About us

The SORA Project is founded on a core principle: "Eliminating the influence of quantum technology from blockchain." This is not a mere idealistic stance-it is a practical and strategic defense design based on the reality of potential quantum computer-based attacks.

As a first step, we are conducting a thorough identification of quantum vulnerabilities within existing blockchain technologies. It is already academically recognized that widely used cryptographic algorithms such as SHA-256 and ECDSA may eventually be broken by quantum algorithms like Shor or Grover. Therefore, this project does not settle for the current level of safety; instead, it advances based on a design philosophy that considers quantum resistance as the default requirement.

Importantly, the integration of quantum technology into blockchain is not beneficial. While quantum computing holds innovative potential in certain fields, within blockchain it should be treated not as an "enhancing technology" but rather as a "source of risk to be eliminated." This is because the risk of cryptographic failure introduced by quantum computing could fundamentally undermine the core values of blockchain: trust and decentralization.

From this perspective, we have categorized quantum technologies into the following three types, each with a clearly defined impact range and countermeasure strategy.

I. Gate-based Quantum Computers
These are general-purpose quantum computers, typically represented by Shor’s algorithm. They pose a powerful threat to public-key cryptography (such as RSA and ECC) and are primarily used to directly break encryption.

II. Quantum Annealing-based Computers
Specialized in solving optimization problems, these can be described as "analog-style quantum computers." There is concern regarding their application to hash space analysis and mining problems, potentially breaking PoW mechanisms or enabling biased search strategies.

III. Quantum Systems Specializing in Blockchain Decryption
This is the most severe threat. These are purpose-built quantum machines designed specifically for blockchain attacks-such as public key guessing, signature forgery, or reverse-engineering address structures. By narrowing the attack target, these systems can be miniaturized and optimized for high-speed operations, enabling quantum cracking against specific protocols.

In this project, we place special emphasis on the third category (III) and build our core defenses around it. Rather than relying on theoretical validation alone, we aim to identify realistic vulnerability scenarios and redesign L1-level quantum-resistant architecture accordingly.

[Regarding Location]
We have decided to forgo our originally planned incorporation in Wyoming, taking into account the urgent need for quantum resistance. It is no longer a matter of geographical advantage-the design and immediate implementation of quantum-resistant measures are now our top priorities. We will provide updates on technical disclosures and verification URLs as they become available.

In this way, the SORA Project is built on the philosophy that anticipates a future where quantum computers could potentially collapse blockchain systems-and acts in advance to prevent such avoidable crises.
