blockchain today. Quantum computing represents the next inflection point. Companies like Perpetuals.com that invest in quantum resilience now will define the financial infrastructure of the next generation. Our partnership ensures German UDS students are prepared to lead that transformation.”

“Germany faces a critical shortage of quantum computing specialists at the very moment this technology is becoming commercially essential. This partnership with Perpetuals.com does more than advance research, it creates a pipeline of industry-ready talent with hands-on experience in quantum-resilient financial systems. That’s how you build technological sovereignty.”

The launch timing aligns with strong institutional validation for digital asset infrastructure. A leading U.S.-based crypto custody firm achieved a $2.59 billion valuation after its shares opened 24.6% higher on its New York Stock Exchange debut Thursday, marking 2026’s first major crypto IPO amid robust investor demand. A prominent French hardware wallet manufacturer is preparing a New York Stock Exchange IPO this year that could value it at more than $4 billion, nearly triple its 2023 valuation, while collaborating with Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, and Barclays. A well-known blockchain security auditing company is exploring an IPO around its current $2 billion valuation, with analysts projecting $3.5 billion to $5 billion publicly.

Perpetuals.com delivers a fundamentally superior approach that resolves the core weaknesses of these existing models: it provides true self-custody free from counterparty risk, eliminates all physical hardware vulnerabilities, and incorporates native quantum-resilient cryptographic protection at the infrastructure level—capabilities that go beyond what custodial, hardware, or audit-based solutions can offer today.

Given investor enthusiasm for crypto infrastructure that functions as essential financial utility, Perpetuals.com’s advanced combination of regulated exchange technology, genuine self-custodial vaults, and cutting-edge quantum-grade security positions it to capture outsized value in these high-growth, multi-billion-dollar segments.
