Blockcast 70: Quranium’s Quantum Leap – How Crypto’s Next Epoch Starts Now

Quantum-resistant blockchain isn't coming—it's already here. Quranium's protocol rewrite makes today's encryption look like a dial-up modem.

Why Wall Street's quants should be sweating: The project's post-quantum cryptography could make entire asset classes obsolete before they're even tokenized. (Bonus: Finally, a use case for quantum computing that doesn't involve helping hedge funds shave milliseconds off trades.)

Inside the architecture: How lattice-based signatures and hash-based cryptography create an unhackable ledger—assuming anyone can explain it to the SEC.

The irony? While banks play catch-up with 10-year blockchain pilots, Quranium's mainnet is already processing transactions that'll remain secure long after Moore's Law flatlines.

Last chance to future-proof your portfolio—or keep pretending SHA-256 is 'good enough' while quantum rigs warm up.

This week, host Takatoshi Shibayama speaks to Kapil Dhiman, co-founder and CEO of Quranium, a quantum-proof blockchain founded in 2024 that combines AI-native architecture, EVM compatibility and quantum security. They discuss Kapil's journey from a CPA to an entrepreneur in the blockchain space, the significance of quantum computing, and the dual nature of technology – its potential benefits and risks. Kapil emphasized the urgency of preparing for a quantum future, the importance of security in digital assets, and the roadmap for Quranium's innovations in creating a secure environment for cryptocurrency.

• Quantum computing is seen as a significant opportunity in technology.
• The dual nature of technology includes both benefits and risks.
• Security in the blockchain space is becoming increasingly critical.
• Potential threats posed by quantum computing are increasing, but many existing blockchain projects are not yet quantum secure.
• The future of technology will see quantum computers becoming more accessible, and the transition to post-quantum cryptography is inevitable for blockchain.
