This is Why You Must Protect Your Digital Assets from the Quantum Threat Today December 02, 2025 - Baystreet.ca Distributed on behalf of 01 Quantum Inc. Quantum computers pose a significant threat to the global cryptocurrency market, creating substantial opportunities for companies that can help protect against attacks. That includes companies such as 01 Quantum Inc. (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF), formerly 01 Communique Laboratory, Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA), and Zscaler (NASDAQ: ZS). In fact, the arrival of Q-Day, or the moment when it is anticipated quantum computers will be capable of breaking widely used encryption, represents a looming threat to digital security. Compounding this is the growing risk presented by “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks where adversaries stockpile encrypted data for future quantum decryption. While technology leaders are beginning to adopt post-quantum cryptographic methods, most public blockchains remain vulnerable. QDW offers a practical, scalable solution to close this critical gap. In addition, according to 01 Quantum Inc., “state actors are expected to achieve quantum at scale by 2028” and are typically “two years ahead of where the commercial vendors are.” What that means is adversaries can collect encrypted data right now, with a long-term goal of decrypting it once quantum technology matures. It’s why protecting your encrypted information today is now more important than ever. To help, 01 Quantum Inc. (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF) Just Filed a US Patent Application for its Quantum DeFi Wrapper (QDW) Technology to Protect DeFi Operations from Being Attacked by Quantum Computer Attacks. 01 Quantum Inc. one of the first-to-market, enterprise level cybersecurity providers for the quantum computing era today announced the filing of a U.S. patent application for its Quantum DeFi Wrapper (QDW) technology. This innovation is designed to safeguard decentralized finance (DeFi) operations against the potential cybersecurity threat posed by the advent of quantum computers. DeFi underpins nearly all operational aspects of the digital asset ecosystem, from lending and borrowing to trading and staking, across major Layer 1 blockchains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Hyperliquid. QDW enables these activities to remain secure in a post-quantum world without requiring changes to the existing blockchain infrastructure. In addition, QDW extends protection to custodian wallets, ensuring that underlying tokens are shielded from quantum-based vulnerabilities. At the core of QDW is a Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) binding mechanism integrated into smart contracts. Acting as a “quantum circuit breaker,” the system halts operations if PQC authentication requirements are not met, thereby preventing unauthorized access through quantum-enabled key extraction. Market Context According to CoinMarketCap, the global crypto market is valued at $3.1 trillion (including stablecoins). With regulators accelerating timelines for quantum-resistant financial infrastructure, long-term digital asset security is becoming a critical priority. The urgency is underscored by the GENIUS Act, passed in July 2025 in the U.S., which requires stablecoins to be backed 1-for-1 with cash or short-term debt, helping to make them a major source of demand for U.S. Treasuries. Despite this maturity, the industry remains exposed due to reliance on classical cryptographic algorithms such as ECDSA. QDW addresses this gap by providing broad-spectrum protection without sacrificing interoperability or performance. Technical Highlights · Patent-pending method (US #19/396,202): Implementation of PQC circuit breaker. · Performance optimization: Compatible with existing Layer 1 chains. · Scalable toolkit: Includes support for custodian wallets and existing post-quantum stablecoins. Executive Commentary “Combining years of experience in post-quantum cybersecurity, collaboration with NIST, and commercial software engineering, we are excited to unveil our QDW technology for custodian wallets and DeFi operations for the crypto industry including stablecoins,” said Andrew Cheung, CEO of 01 Quantum. “Our mission is to give the crypto and stablecoin industries the confidence that digital assets can remain secure not just today, but in the quantum era ahead. It is important to understand that encrypted data being harvested today can be stored with the intent to decrypt it once quantum capabilities mature. Without proactive defenses, today’s assets could be compromised tomorrow.” Other related developments from around the markets include: Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, is launching Cortex® AgentiX™ to solve this problem. As the next generation of Cortex XSOAR®, AgentiX is the industry's most secure platform to build, deploy and govern the AI agent workforce of the future. Starting with the SOC, AgentiX is revolutionizing automation to counter adversaries who can launch attacks up to 100 times faster with AI. Its powerful prebuilt agents are able to dynamically plan, reason and execute solutions just as an expert would, giving security analysts a decisive advantage. Ultimately, AgentiX delivers up to a 98% reduction in MTTR with 75% less manual work, freeing time up for strategic initiatives. CrowdStrike expanded its Agentic Security Workforce, introducing new mission-ready agents that extend the Falcon® platform and drive the evolution of the agentic SOC. Building on the first wave of agents introduced at Fal.Con 2025, new agents bring agentic automation to common Falcon platform tasks such as app creation and data onboarding, accelerating outcomes and liberating analysts to focus on the strategic decisions that strengthen security. “If agents are expected to think, reason, and act like an expert analyst, they must be trained on expert experience, not legacy playbooks,” said George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike. “That’s the difference between static automation and true intelligence – playbooks train automation, people train intelligence. CrowdStrike’s agents learn from the world’s best SOC operators, giving them the judgment to act autonomously and the discipline to stay under defender command.” Okta, the leading independent identity partner, today announced new Okta Platform and Auth0 Platform capabilities, enabling organizations to build secure, standards-first AI agents that can be seamlessly woven into an identity security fabric for end-to-end lifecycle management. As part of the fabric, organizations will also be able to issue and verify tamper-proof digital credentials, helping establish trust and address rising AI-powered fraud. “AI is changing the workplace faster than organizations can adapt. We’re starting to see poorly built, deployed, or managed agents expose the risks of using a traditional patchwork of identity solutions,” said Kristen Swanson, SVP of Design and Research, Okta. “The modern enterprise requires an identity security fabric that can unify silos and reduce the attack surface. Our latest innovations weave agents into that fabric to manage their entire identity lifecycle, leveraging open standards like Cross App Access that help elevate the entire industry and create a more secure AI-powered ecosystem.” Zscaler, the leader in cloud security, today announced it has acquired innovative AI security pioneer SPLX, extending the Zscaler Zero Trust ExchangeTM platform with shift-left AI asset discovery, automated red teaming, and governance, so organizations can secure their AI investments from development through deployment. “Today marks an important step in advancing Zscaler’s role as the trusted partner helping organizations securely adopt AI,” said Jay Chaudhry, CEO, Chairman, and Founder of Zscaler. “AI is creating enormous value, but its full potential can only be realized when it can be secured. By combining SPLX’s technology with the intelligence of the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange and its native data protection that classifies, governs, and prevents loss of sensitive data across prompts, models, and outputs, Zscaler will secure the entire AI lifecycle on one platform. This will strengthen our industry leadership and give customers the confidence to safely embrace AI.” Legal Disclaimer / Except for the historical information presented herein, matters discussed in this article contains forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements.
