ZKNOX is an Ethereum-aligned hardware-security and applied-cryptography research organization that develops post-quantum cryptographic tools and protocols for blockchain infrastructure. Zknox's Twitter Score is 17 out of 1000 as of August 2026, ranking #55,886 among 482,999 tracked accounts.
Zknox was co-founded by Nicolas Bacca and Renaud Dubois, with Simon Masson serving as Cryptographer, and is backed by the Ethereum Foundation. The organization was publicly introduced as a venture focused on secure hardware, cryptographic protocols and blockchain-integrated security. Its work spans elliptic-curve cryptography, ML-DSA, FALCON and FROST libraries, hardware integrations, ERC-4337-compatible post-quantum smart accounts, Solidity verifiers and zero-knowledge circuits.
Zknox reduced the full FALCON post-quantum signature-verification cost from 24 million gas to 2 million gas through an optimized Number Theoretic Transform implementation in Yul. It maintains the open-source ETHFALCON repository, which provides experimental FALCON variants for Ethereum including on-chain verification contracts and off-chain test signers. At Devconnect in November 2025, Zknox demonstrated a hardware wallet using a post-quantum Dilithium signature compatible with Ethereum's existing infrastructure.
Zknox developed PQBeat, a five-stage post-quantum-readiness tracker that evaluates Ethereum L1 and L2 networks, wallets, bridges and DeFi protocols. It also contributes to draft EIP-8051, a proposal for an ML-DSA signature-verification precompile, with its ML-DSA-ETH code credited as the reference implementation. Zknox has published 54 posts and has been mentioned by 11 accounts a total of 15 times.
