Post Quantum Blockchain Day 2024
Quantum computers could potentially break the encryption standards that secure blockchain systems, and it is time for the Web3 community to be prepared. On October 4th, 2024, cryptographers and innovators will gather at the quantum-themed conference to discuss how quantum resistance is crucial to securing our collective future in the blockchain space. https://event.pqabelian.io/
Hosted by Abelian Foundation, Post Quantum Blockchain Day 2024 is co-organized by PQA Labs, REVENT, and OffChain Hong Kong.
Hong Kong has solidified its role as one of the leading hubs in Asia. We aim to gather the brightest minds of the world to address the cybersecurity risks that quantum computing brings to existing encryption systems, the traditional financial sector, and Web3 ecosystems.
The inaugural event will be hosted in person at the Sky 100 Observation Deck and live-streamed online, bringing together academics, cryptographers, innovators, exchanges, legislators and regulators. Our vision for the conference is to bring together industry leaders to explore the future of blockchain security and post-quantum cryptography. Post Quantum Blockchain Day 2024 will feature thought-provoking keynotes, interactive panel discussions, and networking opportunities with pioneers in the Web3 space.
“All that’s needed to break Bitcoin is a quantum computer with 100k qubits. By applying an algorithm invented by MIT Professor Peter Shor, someone can, in a few hours, derive your private key from the public key. That’s why we need to upgrade our systems to be quantum resistant now”.
— Dr. Duncan Wong, Founding Member of Abelian Foundation
