A well-known compliant platform recently announced the establishment of an "Independent Advisory Committee on Quantum Computing and Blockchain," with the main task of assessing the potential impact of future quantum computing technology on blockchain cryptographic security, while also providing professional and neutral technical guidance for the entire industry.

The committee's lineup is quite strong. Notable experts include Scott Aaronson from the University of Texas at Austin, cryptography specialist Dan Boneh from Stanford, Justin Drake, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, and relevant experts from EigenLayer. This group brings together top minds from the fields of quantum computing, cryptography, and blockchain.

In fact, this reflects a common concern—although quantum computing is not yet fully commercialized, its potential indeed poses a latent threat to current encryption systems. By forming such an independent committee, it can serve as an early warning system for risks and provide scientific basis for industry standards and protective measures. It’s a wise move to prepare in advance.
