Why Zond Matters

Quantum Threats Are Accelerating
The threat of quantum computers cracking encryption has shifted from "decades away" to a current concern. Major developments include:
NIST finalizing the first set of post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024
The EU Digital Operational Resilience Act coming into effect in January 2025, requiring preparedness for cryptographic threats
US federal agencies being legally required to prepare for quantum migration
Based on major quantum company roadmaps, the predicted time to crack ECC has been shortened to 2027-2033
Algorithm breakthroughs have reduced the number of qubits needed to crack ECC-256 from 300 million to about 1 million
Google’s Willow processor demonstrated a key error correction milestone in December 2024
Traditional blockchains face a huge migration challenge—complex technical barriers, potential performance compromises, and user consensus issues. Zond has been quantum-ready from day one.
Safe Harbor for the Ethereum Ecosystem
The EVM ecosystem is valued at over $300 billion. QRL Zond creates a unique opportunity:
ERC-20 tokens can be replicated on quantum-resistant infrastructure (as QRC-20)
DeFi protocols can be deployed before quantum threats emerge
NFTs and digital assets are protected from future attacks
