WINTERNITZ Development Update We’ve added new tools for managing tokens, reviewing transactions, and keeping track of wallet backups across the web wallet and Chrome extension. • ERC-20 import: Review the contract, network, and decimals before adding a token. Imported assets stay clearly labelled Unverified. • Transfer review: Exact amounts and full token contract visibility. • Receipt inspection: Check execution outcomes, block details, and operation gas. • Backup tools: Inspect encrypted archives without replacing your wallet, and see when known local signing history differs from your last tracked export. • Dashboard updates: Journey checklist, pending operation details, and public status reports. Latest local validation: 586 tests and 9 browser checks passed, alongside typechecks and the production build. This beta supports Robinhood Testnet, chain 46630, with test funds only. #WINTERNITZ #WalletDevelopment #ERC20 #Testnet #BuildInPublic

One wallet address. A fresh signing key for each operation. In a standard Ethereum EOA wallet, one private key signs many transactions. Each new transaction has a different signature, while the underlying key remains the same. WINTERNITZ uses Winternitz One Time Signatures (WOTS). Each signing key is reserved for one operation message, and the account advances to the next key when onchain validation commits. Your wallet address stays the same. The keys are derived from the same root seed, so you don’t need a new recovery phrase for every operation. This also changes how retries work: a pending operation is resent with its original signed bytes, preserving the one time key rule. That key lifecycle is central to WINTERNITZ’s approach to hash-based account authorization.

WINTERNITZ is making transaction outcomes easier to verify. Our latest local testnet beta build adds Inspect Receipt to the web wallet and Chrome extension. Users can check whether execution succeeded, reverted, or remains unverified alongside operation gas costs, block details, and the UserOperation hash. This builds on the wallet journey checklist, pending-operation tracking, encrypted backup inspection, and status reports that exclude seeds and passwords. Latest validation: 547 tests passed, 8 browser checks passed, and a successful production build. Browser checks used isolated wallets and mocked network responses. Next up: backup freshness reminders after signing, followed by further testnet validation of ETH/ERC-20 transfers and interrupted transaction flows. The update is implemented locally and has not been deployed. Test funds only; backup imports remain read-only. Independent audit and safe lost-device signing recovery remain open milestones. Building WINTERNITZ with visible progress and evidence behind each update.

The hardest part is balancing strong post-quantum security with a seamless mobile experience. Winternitz introduces unique challenges around signature sizes, efficient transaction handling, and securely managing one time key state without compromising usability. Our goal is to make all of that feel invisible to the user. People shouldn't need to understand the complexity of post-quantum cryptography to benefit from it. They should just have a wallet that feels fast, intuitive, and secure enough for everyday use. That's what we're focused on solving.

Good Morning, Winternitz. We’d like to share a quick infrastructure update. Yesterday, we experienced some technical difficulties with Railway, which temporarily affected our ability to deploy and publish the latest updates. To resolve this, we migrated Winternitz ($WTZ) infrastructure to Fly.io. We’re happy to confirm that the migration has been completed successfully, and everything is now running smoothly. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and continued support. Our focus remains unchanged: building, improving, and delivering a more reliable Winternitz ecosystem. Thank you for standing with us. We keep building. 🛡️ The Winternitz Team

Winternitz Weekly Development Recap 19–25 October 2026 Slow weekend. A good time to reflect on what we've been building. Over the past week, we've continued making progress across the Winternitz ecosystem, focusing on post-quantum security, wallet infrastructure, privacy, and a more reliable user experience. Here's what we've been working on: 1. Post-Quantum Security: Advanced WOTS and XMSS development, including successful testnet signature verification, key revocation, and recovery testing. 2. Wallet Infrastructure: Improved multi-vault management, independent keys, encrypted backups, network switching, and transaction verification. 3. Account Abstraction: Validated hosted bundler transactions, Shield/Unshield operations, and gas estimation improvements. 4. Privacy: Refined the privacy dashboard and continued RAILGUN integration for private transaction workflows. 5. Multi-Chain Support: Expanded native Bitcoin and Solana account functionality, alongside early Ethereum bridge integration. 6. Smart Account Development: Progressed ERC-7579 validators, gas sponsorship, and quantum-readiness tooling. 7. Identity & Ownership: Developed ERC-8004 identity registration and creator token functionality, with local validation completed. 8. Browser Extension: Improved session handling, auto-lock behaviour, and network consistency. 9. Security & Research: Continued WOTS benchmarking, documentation, and preparation of the proposed independent security audit scope with Hacken. 10. Engineering validation: The latest recorded results include 151 SDK tests, 227 web tests, 20 vault-related contract tests, and 30 browser checks passing. Not every feature is production ready. Several components remain experimental or locally validated, and an independent audit is still pending. We'll continue sharing progress transparently as we move towards broader testnet validation and eventual mainnet readiness. We're not rushing the process. Our priority remains building infrastructure that can be tested, verified, and improved over time. To everyone following, testing, and supporting Winternitz thank you. Building meaningful technology takes consistency, patience, and time. It's a slow weekend. Get some rest, spend time away from the screen, and don't forget to touch grass. We'll keep building. 🌱 Winternitz Building towards a post-quantum future. winternitz.app/

Winternitz Vault from independent keys to onchain execution. Each vault uses its own WOTS keys, encrypted local storage, and a dedicated signing journal. Transactions are reviewed, signed, and saved before submission. Onchain validation advances the account’s key state, while confirmation checks the actual transaction outcome.

Quantum Computer Matters. Recent security incidents across the crypto industry have reminded us of one thing: digital asset security cannot be taken for granted. Today's exploits are not necessarily quantum-related. But they expose a broader reality: security threats continue to evolve, and our infrastructure must evolve with them. Quantum computing introduces another long-term challenge to the cryptographic foundations of blockchain technology. At Winternitz, we're exploring hash-based signatures, post-quantum authentication, and secure key rotation to help build a practical path towards quantum readiness. We're not waiting for quantum threats to become a reality before exploring solutions. Security is not just about protecting what we have today. It's about preparing for what comes next. The future of wallet security starts with the work we do today. winternitz.app
