Abstract
Quanton introduces native verification of NIST-standardized post-quantum signature schemes in Canton, protecting transaction authentication from quantum attacks. The proposal delivers production-ready verification libraries, benchmarking, and Daml integration, while laying the groundwork for seamless migration from existing signature schemes without disrupting user accounts.
