What Is the Quantum Alliance? Nine Blockchain Firms Set Post-Quantum Standards

The Quantum Alliance is a new open standards body, launched by nine blockchain organizations on October 16, that will define what “post-quantum readiness” means for crypto networks, wallets, and infrastructure, and publish a common way to test whether a quantum-resistance claim is real. The group said its definitions, benchmarks, and migration guidance will all be released openly, according to its launch announcement . The problem it targets is specific. Nearly every major blockchain secures accounts with elliptic-curve signatures, and once an account signs a transaction its public key sits permanently on a public ledger.
