LayerZero unveils Aerie with 0.65-second quantum-safe signature benchmark

LayerZero Labs has introduced Aerie, a research system that its developers say can aggregate 32,768 quantum-resistant Falcon signatures in 0.65 seconds on an Apple laptop without GPU acceleration. 32,768 Falcon-512 signatures were aggregated in 0.65 seconds using 16 worker threads. Aerie’s standard aggregate includes retained signature data, with a smaller shared-salt version requiring extra conditions. The researchers report faster proof generation than leanVM, while leanVM’s proofs verified faster. NIST lists Falcon as undergoing standardization, separately from its finalized ML-DSA signature standard. LayerZero’s Oct.
