Three years before @NIST picked its first post-quantum algorithms, @IBM was already migrating a bank 🏦 July 2019. No standards. No playbook. Every method and tool invented on the fly. That project convinced Antti Ropponen, Executive Partner at IBM consulting the quantum migration would touch every system a company runs.
Humanity's greatest engineering challenges: 🧑🚀 Landing on the Moon: complete ⚛️ Splitting the atom: complete 🌉 Spanning the Golden Gate strait: complete 💥 Building a 27 km particle collider: complete 🧬 Sequencing the human genome: complete 🛰️ A navigation system covering the whole planet: complete 🌌 Detecting gravitational waves from over a billion light years away: complete 🚀 Rockets that fly themselves home: complete ⏳ Quantum computers breaking today's encryption: in progress NaoX has been building for that last one for years. Years of research. Advisors who chaired NATO's Intelligence Committee and led Norway's cyber defence. One of the few post-quantum Layer 1s already running, on NIST's standard from its first block. Mainnet is operating in its initial phase. Validator onboarding is underway, and developer access is next. gNaoX ☕️
This week is a YUGE one 🎙️ On Episode 7 of The Post-Quantum Experience, we’re joined by Antti Ropponen, Executive Partner at @IBM Consulting. IBM is building quantum computers and helping the world defend against them at the same time. Antti breaks down what a real quantum-safe migration looks like and why signatures are the hard part. Must watch 👇
Bitcoin's genesis block was mined 17 years ago. Since then it has survived Mt. Gox, the block size wars, China's mining ban and the collapse of FTX. In 2026, the biggest threat to its existence is quantum computing. Word is spreading, and the conversation around it is heating up. This week, @VitalikButerin and @drakefjustin both advised holders to keep funds in addresses that have never signed a transaction. It isn't only Bitcoin. Every chain that signs with elliptic curves faces the same question. Bitcoin just has the most to lose, and no one in charge to decide. Freeze the coins, migrate voluntarily, slow the drain or launch lifeboats? Every option is on the table, and none of them is free. NaoX positioned itself for this from the first block. Transactions can be signed with NIST's post-quantum standard and validators have only ever used post-quantum keys, so this is one debate NaoX never has to have. Can Bitcoin & crypto survive quantum?
