Protocol teams and custodians deal with a different version of the quantum threat. Bitcoin’s exposure depends on when public keys are revealed, and Ethereum has five distinct quantum vulnerabilities. No one can mandate a transition on a decentralized network, so migration depends on community governance and on holders moving funds to new addresses. Exchanges and custodians also have to protect the keys they manage for clients.
In the overview, we cover the threat, the post-quantum signature schemes under consideration, and the governance options. In the intensive, you work your wallet, key and governance exposure into a migration plan you can act on. We teach both courses from the Digital Assets Extension of the Applied Quantum PQC Migration Framework.
