how blocks close, and why they stay closed.

proof-of-stake with 2.0-second finality. validators propose and attest blocks, and every attestation is signed with ML-DSA-87 — a lattice-based signature under NIST FIPS 204.

a classical chain's signatures live on an elliptic curve. run Shor's algorithm against it and the private key falls out in polynomial time. Lattice never uses those curves, so there is nothing for Shor's to factor.

finality means once a block is sealed, it is sealed. no reorgs, no probabilistic settlement, no waiting for a "safe" number of confirmations.
