Zcash Foundation joins Project Eleven to shape institutional custody infrastructure for the post-quantum and AI era as more than $1 trillion in digital assets remain at risk of attack by sufficiently powerful quantum computers.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Project Eleven, the post-quantum security company for digital assets, today introduced Strongpoint, its flagship custody platform built for navigating the transition to post-quantum cryptography. Zcash Foundation joins Project Eleven as an initial development partner, helping shape Strongpoint’s institutional custody architecture.

Strongpoint is designed to give institutions a consistent control layer for securing and managing digital assets as networks change the cryptographic standards underneath them. Rather than rebuilding key-management, transaction approval, and audit infrastructure for each new signature scheme or network migration, institutions can maintain a common set of security controls while the underlying cryptography evolves.

“Institutional digital asset custody was built for a world where the cryptography underneath it rarely changed,” said Alex Pruden, CEO of Project Eleven. “Quantum computing is upending that model. If every network adopts a different solution, institutions could be forced to rebuild their security infrastructure again and again. Strongpoint is built around crypto-agility, so the cryptography can change without the infrastructure changing with it.”

“Institutions holding shielded ZEC need custody infrastructure that respects Zcash’s privacy model today and can adapt as cryptographic standards change,” said Alex Bornstein, Executive Director of Zcash Foundation. “Project Eleven is building Strongpoint with the crypto-agility and technical foundation needed to support those requirements over time, helping strengthen custody infrastructure for the broader ecosystem.”

Zcash Foundation Joins as an Initial Development Partner
Zcash Foundation joins as an initial development partner for Strongpoint, bringing its expertise in privacy-preserving cryptography and protocol engineering to Strongpoint’s institutional custody architecture. Zcash’s privacy-preserving design introduces sophisticated key-management and transaction requirements, making it a valuable environment for developing custody infrastructure capable of supporting evolving cryptographic standards.

The collaboration will help inform how Strongpoint handles network-specific requirements while maintaining a consistent institutional control framework across assets and cryptographic schemes.

Post-Quantum Migrations Are Taking Different Paths
The digital asset industry’s post-quantum transition is becoming a coordination challenge. Among the networks represented by the 20 largest assets in CoinGecko’s Layer 1 (L1) category by market capitalization, Project Eleven found that only 10 have published a network-specific technical proposal, roadmap or implementation path for migrating transaction or account authentication to post-quantum cryptography.

Those approaches span at least six proposed post-quantum signature schemes and vary significantly in how they address account migration, key rotation and legacy-asset recovery. Even where technical roadmaps exist, operational readiness remains uneven, leaving institutions to navigate different standards and requirements across networks.

For institutions operating across multiple networks, that fragmentation means accommodating different cryptographic standards and migration requirements without losing a consistent security model. Strongpoint is designed to provide that common operating layer while allowing the cryptography beneath it to change independently.

Early Access and Deployment
Project Eleven targets production deployment in Q4 2026 and is working with a limited group of development partners ahead of general availability. Additional development partners and supported networks will be announced. Institutions interested in early access can request more information at projecteleven.com/strongpoint.

Founded in 2024 by Alex Pruden and Conor Deegan, Project Eleven raised a $20 million Series A led by Castle Island Ventures in January 2026, bringing its total funding to $26 million. The company recently acquired Riva Labs, a specialized engineering firm with deep expertise in post-quantum signatures, wallet infrastructure and blockchain cryptography, expanding Project Eleven’s in-house research and protocol-engineering capabilities.

Methodology: Project Eleven reviewed the 20 largest assets in CoinGecko’s Layer 1 (L1) category by market capitalization on September 25, 2026. A network was counted only where an official network organization, foundation, core development team or recognized protocol-improvement process had published a network-specific technical proposal, roadmap or implementation path for migrating transaction or account authentication to post-quantum cryptography. General research programs, statements of intent and post-quantum work that did not specify such a migration path were not counted. Draft technical proposals were included and do not imply network approval or adoption.

Alex Pruden and Conor Deegan are available for interview.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Between now and December, Singapore’s calendar fills up fast. Dinner and dance season, year-end galas, product launches, and a final run of conferences and trade shows all take place before the year closes, and many of them give out door gifts to attendees.

One Good Card, a Singapore-based digital name card platform, says demand for its NFC Card Live Printing for Events service typically doubles in Q4, as companies look for a door gift that guests keep using after the event ends.

“Businesses spend a significant budget on events, and it should go towards making the experience memorable for attendees,” said Choong Chao Dong, Founder of One Good Card. “Personalised NFC cards give guests something they can use to network during the event and keep using long after it.”

Printed and activated in seconds

At a live printing kiosk, guests enter their name and receive a personalised NFC name card, printed and activated on the spot in about 10 seconds. Each card works immediately as a networking tool, letting guests share contact details, portfolios, and social profiles. Guests share their digital name card by tapping the card on a phone or scanning its QR code. They can update their contact details at any time, and each tap of the card shares the latest version.

Organisers can customise each station with event-specific card designs and colour schemes to match the occasion. Card designs can include the event name, date and organiser’s logo alongside the guest’s preferred name. One Good Card now also offers wood and metal NFC cards, which can be laser engraved live at the event.

Event formats

The service has been used at school graduations, corporate dinner and dance events, product launches, conferences, trade shows, and gala dinners. Each station is staffed and set up on-site by the One Good Card team, so organisers only need to decide where to place it. A single station prints around 200 cards per hour, and larger events can book multiple stations. Common placements include registration counters and foyers, depending on the event format and venue layout. At conferences and trade shows, exhibitors place the station at their booth to give attendees a reason to stop and speak with their team.

About One Good Card

One Good Card is a Singapore-based digital business card and sales platform that helps teams share their details, capture leads, and manage what happens next. Beyond NFC business cards, QR codes, and custom profile links, the platform includes an OCR business card scanner, contact management, deal pipeline tracking, invoicing, and integrations with industry sales tools. Companies across the region use One Good Card to keep branding consistent, assign NFC cards centrally, and track leads from in-person networking through to closed deals.
