This is Why Your Cryptocurrencies Must be Protected from the Threat of Quantum Computing

Distributed on behalf of 01 Quantum Inc.

Quantum computing will be a game-changer for multi-billion-dollar industries. They’ll be able to solve problems much quicker than conventional computers. Two, they may have the power to revolutionize medicine, finance, cybersecurity, cryptocurrencies, and even artificial intelligence far quicker than any of us ever thought possible.

But it could also create massive cyber problems, requiring the assistance of companies such as 01 Quantum Inc. (TSXV:ONE.VN) (OTC-BB:OONEF), Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:PANW), CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD), Okta (NASDAQ:OKTA), and Zscaler (NASDAQ:ZS).

Look at cryptocurrencies. Quantum computers would be able to solve the mathematical problems solved during Bitcoin mining much quicker than classical computers. And, if that were to happen, it could alter the distribution of mining power and have the potential to impact the decentralized nature of some cryptocurrencies. Quantum computers could also potentially break codes that keep cryptocurrencies safe, and even decrypt private keys from public keys. All of which allows bad actors to control cryptocurrencies.

In addition, according to 01 Quantum Inc., “state actors are expected to achieve quantum at scale by 2028” and are typically “two years ahead of where the commercial vendors are.”

What that means is adversaries can collect encrypted data right now, with a long-term goal of decrypting it once quantum technology matures. It’s why protecting your encrypted information today is now more important than ever. In short, the time to act and protect against the potential negatives of quantum computing is now.

In an effort to help, 01 Quantum (TSXV:ONE.VN) (OTC-BB:OONEF) will Launch Quantum-Sig Wallet to Protect Crypto from Quantum Attacks

01 Quantum (TSXV:ONE.VN) (OTC-BB:OONEF) announced today that its patent-pending Quantum DeFi Wrapper (QDW) will power the qLABS Quantum-Sig smart contract wallet. This wallet introduces enterprise-grade post-quantum cybersecurity directly into the Web3 environment through a strategic alliance, as previously announced, between qLABS and 01 Quantum.

Next-Generation Security for Digital Assets

The Quantum-Sig wallet technology will protect any smart-contract-based token such as Ethereum, HYPE or Solana including leading stablecoins such as USDT and USDC. At the core of this innovation is the upcoming qLABS quantum resilient ecosystem token known as qONE which will become the primary utility token powering this new security protocol across Web3.

This innovation directly addresses the accelerating risk of Q-Day which is the moment when it is anticipated quantum computers will be capable of breaking the classical cryptography that secures today’s digital assets. As a result, funds held inside traditional wallets that rely on classical signatures can be compromised. The Quantum-Sig wallet is designed to provide a future-proof safeguard against this threat.

“Quantum-Sig is a real breakthrough. It adds quantum level protection without new wallets, without new chains and without user friction,” said Antanas Guoga (Tony G), President of qLABS. “We are delivering the security Web3 needs without changing the way people already hold and trade crypto.”

Andrew Cheung, CEO of 01 Quantum, added, “We are excited to see our patent-pending QDW technology applied in a production environment to mitigate the Q-Day risk. By embedding post-quantum cryptographic primitives directly into the Quantum-Sig wallet introduces a quantum circuit-breaker architecture that neutralizes classical key compromise. This implementation demonstrates how our technology can deliver quantum-resilient transaction signing at scale, ensuring that digital assets remain secure today and in the post-quantum world of computing.”

Market Context

The global digital asset market exceeds three trillion USD according to CoinMarketCap. Regulatory bodies in several regions have already warned that quantum resilience will soon be a requirement for long term financial security. Despite this maturity, the industry remains exposed due to reliance on classical cryptographic algorithms such as ECDSA. Quantum-Sig wallet technology addresses this gap by providing broad-spectrum protection without sacrificing interoperability or performance for smart-contract based-tokens such as Ethereum or Solana including leading stablecoins such as USDT or USDC.

How it Works

The Quantum-Sig wallet applies security principles that are similar to the multi-signature wallets commonly used throughout Web3. In a standard multi-signature setup, two or more signatures are needed to release assets from a contract. In the case of the Quantum Sig wallet, the smart contract requires an additional signature that must be produced by a quantum resilient private key. As a result, a malicious actor cannot withdraw funds even if they compromise the classical key. The Quantum-Sig wallet ensures protection at the smart contract level while maintaining speed and interoperability for users and developers.

Technical Highlights

Patent-pending method (US #19/396,202): Implementation of PQC circuit breaker.

Performance optimization: Compatible with existing Layer 1 chains.

Scalable toolkit: Includes support for custodian wallets and existing post-quantum stablecoins.

The qONE token, which is a quantum resistant token on Hyperliquid, serves as the ecosystem asset that grants access to quantum resilient wallet functions, advanced security features, protocol governance and the broader quantum safe infrastructure developed by qLABS. The qONE initiative is designed to synchronize community engagement with the adoption of the Quantum-Sig technology, thereby incentivizing the sustained expansion of the ecosystem.

As the path toward large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing rapidly accelerates, enterprises must act now to secure their data. To provide a path to a quantum-safe future, Palo Alto Networks announced a plan with IBM to offer a new Quantum-Safe Readiness solution designed to help enterprises identify cryptographic exposure, understand quantum-computing related risks, and accelerate their transition toward quantum-safe security. By combining IBM's Quantum Safe Transformation services with the foundational network-level cryptographic intelligence from Palo Alto Networks security platforms, the new solution will give customers a comprehensive and actionable view of their cryptographic posture across hybrid environments, enabling them to accelerate their readiness for the post-quantum era. Anand Oswal, EVP, Network & AI Security Products at PANW said, “Our customers need a comprehensive, practical roadmap to a quantum-safe future and the experts to help them execute it. This collaboration provides just that by integrating our platform's deep cryptographic visibility and unique cipher translation capabilities with IBM's renowned quantum-safe services. Our cutting-edge solution will be able to immediately identify an organization's risk from a cryptographically relevant quantum computer and apply controls to protect their most vulnerable assets today, buying them critical time to execute a full migration."
