PAW How to Solve Problems
After PAW is back online, it will use a modern quantum-safe signature system approved by global security researchers. You don't need to understand how it works; what matters is what it means for you:
Your wallet will be upgraded.
Your assets will be safe and secure.
PAW will be protected for decades to come.
The migration process is extremely simple. You just need to create a new wallet, enter your old mnemonic phrase once, and your assets will automatically transfer to the new secure wallet. After that, the old wallet will no longer matter.
This ensures that wallets won't be lost, keys won't be forgotten, and old public keys won't be left behind, thereby avoiding future threats to the network.
This one upgrade puts PAW ahead of almost all major chains in the industry.
Overview of Security Upgrade Technology
During offline maintenance, PAW's entire signature and verification layer has been rebuilt, replacing the original RSA and ECDSA schemes with Dilithium-V. Dilithium-V is a lattice-based post-quantum signature algorithm selected by NIST for long-term cryptographic security. This upgrade changes the way on-chain accounts, validators, and transactions are authenticated: PAW no longer uses discrete logarithm signatures that could be cracked by Shor's algorithm on future quantum hardware, but instead uses structured lattice problems (Module-LWE / Module-SIS) that have not yet been found to have quantum attacks. Validator identity keys, block signatures, and transaction signatures are all migrated to Dilithium-V, providing consistent quantum-safe verification for the entire blockchain. Compared to RSA/ECDSA, the new system also offers deterministic signatures, faster verification performance, and more reliable fault handling mechanisms, thereby improving block generation efficiency and reducing the verification overhead for validators. This is a complete protocol-level change that ensures all wallets, contracts, and validator keys migrated to the relaunched PAW chain use a unified, quantum-resistant cryptographic backbone, designed to ensure security for the next century.
