Post Quantum cryptography - Top projects are working on it. So is it FUD, narrative, or maybe just reality?

A surge in projects pushing to have Post Quantum cryptography asap.

We saw STRK jump after posting potential plans to become an L1.

TRON announced it is preparing its rollout. NEAR did the same. I think ZEC too.

Some took things a step further and raised concerns over whether NIST approved algos face risks with the OpenAI math display. But there was also well written pushback to that.

A handful of smaller projects jumped - QRL, CELL, QTS, etc

And some didn't react to the increased awareness like my conviction play QANX :)

Seems ALGO didn't do much last week, but was having a solid month.

And there's several others trying to position themselves.

So what is happening? Are all these projects trying to grab the narrative? Or are they collectively just creating FUD?

My stance has always been there is enough risk that systems are forced to address it.

Trying to convince people otherwise when all major governments and top companies are preparing is impossible to do.

So now we enter the phase where we see what this means for the space.

Projects implementing Post Quantum cryptography is great.

It doesn't create utility for chains.

It is a mandatory requirement most wish they didn't have to deal with.
Migration challenges, size and speed impacts, upgrade risks, etc.

There's a reason it was easier to just call it fud all these years. But now that's rapidly changing.

So, those that do it well should take some share from those that don't.

But the end game of attracting adoption and demand remains the same. Now it's a matter of who does that well with the added challenge of quality post quantum solutions. Time will tell, but things are moving fast.

How do you see this playing out?
