As two of the most transformative technologies of the 21st century, blockchain and the quantum internet are poised to reshape the digital world. While they may seem to be on opposite ends of the technological spectrum — one rooted in classical cryptography and the other in quantum mechanics — recent advancements suggest a convergence…

As the world moves rapidly toward an era defined by quantum computing and decentralized technologies, a pressing question emerges: Can blockchain and the quantum internet co-exist, or even thrive together? While quantum computing poses challenges to traditional blockchain encryption, the development of a quantum internet introduces unprecedented opportunities for secure communication, distributed trust, and…

Introduction Quantum computing is one of the most disruptive technologies on the horizon, promising to solve complex problems far beyond the capabilities of today’s classical computers. At the same time, blockchain has emerged as the backbone of decentralized finance, digital identity, and distributed systems. The intersection of these two technologies poses both exciting opportunities…

Introduction: The Quantum Shift The advent of quantum computing has triggered debates across multiple industries, with the cryptocurrency market being one of the most directly impacted. Quantum computers, unlike classical computers, leverage quantum bits (qubits) to process vast amounts of data in parallel, potentially solving problems in seconds that would take traditional systems thousands…

Executive Summary 2026 is the year to move decisively from “planning” to “pilot-at-scale” on post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Core building blocks are ready: NIST finalized the first PQC standards—FIPS 203 (ML-KEM / Kyber), FIPS 204 (ML-DSA / Dilithium), and FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA / SPHINCS+) in August 2024, and selected HQC in March 2025 for an…
