Nine blockchain groups form Quantum Alliance to set post-quantum readiness standards
- —Alliance members include Quantus, American Fortress, Intmax, Keystone, Midnight Foundation, Postquant Labs, Abelian, The Vault and Hacken
- —About 6 million BTC, over 30% of supply, is quantum-exposed at rest
- —Practical quantum threats are forecast around 2028–2029
- —Work is split into four groups: blockchain migration, post-quantum ZK systems, wallet security and cross-chain compatibility
Why it matters: Common quantum-readiness standards could speed up migration of networks and wallets, cutting the risk of compromised legacy signatures.
