FREEDOM/FACTORY

The first quantum-secure hardware wallet.

Post-quantum signing. Air-gapped by default. Open firmware. Survives Q-Day. $179.

PQ1 is the first hardware wallet engineered to remain secure after Q-Day, the point at which large-scale quantum computers can break the elliptic-curve cryptography that protects Ethereum and other EVM chains. Built by FREEDOM/FACTORY, PQ1 signs every transaction with SPHINCS+ - the hash-based signature scheme NIST standardized as SLH-DSA (FIPS-205), in a compressed parameter set - inside a dual secure-element architecture with the seed XOR-split across two chips. Signatures settle on-chain through an ERC-4337 v0.6 smart account; there is no ECDSA fallback. The device is open-firmware with reproducible builds and ships for $179.

Quantum Safe

Meet PQ1™. The world’s first hardware wallet that survives Q-Day.

Who it’s for

One device, five reasons to switch.

Be the one signer who can’t be fooled.

In the $1.4B Bybit hack, every signer approved on a hardware wallet. PQ1™ decodes the Safe transaction and refuses what it can’t explain.

How Safe decoding works
Real PQ1 firmware screens, sample Safe transaction.

Q-Day is a balance-sheet risk.

Every address that has sent a transaction has published its public key for good. Migrating before Q-Day is a project. After, it’s a race.

25%

of all ETH sits at addresses with an exposed public key.

Estimate. Exposure models vary.

For the ETH you plan to hold past Q-Day.

Your first spend put your public key on-chain for good. Move once, to an account that signs with SPHINCS+ and has no ECDSA fallback.

Is your address exposed?
  1. Your first spend Your public key goes on-chain.
  2. Every day since Anyone can copy it, forever.
  3. Q-Day A quantum computer derives your private key.

Stop signing hex.

Approvals, swaps and bridges, decoded on the device from bytes it verified itself. If it can’t prove what a transaction does, it says so.

Don’t trust us. Rebuild us.

Hardware, firmware, bootloader and contracts are all open source. Rebuild the firmware bit for bit and check it against your device.

How does it compare?

When quantum computers break today's encryption, most wallets will be exposed.

* Unlike “quantum-ready” wallets such as Trezor Safe 7, which protect only firmware updates, PQ1™ quantum-secures both the firmware AND every asset.

Enter the PQ era.

Frequently asked questions

Payments
  • Can I pay in crypto?

    Yes, when you click pay with crypto, you will be redirected to the daimo.com website for payment.

  • Which Card checkout do you use?

    Stripe.

  • Do you have a referral program?

    Yes - Give $10, Get $10. Once you purchase, you can get your personal discount link. Every friend who orders a PQ1™ through it saves $10 per device, and you earn $10 per device in return. Claim your rewards in the PQ1™ Vault app once you receive the device.

  • Does Freedom Factory pay the import costs?

    For most destinations import duties and customs are not included in your order and are the buyer’s responsibility - with a small device without a battery, shipping from Hong Kong, we estimate those costs to be low. For a few destinations we collect customs & duties at checkout instead: if a "Customs & duties" line appears in your order summary, that amount is included in your total and nothing more is due on delivery.

Shipping
  • When will my device ship?

    Pre-sale orders ship in Q4 2026.

  • Where do you ship?

    We ship worldwide, excluding US sanctioned countries.

  • Do you ship to U.S. PO boxes?

    No, please input an address for delivery.

  • How much is shipping?

    Standard shipping is included for every country we ship to. For a small number of destinations where carrier costs are exceptionally high, checkout shows a base shipping cost before you pay. Where available, you can also choose an optional premium shipping upgrade at checkout. Import duties and customs are not included unless checkout shows a "Customs & duties" line for your country - then they are collected with your order and nothing more is due on delivery.

  • How can I edit my billing or shipping address?

    Please email us at hi@freedomfactory.io for address changes.

  • How do you store my shipping data?

    Fully encrypted. Deleted once we ship the device to you.

  • What is your return policy?

    Pre-Sale orders are final.

Device
  • Does the device have any connectivity?

    No, fully offline hardware signer. Once you connect your device with the USB-C cable, you are responsible for anything that you sign.

  • Is the PQ1™ waterproof?

    It is water resistant. Do not fully submerge.

  • What are the dimensions of the PQ1™?

    0.802 cm x 2.352 cm x 7.6 cm

  • What is the anticipated lifespan of the device?

    We designed it with long-lasting components in mind. It should last many years with good care.

  • What is the rating and details of the Secure Enclaves?

    EAL6+, the highest level of security for both enclaves.

  • Does the PQ1™ come with a USB-C cable?

    Yes, included to use the device with the Vault app.

Software
  • What is your stance on open source?

    We've fully open sourced everything from the hardware to the software, and the Vault App. View on Github

  • Has the code been reviewed?

    The ERC-4337 account abstraction contracts are under security review by Trail of Bits.

  • Is SPHINCS+C10 secure? Why a compressed variant instead of standard SLH-DSA?

    SPHINCS+C10 is a compressed variant of SPHINCS+, the hash-based scheme NIST standardized as SLH-DSA in FIPS-205. Its two compression techniques - WOTS+C and FORS+C - come from peer-reviewed research co-authored by a SPHINCS+ designer, and they do not change the security assumption: forging a signature still requires breaking SHA-256. What C10 trades away is the 2^64-signature budget defined in the standard, replaced by a firmware-enforced 65,536-signature cap per key slot - decades of use for a hardware wallet. It is not FIPS-certified; it is the same mathematics, resized for on-chain verification. Full walkthrough: freedomfactory.io/learn/is-sphincs-c10-secure

  • What is open hardware?

    We believe every hardware wallet that secures significant funds should be fully inspectable so you don't have to blindly trust us.

  • Why not Bitcoin?

    Bitcoin currently does not support post-quantum accounts. There is an effort by StarkWare, but that current takes a GPU cluster per transactions and is not feasable for everyday consumers.

  • How can I recover my funds if the PQ1™ is lost?

    In onboarding, your PQ1™ will generate a seed phrase for you to backup on a piece of paper.
