Performance comparison of NIST PQC algorithms: ML-KEM is fastest for key exchange, ML-DSA offers the best signature speed-to-size ratio, SPHINCS+ provides maximum security assurance with larger overhead.
ML-KEM-768: KeyGen 0.1ms, Encapsulate 0.15ms, Decapsulate 0.15ms. Public key: 1,184 bytes. Ciphertext: 1,088 bytes. Comparable to ECDH in speed, slightly slower than X25519. The performance overhead of quantum-safe key exchange is negligible for practical applications.
ML-DSA-65: Sign 2.7ms, Verify 1.0ms, Signature 3,309 bytes. SPHINCS+-128s: Sign 1,000ms, Verify 2.5ms, Signature 7,856 bytes. ML-DSA is 370x faster for signing and produces 2.4x smaller signatures. SPHINCS+ trades performance for conservative security assumptions.
BMIC uses ML-KEM-768 for key exchange and ML-DSA-65 for signatures — the optimal combination of performance, security, and NIST compliance. The smart account architecture absorbs size overhead so users experience classical-like performance with quantum-grade security.
Which algorithm should I choose? For most applications: ML-KEM for key exchange, ML-DSA for signatures. Use SPHINCS+ only when hash-function-only security is required and performance is not critical.
Every day you wait, more of your public keys are being harvested. Intelligence agencies are running Harvest Now, Decrypt Later operations right now. Your wallet’s ECDSA keys are being collected and stored for the day quantum computers can crack them. That day is approaching faster than anyone expected.
BMIC’s presale is live — but it won’t last forever. With 50 phases and a 20% price increase from first to final tier, every phase that passes means a higher entry price. The public listing price will be set ABOVE the final presale tier. Early participants get the best deal. Period.
Don’t be the person who understood the quantum threat but didn’t act. The presale has already raised over $500,000 from investors who understand what’s coming. The window for ground-floor positioning is closing.
