  "question": "Are STARKs post-quantum secure?",
  "answer": "FRI-based STARKs rely only on collision-resistant hash functions, so they have no known quantum-vulnerable assumption, unlike pairing- or discrete-log-based systems. This is a plausibility argument about assumptions, not a proof of quantum security, and it says nothing about the rest of your system — signatures, key exchange and encryption remain separate problems. See Section 01.",
