Quantum computing is often cited as the one technology that could, in theory, compromise today’s blockchain security models.
But how real is that risk, and how worried should we actually be?
The February CryptoMondays London event will be cutting through the noise to unpack what quantum computing really means for crypto. No scare tactics, no marketing spin – just an open, accessible conversation about what’s realistic, what’s still theoretical, and what people in the space are already doing about it.
We’ll touch on:
- What quantum computing actually is (no maths degree required)
- Which parts of blockchain security could be affected – and which probably won’t
- Timelines: what matters now vs what’s still a long way off
- How the industry is thinking about a post-quantum future
Keynote: Quantum vs Blockchain: Existential Threat or Industry Myth? Join us for an enlightening keynote speech from Chunteng Xiao, who will explore the impact of quantum computing on blockchain: what the potential risks are to cryptographic systems, how it is shaping the industry and what steps are being taken, as well as Nervos CKB’s approach to quantum resistance.
