Purpose
Large‑scale quantum computers will eventually break the ECDSA, Ed25519, and Schnorr signatures that underpin most public blockchains today. This category exists to discuss how ledgers, wallets, and smart‑contract platforms can stay trustless, permissionless, and censorship‑resistant in a post‑quantum world, balancing cryptographic soundness with real‑world incentives and governance constraints.
Common themes
- Designing or migrating chains with quantum‑safe signatures and commitments
- Balancing performance, cost, and security in post‑quantum upgrades
- Governance and community coordination for rolling out new crypto
- Privacy layers in a post‑quantum setting
