Post-quantum migration runs on an industry clock. Custodians, wallets, tools, and agents all need time to move before quantum breaks today’s signatures. NEAR’s mainnet upgrade to quantum-safe accounts already starts that clock.

Crypto's quantum arms race is accelerating fast In the past two weeks alone: TRON DAO put post-quantum signatures on testnet, NEAR Protocol shipped quantum security in its 2.13 upgrade, and the $XRP Ledger advanced a five-part post-quantum roadmap. Zcash's Tachyon upgrade targets quantum readiness too, per CoinDesk Research. The industry isn't waiting for Q-Day to arrive before hardening its cryptography.

1/ Starknet was built with quantum risk in mind from day one. STARKs are post-quantum resistant by nature. Native Account Abstraction makes wallets upgradeable by design. Post-quantum wallets are already possible on Starknet. And the remaining pieces require relatively little additional work from our side. In short, quantum computing is not a threat to Starknet’s future. If anything, it plays to Starknet’s strengths.

Quantum computing is moving from theory to national priority. On Fox Business, BTQ Head of Silicon Product Sean Hackett discusses President Trump’s new quantum executive orders, the security threat posed by quantum computers, and why post-quantum infrastructure must be built before Q-Day.

🔶MAJOR TECHNICAL UPGRADE: CORE IS SET TO BECOME QUANTUM-RESISTANT Core DAO 🔶 is building quantum resistance into its full stack using NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms, the same standards the U.S. government adopted across national security systems after 8 years of global review. During the transition, Core transactions will carry both current and quantum-safe signatures simultaneously, with both required to verify. Since $BTC's governance moves slowly by design, Core's execution layer can upgrade independently, making it a quantum-safe environment for $BTC capital while $BTC itself transitions.

Today is World Quantum Day! A great reminder that quantum's impact on cryptography isn't theoretical, it's only a matter of time. To mark the occasion, CEO StaciW_DC sat down with world-renowned post-quantum cryptographer and Algorand CSO Chris Peikert to discuss the quantum threat to blockchain. Since 2022, Algorand has been leading in blockchain quantum resilience by securing its entire chain history with Falcon-signed State Proofs. In 2025, we took it further: the first quantum-resistant transaction protecting real digital assets was executed on mainnet. With Google now targeting 2029 for its own post-quantum migration, the urgency is clear. Algorand isn't waiting, we're already building for that future. Watch now! 👇

An estimated $470 billion worth of Bitcoin is exposed to quantum attacks. Alex Shevchenko 🇺🇦 explains why NEAR Protocol was designed with cryptographic upgrades in mind and how the network recently introduced the first approved post-quantum cryptography primitive. • Users can now add post-quantum cryptography (PQC) keys to their NEAR accounts. • Those accounts can hold assets from multiple blockchains, providing additional protection for cross-chain assets. • This marks the first step in NEAR’s broader post-quantum cryptography (PQC) roadmap. • NEAR is the first blockchain to deliver support for approved PQC keys, with future upgrades planned for chain signatures and network consensus NEAR Intents

🔥CHARLES HOSKINSON ON BITCOIN’S QUANTUM CRISIS: "TO DO NOTHING WOULD RESULT IN OVER 8 MILLION $BTC BEING STOLEN.” Hoskinson says Bitcoin cannot ignore the quantum threat forever. He suggested the network to either add optional post-quantum signatures, or freeze legacy accounts that fail to migrate. His bigger argument, however, was that Bitcoin lacks a clear governance layer to make that choice. During the Consensus Miami event, he warns of over 50% chance quantum computers could threaten crypto security by 2033.

Ethereum Researcher Justin Drake, who co-authored Google's recent quantum paper: "I've stopped thinking about post-quantum as a hurdle that we have to overcome, and I think of it more as an opportunity. It's an opportunity for Ethereum to stand out as the very first global financial system that is post-quantum secure — not just relative to its competitors, but also relative to fiat and tradfi." Justin also believes quantum presents an opportunity for Ethereum to become the best version of itself: “The move to post-quantum is essentially a rewrite, and that’s a massive opportunity to start with a clean slate and wipe our technical debt.” The rewrite bundles post-quantum security with a new ZK virtual machine (LeanVM) that can snarkify the entire consensus layer in real time. The result is that the Ethereum L1 can scale to 10,000 TPS at 1 gigagas/second — while simultaneously becoming quantum-secure. Source: Bankless (Mar 2026)

Jim Cramer is selling his Bitcoin over quantum fears Honestly, this is not a dumb take from Cramer. It was the fact that quantum computing has officially entered mainstream conversations. Jim Cramer also said he’s planning to sell all his $BTC because of quantum risks. Then IBM’s CEO warned everyone to be paranoid about what’s coming in the next 3–4 years. Whether you agree with them or not isn’t the point. The point is this: If people are questioning whether tomorrow’s computers can break today’s cryptography… Why are we still trusting today’s privacy tools to protect tomorrow’s data? That’s exactly why I’ve been following what QVPN is building. Unlike traditional VPNs that mainly hide your IP, QVPN is being built with quantum-safe protection on top of DIAM’s blockchain infrastructure. Most people won’t care until it’s too late. I’d rather prepare before everyone else starts asking the same questions. If quantum ends up changing cybersecurity the way AI changed software, the projects building for that future today will matter the most. Join QVPN Genesis and mine $SHHH 🔗 #Quantum

Into the quantum realm we go with the brilliant Prineha Narang. Narang earned her PhD in applied physics at Caltech, taught materials science at Harvard and now has her own lab at UCLA. The lab focuses on quantum materials, non-equilibrium dynamics, photonics, quantum information science and other easily digestible areas. Beyond her academic career, Narang is a science advisor to the government and a venture capitalist at DCVC. As you might imagine, we get into quantum computing and quantum technology in this episode. Quantum vs. AI, the US vs. China, when quantum tech will break encryption, quantum sensing and whether or not quantum technology actually has a bright future. The quantum sensing portion of the chat was all new to me and rather astonishing. Since Narang is also a competitive runner and mountaineer, we provide some top tips on gear because that is just the kind of all-purpose podcast that we deliver. Timestamps 0:00 Intro 2:16 The physicist who runs marathons 14:03 Cold-emailing her way into IBM 33:02 Did AI steal quantum's thunder? 46:28 Google's encryption bombshell 57:20 The US vs. China quantum race 1:06:48 Quantum sensing: who sneezed? 1:22:28 Should students still bet on quantum? 1:30:38 When does quantum get real? 1:34:54 The gear tip
