Post-quantum security is no longer a theory.
It is becoming a forced migration problem for over $3 trillion in crypto assets.
In this episode, we break down why post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is not a drop-in upgrade, and how signature size and verification cost quietly destroy TPS, liquidity, and decentralization when implemented incorrectly.
Most “just upgrade signatures” narratives ignore the core constraint:
PQC imposes a throughput tax.
At scale, this shows up as:
Slower execution
Higher validator hardware costs
Wider spreads and worse liquidity
Collateral haircuts and higher margin
Forced asset migration
