SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES), a global leader in semiconductors, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and post-quantum cybersecurity, has announced a significant second strategic investment in EeroQ. SEALSQ plans to use its “Quantum Made in USA” strategy to lead the global competition for secure and scalable quantum technology.

SEALSQ's SEALQUANTUM.com Quantum Investment Fund, founded in 2025, invested over $100 million in bootstrapping quantum startups. Following a December 2025 investment, this latest tranche shows a growing relationship between SEALSQ's secure silicon and post-quantum cryptography expertise and EeroQ's unique hardware.

Scalability Bottleneck Solution: EeroQ

This partnership relies on EeroQ's quantum architecture, which uses electrons trapped on superfluid helium (eHe). Unlike superconducting or trapped-ion devices, EeroQ's technique can scale from thousands to millions of electron spin qubits cost-effectively.

One of EeroQ's greatest technical achievements is solving the industry's “wire problem”. EeroQ has revealed a control architecture that can manage one million qubits with fewer than 50 physical control lines, whereas existing quantum implementations require thousands, causing thermal and engineering issues. EeroQ leads the way in commercial quantum processor development by reducing power dissipation and system complexity.

EeroQ's technology is also CMOS-compatible, thus it can be made using silicon chip industry fabrication methods. When combined with a tiny form factor that might make quantum processors as small as a thumbnail, this compatibility allows for rapid commercial adoption and infrastructure integration.

The “Quantum Highway”: Vertical Integration Vision

The Quantum Highway approach requires SEALSQ to invest in EeroQ, not merely for financial gain. This industry concept proposes a "Quantum Security Vertical Stack" to integrate post-quantum cryptography (PQC), classical computing, and future quantum processing safely and uninterrupted.

SEALSQ founder and CEO Carlos Moreira said, “This expanded investment in EeroQ represents a significant milestone in SEALSQ’s Quantum Made in USA strategy and in the establishment of a Quantum Highway.” EeroQ's hardware and SEALSQ's Quantum Shield QS7001 and VaultIC safe parts will be combined to create end-to-end systems for critical infrastructure, government agencies, and national defense.

To demonstrate this capability, the two companies aim to build a PoC at the SEALSQ Quantum Center of Excellence in Geneva. This platform will show how EeroQ's quantum processing technologies, post-quantum resistant systems, and secure semiconductor hardware integrate smoothly, giving enterprises a roadmap for future-proof infrastructures.

Emerging Global Footprint and “Quantum Corridor”

The “Quantum Made in USA” slogan promotes American sovereignty, yet SEALSQ is worldwide. This company has invested heavily in Europe and the US, putting resources along the Quantum Corridor:

Spain: SEALSQ and its parent company, WISeKey International Holding AG, have pledged $12 million and €20 million from the Spanish government's SETT.ES program to create a Post-Quantum Semiconductor Personalization and Test Center in Murcia.

Switzerland: PQC-secured blockchain identities will be integrated into enterprise and financial systems through a $3.5 million Group investment.

France: The purchase of top ASIC designer IC'ALPS is expected to speed up the production of customized, quantum-ready silicon.

WISeSat deployment cost $10 million.Space to launch a network of satellites for global encrypted communications following the quantum revolution.

Investment in ColibriTD attempts to boost semiconductor wafer yields using quantum power.

Future: Ethics, Engineering, and Financial Momentum A commitment to quantum ethics distinguishes EeroQ. According to SEALSQ's goal of establishing reliable, human-centric technological ecosystems, co-founder Faye Wattleton's company has been studying ethical frameworks for responsible quantum development since 2018. Technical leadership at EeroQ includes Princeton University professor CTO Steve Lyon and Chief Science Officer Johannes Pollanen, who just completed a 9,600-square-foot Chicago research and development center.

SEALSQ's strong financial performance reflects this strategy. Sales rose 66% in 2025, and cash reserves exceeded 425 million. By 2028, SEALSQ's commercial pipeline will exceed $200 million, suggesting market demand for secure and post-quantum semiconductor technology.

Despite the excitement, industry observers warn that technological and materials science challenges must be overcome before quantum systems can be widely employed commercially for years. By combining safe post-quantum cryptography with cutting-edge qubit architecture, SEALSQ is leading the cybersecurity-next-generation computing convergence.

SEALSQ CEO Carlos Moreira will lead a high-stakes morning quantum cybersecurity discussion. Moreira will give the keynote, Technological Sovereignty in the Quantum Era. The EU must generate local, “sovereign” technology, as this talk will demonstrate. SEALSQ is building a European post-quantum technology stack by integrating France's secure semiconductor expertise with new innovations, according to Moreira. This strategy reduces semiconductor supply chain dependence on Asia or North America.

French Engineering for 30 Years

Three decades of industrial history solidify SEALSQ's “French technology champion” status. SEALSQ France employs 200 specialists in Meyreuil, Grenoble, and Toulouse.

The company's engineering roots are in Gemplus, a 1980s smart card pioneer. This tradition is exemplified by General Manager Bernard Vian, who transformed the company from a specialist hardware supplier to a Nasdaq-listed giant worth $1 billion. SEALSQ joined WISeKey Worldwide Holding Ltd. in 2015, which accelerated its global expansion and contributed to its 2023 Nasdaq IPO.

Quobly Partnership and Strategic Acquisitions

SEALSQ has taken many bold steps to strengthen the quantum ecosystem:

SEALSQ acquired Grenoble-based IC'Alps in August 2025 to boost its custom ASIC design capabilities.

SEALSQ and Grenoble-based silicon-based quantum computing company Quobly signed an MoU in January 2026. This potential strategic investment combines Quobly's processing power with SEALSQ's “secure-by-design” expertise. Establishing a sovereign quantum computing platform targeted for industrial and defense applications ensures that encryption-cracking computers are secure.

Global Goals: Indian Market

SEALSQ is focusing on European sovereignty while exporting its knowledge. The company formed SEALKAYNESQ Ltd. in India with Kaynes SemiCon after signing a final contract.

This company develops and customizes sovereign post-quantum semiconductors for India's security. By creating safe test and customisation platforms in India, SEALSQ is showing that its technical sovereignty paradigm may help other nations secure their digital boundaries.

Face the “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” Threat

SuperQ stressed the urgency of Post-Quantum Cybersecurity. Conference experts warned against the “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” (HNDL) strategy, in which nation-states and cybercriminal syndicates intercept encrypted data now to decrypt it when quantum computers reach sufficient power, known as “Q-Day”.

Beveridge warned of the cryptographic infrastructure's serious threats. Data being collected for decryption includes:

Protocols and bitcoin private keys.

Traditional finance systems and health records.

Government communications and enterprise data

SuperPQC: A Defense-in-Depth Strategy

SuperQ highlighted its SuperPQC module, an end-to-end security suite that diagnoses and defends Web2 and Web3 systems, to address these concerns. The module has several crucial features:

Cryptographic Vulnerability Analysis: Finding obsolete network encryption.

Quantum-resistant email, VPNs, and digital signatures.

Network-Level Protection: NIST-approved data transit protection.

01 Quantum's IronCap technology strengthens this security technique. SuperQ's autonomous quantum optimization stack and PQC create secure-by-design pipelines that meet legal and data sovereignty requirements.

Quantum democratization: enterprises to consumers

The Super platform targets top research institutes and government agencies, but SuperQ's ChatQLM app targets broad usage. Known as the “ChatGPT of quantum,” ChatQLM aims to give clients quantum-enhanced decision-making to help with daily tasks.

Moreover, the company is expanding globally through “Super Hubs” strategic experience hubs in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. These centers act as a “software and accessibility layer,” easing technical and financial barriers to quantum commercialization for mid-sized enterprises.

Financial Growth and Corporate Stability

SuperQ just extended its warrants, showing confidence in its future. The corporation extended 3,903,796 common share purchase warrant expiration dates to 17 May 2026. The warrants were issued for private placements in 2023–2024.

This extension gives the company financial flexibility as it expands abroad. This update requires no action from warrant holders.

Mandate 2026: Quantum Readiness Year

The integrated SuperQ strategy matches changing worldwide regulations. Digital trust is changing rapidly owing to many factors:

Budget Increases: The Pentagon just allocated $15.1 billion for cyber, largely for quantum issues.

The EU has set 2026 deadlines for high-risk industries to switch to PQC.

Businesses are adopting quantum computing to address complex optimization difficulties.

Naoris Protocol is spearheading the Web3 cybersecurity transformation with the first decentralized post-quantum cybersecurity infrastructure for blockchain ecosystems. This groundbreaking project comes at a vital time when enhanced phishing tactics and quantum computing threaten Web3.

Phishing attacks have cost users $341 million in the last 300 days, emphasizing the need for a solution. The rapid development of quantum computing, which is expected to make cryptographic defences obsolete, poses another grave threat: a “Q-Day” when encryption could be hacked. Traditional security techniques designed for centralised Web2 systems are "crumbling" and unsuitable for blockchain technology's innate dispersion. Naoris Protocol addresses this issue with a truly decentralised trust architecture.

Outstanding Testnet Results

In early 2025, Naoris Protocol launched the DePIN testnet. Impressive results from this testnet show the protocol's capability and scalability in combating current and new threats:

It completed almost 80 million post-quantum transactions.

Real-time threat prevention and elimination total 392 million.

2.8 million testnet secure wallets were produced.

There are over 900,000 distributed security nodes.

These numbers are astonishing and signal a shift towards proactive, decentralised cybersecurity that can scale with Web3's rapid growth. This collective defence system aims to make user protection possible and practical.

Core Technologies and Multi-Layered Defence

The strong security of Naoris Protocol uses Dilithium-5 post-quantum cryptography. This solution "future-proofs" the protocol by creating an unbreakable signature system that will remain secure even when quantum computers are used in cryptography. Dilithium-5 handles advanced phishing attacks such false transaction approvals and ice phishing in addition to quantum resilience.

The transaction simulation layer is essential to phishing prevention. Phishers often use guesswork, but this layer gives users explicit previews of what they're authorising. Users can see the consequences of their actions before committing.

The protocol's distributed browser security network boosts defences. This network's Naoris-running devices form a defence mesh. Browser security nodes analyse web traffic to detect and block malicious scripts and URLs before users do. This scattered technique makes network breaches harder since attackers must overrun the entire system rather than just one point or security provider.

Naoris Protocol is developing and delivering solutions to address other severe Web3 issues besides phishing. Among these initiatives:

The protocol is developing sandboxing, adaptive multisignature (multisig) wallets, and encrypted backups to prevent private key loss or theft. These measures aim to secure transactions and reduce risks.

Smart Contract Vulnerabilities: Naoris is developing a reputation-based dApp grading system for problematic apps leveraging integrity, automated auditing, and real-time UX notifications. These tools evaluate dApp and smart contract security to prevent dangerous interactions.

By improving SubZero infrastructure, these changes aim to make Web3 ecosystems more resilient to attacks.

$NAORIS Token Launch

To power this post-quantum infrastructure, $NAORIS will launch in mid-July 2025. The public token generation event (TGE) is in Q2 2025, however internal confirmation shows it will happen in late July. This coin will enable several key Naoris Protocol ecosystem features, including:

Cybersecurity services including compliance audits and anomaly detection.

Protocol governance, node staking.

Compatible ecosystems for cross-chain application.

By participating in the testnet, community members can earn points for the token launch.
