Blockmate Ventures Inc (TSX-V:MATE, OTCQB:MATEF) announced that its investee, Hivello Holdings, has partnered with Naoris Protocol to integrate quantum-resistant cybersecurity into its decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) platform.
The partnership aims to strengthen security for Hivello users by incorporating Naoris Protocol’s quantum-resistant framework, designed to protect against emerging threats from quantum computing.
Traditional encryption methods could become vulnerable as quantum processors advance, potentially exposing sensitive digital information and blockchain networks, Blockmate noted.
"In becoming quantum-resistant ahead of the industry, Hivello signals its commitment to long-term resilience, scalability and leadership in the DePIN economy with this strategic leap toward mass adoption by addressing QR threats,” Blockmate Ventures CEO Justin Rosenberg said in a statement.
“Without QR architecture, global systems risk becoming obsolete the moment large-scale quantum computing arrives so we are delighted to see the Hivello team future-proof the platform by mitigating future risks that will arrive as quantum computing develops."
Hivello sees the collaboration positioning it as the first DePIN earning platform to implement quantum-resistant security.
According to Hivello, Naoris’ mesh-based validator technology allows each participating device to act as an active security node, providing enterprise-grade protection while enabling users to earn passive income through the platform. The company said the system is designed to simplify onboarding and compliance for individual users and enterprises.
Domenic Carosa, Hivello co-founder and chairman, described the partnership as a “defining moment” for Hivello and the entire DePIN sector.
“By embedding post-quantum security directly into our mass-market onboarding engine, we're not just protecting users — we're removing the single biggest barrier to mainstream adoption,” Carosa said.
“From day one, every Hivello user will earn passive income on a network that is fundamentally unhackable, even against future quantum attacks. This is enterprise-grade security delivered at consumer scale — exactly what the market has been waiting for."
