Quantum computing risk in blockchain isn’t theoretical anymore. BlackRock just flagged it — and in this episode, I sit down with Ian Smith, CEO of Quantum EVM, to unpack what that means for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the entire crypto ecosystem.
We dive into how quantum breakthroughs could shatter current cryptographic standards, why most blockchains are still vulnerable, and what’s being done to build quantum-proof infrastructure — including how Quantum EVM is designing a post-quantum future that stays Ethereum-compatible.
