Manage episode 492557442 series 2949557
What happens to smart contracts in a post-quantum world?
In this episode, Tarusha sits down with Ian Smith, the founder of Quantum EVM, to discuss what it takes to make blockchain infrastructure resilient to quantum threats. A Web3 builder since 2016 and a polymath developer fluent in 25+ programming languages, Ian shares how Quantum EVM is reimagining smart contract execution using post-quantum cryptography—without sacrificing compatibility with Ethereum.
From threat models and performance tradeoffs to tooling for developers and the risks of kicking the can down the road, this is a deep yet accessible conversation about the future of secure, decentralized compute.
