Quantum Security for Digital Assets
As quantum computing accelerates toward cryptographically relevant milestones, the digital asset ecosystem faces an architectural reckoning. Public blockchains like Ethereum are charting multi-year post-quantum cryptography (PQC) roadmaps and custody providers are testing PQC in practice, but protecting distributed ledgers, critical infrastructure and cross-border digital economies requires coordinated action across industry, regulators and government agencies. This afternoon brings them into one room.
We open with Project Eagle, a live PQC pilot co-led by Safeheron and the Responsible Fintech Institute, in which banks and regulators across multiple jurisdictions test quantum-resistant multi-party computation (MPC) signing on a public testnet. A panel of leaders from law, law enforcement technology, smart-city jurisdictions and quantum security then examines signature scheme migration, systemic risks to custody and key management, and the public-private standards needed before Q-Day. We close with Ethereum's post-quantum roadmap and what it means for institutions, followed by networking.
