In episode 60 of The Crypto Beat, Kelvin and Tim were joined by Thomas Coratger, post-quantum team lead at the Ethereum Foundation, to break down how Ethereum is preparing for quantum computing with a 2030 target for shipping post-quantum resistant consensus. He explains how AI is accelerating both defense and offense in this race, and warns that bridges and DeFi oracles are particularly vulnerable weak points that could cascade failures across the entire crypto ecosystem.
