AI FINANCIAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES COMMERCIAL AGREEMENT WITH SUPERQ QUANTUM TO SUPPORT POST-QUANTUM SECURITY INITIATIVES

AI Financial Corp. has formed a strategic commercial agreement with SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc., a company specializing in hybrid quantum computing and postquantum cybersecurity.

The partnership is focused on supporting infrastructure security initiatives across portions of AiFi's digital asset platform as digital finance systems continue to evolve.

AiFi's infrastructure has processed more than $8-billion (U.S.) in cumulative transaction volume since inception, including approximately $3.5-billion (U.S.) during fiscal 2025. As institutional adoption of digital assets continues to grow, the company believes infrastructure security and operational resilience will remain important across payments, settlement, custody and software-driven financial systems.

Under the agreement, SuperQ will support AiFi in evaluating and strengthening portions of its infrastructure using SuperPQC, SuperQ's postquantum cryptography framework. The engagement is expected to include implementation work related to selected payment, trading and settlement work environments across the company's platform.

The scope of work includes security measures intended to support secure communications, transaction authentication and infrastructure resilience across portions of ALT5 Pay, ALT5 Prime and ALT5 AI. The agreement also includes evaluation of infrastructure frameworks intended to support compute availability, resource metering and future AI-driven financial applications.

Any future commercialization of compute-linked infrastructure initiatives would remain subject to ongoing technical evaluation, regulatory considerations, separate blockchain and tokenized development workstreams, and additional commercial agreements between parties.

The engagement is expected to focus on:

• Evaluation and potential deployment of postquantum cryptographic protections across selected portions of AiFi's infrastructure stack;
• Secure communications and authentication protections for covered payment, trading and settlement environments;
• Infrastructure assessment related to long-term operational resilience and evolving cybersecurity requirements;
• Evaluation of infrastructure frameworks supporting compute availability, resource monitoring and future AI-driven financial applications.

The initial implementation timeline contemplated under the agreement is expected to span approximately four months, subject to milestone completion and continuing technical evaluation.

Tony Isaac, chief executive officer of AI Financial, stated:

"As digital finance infrastructure continues to evolve, long-term security and operational resilience are becoming increasingly important. This agreement supports our focus on strengthening infrastructure resilience across key areas of our platform while also providing a framework to evaluate future infrastructure opportunities tied to evolving digital financial systems."

Dr. Muhammad Khan, CEO and board chair of SuperQ Quantum Computing, added:

"We are proud to support AiFi as it continues building modern institutional infrastructure for digital finance. Demand for advanced cybersecurity, infrastructure protection and next-generation compute frameworks continues to grow as financial systems evolve."
