I can't thank the team @ETHCincoDeMayo enough for their hospitality at such a high quality event. 🙏🙏🙏 It was a true pleasure to share our work on PQ Transactions inside Ethereum!
My slides are available here:

The private key is crypto's original sin.
It's gotten so bad that I default recommend CEXs to people instead of self-custody.
What is the easiest onboarding for new users into a safe non-custodial solution, where if they get phished they don't lose everything?

Incredibly important work
One underdiscussed drawback of "crypto agility" is the significant risk of ecosystem fragmentation—we didn't leave central banking behind just to lock ourselves in more walled gardens
Let's align on standards that retain composition & interoperability
Happy to share that @quipnetwork will be pledging 10,000 USD for @thedaofund PQ Wallet Security Initiative. If you run a project that works with Ethereum and care about quantum readiness, I hope you will join us:

AmericanFortress™ joins eight blockchain organizations in the Quantum Alliance to help define open standards for post-quantum readiness.
Crypto’s future needs security we can verify. We’re helping set the standard.
Founding contributors: @YuviLightman, @QuantusNetwork @MehowHacks, @HiokiLeona, @intmaxIO @aaron1sme, @KeystoneWallet @SebastienGllmt, @midnightfdn @cadillion and @rcarback, @quipnetwork @PQA_Rich, @PQabelian @bizdevving, @thevault_soft @katina_messinis, @hackenclub

As a treat, Claude also reverse engineered the NBS's 1977 DES S-box test vectors and determined that it was generated on a PDP-11 Unix V6 using rand() .

Postquant Labs is the team building Quip Network 🦋
Proud to be a founding contributor to the Quantum Alliance, helping set the standard for post-quantum readiness.
🚨HUGE: Nine crypto groups officially launch the Quantum Alliance as over 6 MILLION Bitcoin sit EXPOSED.
Quantus, Keystone, Hacken and six others say about 6.04 MILLION $BTC, roughly 30% of supply, is "quantum-exposed at rest."
The alliance will set shared standards to test which networks and wallets are truly quantum-ready.
No quantum computer powerful enough to crack them exists yet.

Abelian joins as a founding contributor, represented by CBO @PQA_Rich, alongside @QuantusNetwork, @quipnetwork, @midnightfdn, @KeystoneWallet, @intmaxIO, @Americanfort_io, @thevault_soft and @hackenclub.
First deliverable: a public definition of quantum readiness, plus open test criteria any team can run against its own implementation.
“A network can call itself ‘quantum-resistant’ today with no shared understanding of which parts of its system the claim covers or what evidence should support it.”
The Quantum Alliance was formed to set that bar.

secp256k1 was later found to have a bunch of advantageous properties for cryptocurrencies (which seemed to be purely coincidental, as there was no likely manner in which Satoshi would have known about them), and that made a lot of designers continue to use the curve.

Quantum Echoes is now the #3 Ethereum collection of all time on OpenSea 🦋
Thank you to every collector who made this happen, and to @opensea for the support along the way.
Gemesis, we see you 👀

When a project claims to be "audited” the first question is: against what? Ask the same about "quantum-resistant" and there's no clear answer yet.
Today, nine blockchain organizations launched the Quantum Alliance, an open standards body working to define a standard for quantum resistance. Hacken is one of the founding contributors.
Practical note: once a wallet sends a transaction, its public key stays on-chain permanently. No computer can reverse-engineer this public key to obtain the private key. A large enough quantum computer could, none exists at this time.
6.04M BTC (30.2% of supply) is already counted as exposed. The same signatures also safeguard stablecoin minting keys and bridges.
The Quantum Alliance will publish an open definition of readiness, establish test criteria any team can run on its own implementation, and provide reference designs for migration.
Work will start in four main groups:
- Migration
- Post-quantum ZK
- Wallet security
- Сross-chain compatibility
Hacken joins Quantum Alliance alongside @QuantusNetwork, @quipnetwork, @midnightfdn, @KeystoneWallet, @Americanfort_io, @intmaxIO, @PQabelian and @thevault_soft.

“Post-quantum” is now a marketing buzzword.
We’re here to separate the legit tech from the vaporware.
Today, ten contributors from across the industry launch the Quantum Alliance.
This open standards body will define blockchain quantum readiness.
Contributors submit proposals and earn support through evidence and working code.

An honor to be on stage with such distinguished fellows!
PQC is only the beginning of a quantum-readiness plan—your entire policies and procedures stack must evolve to contend with partners who are slow to upgrade
A quantum attack looks just like any other request to wire $100M
Quantum security means being able to change cryptography without breaking the systems that rely on it.
@conordeegan, @cadillion, and @MehowHacks on crypto agility, migration, and what it takes to put post-quantum cryptography into production.
Here’s their full conversation with @mrbibhu from Quantum & Privacy Day.
