Quantum secure encrypted money
$2Tn needs to move
We got all sorts of pushback on quantus:native
- Quantum is not really a problem - prevalent argument last year
- Bitcoin does not follow the laws of physics so it's not a problem (???)
- Chains can easily upgrade once it becomes a problem
- Don't try to scare me into buying your project (????)
In reality, crypto, as the name implies, is dependent on cryptography.
In early chains, the chain and the cryptography were the same thing
So you can't just swap it out, the same way you can't swap out a car's engine.
The entire car is built around the engine - it's best to just build a new car around a new engine, or build cars where the engine can be swapped out for another tech
I am highly optimistic on the future of mankind
Sound money is at the core of a new civilization - a pure, fair, money system is easy to do, we had the technology since Satoshi invented Bitcoin - and now, crypto needs to adapt to continue.
Quantus is here to ensure sound money continues, and the full abundance of earth is available to all
Fix the money, fix the world
Quantinuum has achieved a major industry breakthrough that solves a critical error-correction bottleneck and validates our path to delivering a fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029.
We’ve announced a new world record for quantum error correction, achieving 99.9995% logical fidelity on our Helios commercial quantum computer using our error-correction architecture.
Equivalent to just five errors in a million operations, the result is 10× better than our previous record achieved just last month and 100× better than the best published result on any other hardware modality.
The study also demonstrated a record 12× reduction in logical errors as code distance increased, a critical step toward scalable fault tolerance.
These successive breakthroughs using different codes on the same commercial hardware demonstrate how Quantinuum's flexible error-correction architecture and highly accurate trapped-ion technology work together to enable exponential improvements in accuracy, with performance now within the target range for Apollo, our first universal fault-tolerant quantum computer planned for 2029.

Key features that will become non-negotiable for crypto projects:
1. Crypto agility:
We'll see many mathematical breakthroughs in the near future, and AI will surprise us time and again. The timeline for quantum computers is getting shorter.
All of the above lead to this: crypto agility will play a crucial role in adapting and adjusting security.
2. Post-quantum and post-AI security:
(Explained above.)
3. Privacy:
For crypto to expand, it must offer privacy.
4. UX:
Many crypto apps already have excellent UX. But it needs to be the standard, not the exception.
What else?
PSA: AI doesn't do anything without a human prompting it
Try it out for yourself. Open ChatGPT. Do nothing. See what happens.

Very good chance China is ahead in quantum
A CHINESE QUANTUM COMPUTER DID A TREDECILLION YEARS OF WORK IN 25 MICROSECONDS
In May, China’s Jiuzhang 4.0 ran a calculation in 25 microseconds that its team says would take El Capitan, America’s fastest supercomputer, more than 10^42 years. That’s a tredecillion, a 1 followed by 42 zeros. The universe is about 14 billion years old.
It’s real, peer reviewed in Nature, but it comes with a big catch. The task, called boson sampling, was designed specifically to be impossible for classical computers. It has no practical use. It proves the machine can do something no supercomputer can, not that it can do anything useful yet.
That’s why TODAYS news matters more.
A separate team, Beijing startup Nakai Quantum, out of Peking University, says it just finished assembling a completely different kind of machine, 4,096 individual atoms, each one a qubit, packed into a perfectly filled 64×64 grid. Atom machines like this are what the US has been betting on for useful computing. Harvard and QuEra ran algorithms on 48 error-protected qubits using about 280 atoms.
Nakai hasn’t released error rates yet, those decide whether 4,096 atoms is a computer or just a big grid. Caltech in the US holds the size record at about 6,100 atoms.

Very interesting
Post-quantum signatures are big. Falcon-512 is 666 bytes. ML-DSA-65, the scheme on QDay's migration path, is 3,309.
a16z's new Aerie aggregates 32,768 Falcon-512 signatures in 0.65s on a laptop into one proof that verifies in 54ms on a single core.
ML-DSA support is on their list of extensions. We'll be following that one closely. 🔐
This is really crazy when you think about it...
2 years ago the "consensus" was that you'd need over 2,000 qbits
Hedge accordingly
So there was a big drop in the hardware requirements for the memory efficient version of Shor’s algorithm, and it’s not the number you think.
Three days ago it was 672 qubits and 823m T gates. Now it is 660 qubits and 490m T gates. The memory requirements dropped by about 2% but the number of gates dropped by about 40%.
To compare, the most compute efficient version of Shor’s uses 1/700 the number of gates and about 2x the number of qubits, so it’s much superior (350x) in terms of quantum volume (qubits x gates).
Maybe it’s time for Bitcoiners to take this seriously?

In 9 weeks all US gov procurements will be required by law to be post-quantum.
IN FOUR MONTHS, THE NSA STOPS BUYING ANYTHING THAT RUNS ON TODAY'S ENCRYPTION.
THE REASON IS QUANTUM COMPUTERS.
This is not a proposal, but a published directive with a date.
It's called CNSA 2.0, the NSA issued it in 2022, tightened it in 2025, and almost nobody outside the agency has read it. It quietly orders every national security system in America to abandon the encryption the entire internet runs on, because a large enough quantum computer breaks all of it, and the NSA has decided that machine is coming.
The schedule:
January 1, 2027: every new system the government buys for classified or sensitive work must use quantum resistant encryption.
2030: all network equipment and software signing must run quantum resistant only. Legacy gear that can't be upgraded gets ripped out.
2033: operating systems, applications, cloud. Everything.
2035: full quantum resistance across all national security systems. Hard stop.
The NSA gave the EARLIEST deadlines to two categories, signed software and network traffic. Their stated reason: those are most exposed to harvest-now-decrypt-later, adversaries recording encrypted data today to crack it once the quantum computer exists.
Defense systems take 18 to 36 months to build. Anything designed today ships after the deadline. For much of the government, the planning window already closed.
Meanwhile your bank, your hospital, and the app you're reading this on run the exact algorithms the NSA is abandoning.

> US government is exiting pre-quantum tech wholesale
Does that mean NSA will start stacking $QTC?
😄
Anyway
Hedge your bets

1,000,000x more true than you think it's true
Show up
Don't do stupid stuff
-> Win
Showing up is really the number 1 quality for success, and it's related to wanting it more than wanting other things
Many people say they want something, but they never get it because they want other things more - so they get those other things instead
There has never been an AI agent that acted without prompt
An Ai agent on its own is inert
Does nothing
Any action the AI agent takes is the result of a human prompting it
AI doesn’t hack anything; humans using AI are hacking things

i just bought some $QTC from @QuantusNetwork.
i think post-quantum security could become one of the more interesting narratives in crypto over the next few months.
and $QTC is starting to look worth a closer look.
for years, we've known that quantum computing could eventually pose a serious threat to the cryptography securing BTC, ETH and most other blockchains.
Quantus is building a PoW L1 designed around that problem from day one.
the network went live on september 9, and the early numbers are interesting:
– 21M max supply
– ~294K QTC circulating
– ~$25M circulating MC
– 15K+ active accounts reported by the explorer
– 440K+ transactions processed
– 7,000+ GPUs mining at mainnet launch
the tech is also worth paying attention to:
– ML-DSA signatures based on NIST's post-quantum standard
– PoW consensus with GPU mining
– ZK-powered private transfers through Wormhole
– transaction fee burns on certain operations
and with SafeTrade season gaining attention, projects combining PoW, privacy and post-quantum security could attract more speculative liquidity.
ofc, there's a catch.
only a small percentage of the 21M supply is circulating, and the FDV is already much higher than the circulating MC.
mining emissions, future unlocks and thin liquidity are real risks.
still, i decided to take a position here.
if post-quantum becomes a major crypto narrative, i think $QTC has a chance to attract more attention.
nfa.
10 alpha picks on @safetrade exchange 👇
recently, projects listed on @safetrade have been getting more attention, especially those focused on privacy, post-quantum security, PoW and decentralized compute.
some tokens like $PEARL and tensorcash:native have already shown strong momentum.
i've always believed that liquidity follows attention. when a new narrative starts gaining traction, opportunities often emerge in projects that haven't attracted much attention yet.
SafeTrade is becoming an interesting place to look for early-stage projects, as several tokens get listed there before making their way to larger exchanges.
this morning, i spent some time going through the listings and picked out 10 projects i believe have growth potential.
here's my watchlist:
[1] $PEARL | @prlnet – AI compute & research
[2] tensorcash:native | @Tensorcash – verifiable AI inference
[3] $QUANTUS | @QuantusNetwork – post-quantum security
[4] base:0x9b5e262cf9bb04869ab40b19af91d2dc85761722 | @nockchain – ZK-powered PoW blockchain
[5] $QUBIC | @Qubic – decentralized AI compute
[6] $NPT | @NeptuneCash – privacy & post-quantum cryptography
[7] minotari:native | @tari – PoW ecosystem
[8] $GNK | Gonka – decentralized AI compute
[9] $XEL | XELIS – privacy-focused PoW blockchain
[10] $CLORE | @clore_ai – decentralized GPU marketplace
i'll be keeping an eye on these projects, especially those with active development, growing communities and improving liquidity.
ofc, not every token will perform well, and liquidity is still thin across many SafeTrade pairs.
but if this narrative continues to gain traction, i believe more opportunities could emerge from this list.

fear not!
this is no cyberpocalypse
this is the internet’s immune system finally waking up to an illness it has always had
a mere fever
the 0days were always there
the only thing that changed is awareness

Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.
