Quantum Crypto Coins: Native, Token and Bridge Evidence

What should a quantum crypto coin evidence record identify?

Record the exact asset and transfer route: a native coin’s network, a hosted token’s network and contract identifier, or a wrapped asset’s origin, destination and bridge. Then identify the rules that authorize movement on that route. A ticker or project name can conceal these differences, so it cannot serve as the complete identity of the asset being assessed.

This is our comparison worksheet. NIST’s blockchain overview provides the ledger context; the digital-signature standard provides the authorization primitive’s role. Neither publication rates particular coins.

How should the conclusion handle a token or bridge dependency?

Write the conclusion at the same scope as the evidence. Native-chain signature evidence describes that chain’s authorization rules; it does not automatically describe a representation on another chain. For a token, inspect the applicable host-chain and contract controls. For a wrapped asset, add the bridge’s release or minting rules and any custody arrangements that actually apply.

A missing bridge or contract record is an unanswered dependency. Preserve it as a separate field so a reader can tell which part of the transfer route has evidence and which part still needs examination.
