DIAM: Hardening Base Layer Against Quantum Risk
Summary
The DIAM community announced a proactive effort to harden its base layer against potential quantum computing risks. DIAM is currently modeling quantum attack surfaces and collaborating with researchers to implement necessary security measures well in advance of any potential cryptographic breaks. This focus on preemptive hardening is highlighted as crucial for the industry's long-term security, contrasting with chains that might wait to address these future threats.
Quantum is a systems risk.
You don’t “react” to cryptographic breaks.
You design around them before they happen.
Diamante is modeling quantum attack surfaces now,
working with researchers and system architects,
and hardening the base layer years ahead of impact.
Chains that wait will explain later.

We've set up an independent advisory board on quantum computing and blockchain.
Security is our highest priority at Coinbase. Preparing for future threats, even those many years away, is crucial for our industry.
Quantum computers could have implications for blockchain/crypto.
