| Blockchain X Quantum | Hackathon
Quantum computers that can break our cryptography are on their way, and while major blockchains are getting ready to migrate to post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, no one’s talking about an underlying concern: With new algorithms comes new risk and uncertainty. In the financial services sector, we’re planning to mitigate this by introducing crypto agility – the ability to swap out cryptographic algorithms quickly and safely. The question is, how can we make blockchain and digital asset services crypto agile?
Join the FCAT Blockchain and Quantum incubators, Superteam Ireland and Solana on May 23-24 for a hackathon to build crypto agility into the blockchain ecosystem.
