We're already in 2026, and some blockchain networks are still operating without any quantum-resistant measures in place. This raises a critical question for the entire ecosystem: how are projects planning to address the long-term security implications? Quantum computing poses a genuine threat to current cryptographic standards. Builders focusing on chains that haven't prioritized quantum resistance might want to reconsider their infrastructure choices—especially as computing capabilities continue to advance at an accelerating pace. The window for proactive upgrades won't stay open forever.

Quantum computing has been an issue that should have been taken seriously long ago. Are we only realizing it now?

The issue of quantum threats should have been addressed long ago; by then, it will be too late to cry.

Is no one really caring about quantum computing... It should be getting started right now.

ngl, most chains sleeping on this are basically running with expired locks. quantum's not some theoretical boogeyman anymore—it's the mempool reaper coming. builders ignoring this are just begging to get exploited the moment someone figures out the optimization angle. amateur hour energy.
