Beyond the Hype: Blockchain’s Quantum Moment
Beyond the Hype: Blockchain’s Quantum Moment
As blockchain continues to mature and quantum technologies move closer to practical relevance, we’re entering a critical inflection point.
QBase are partnering with Solana and ZAN for an event with leaders across enterprise, quantum technologies, blockchain infrastructure, and investment to explore what comes next - where do these two technologies intersect, and what it means.
The discussion will move beyond theory and speculation, focusing on tangible progress, emerging risks, and the opportunities created when quantum and blockchain begin to converge.
What to Expect
The threat quantum poised and what’s being done about it
Insights from those building and deploying at the frontier of quantum and blockchain technologies
Honest perspectives on enterprise adoption and real-world use cases
Investor viewpoints on where capital is flowing across both ecosystems
A forward-looking discussion on security, infrastructure, and next-generation compute
6pm Arrival
6.30pm: Opening Remarks from Eric Van der Kleij (Partner, QBase) A short framing of the current landscape at the intersection of quantum computing and blockchain - and why this moment matters.
6.35pm: Ronit Ghose, Future of Finance, Citi Institue - Overview of Citi Institute’s report on Quantum Threat
6.45pm: Panel 1 - Enterprise Adoption

Who Should Attend
Enterprise leaders exploring blockchain and emerging compute
Investors and allocators across Web3, deep tech, and frontier infrastructure
Founders building in blockchain, quantum, or adjacent ecosystems
Strategists and operators tracking the next wave of technological disruption
Why This Matters
Quantum computing has the potential to reshape the security foundations of blockchain. At the same time, blockchain may play a critical role in enabling the coordination, verification, and economic models of future quantum systems. This is not a distant conversation - it’s beginning now.
