PARALLAX WHITEPAPER

The Architecture of Usable Decentralization

Every published revision of the Parallax Whitepaper remains permanently accessible. Previous versions are preserved so that any statement made at any point in the project's history can be independently verified.

VERSION 1.1

Current

Adds the specification for quantum resistance and cryptographic agility.

READ →
  • Section 12: Quantum Resistance and Cryptographic Agility, covering the threat model, the architecture's vulnerability surface, candidate primitives, precedents, and open problems.
  • Cryptographic agility applied across the Sovereign Wallet Layer, Identity Decoupling, Biometric Hash Generation, committee vote signatures, and Verifiable Random Function (VRF) execution.
  • Contains all content from Version 1.0.

VERSION 1.0

Superseded

Initial publication of the Parallax Whitepaper.

READ →
  • Network architecture, Proof-of-Trust consensus protocol, economic model, Epoch Roadmap, token allocation, and Savings Protocol.

ABOUT VERSIONING

Each substantial addition to the specification is published as a new version rather than as a silent edit to an existing version. Corrections that apply to the protocol as a whole, such as adjustments to the Epoch Roadmap, are propagated across all published versions so that no version describes a schedule the network is no longer following.
