Super excited to be able to showcase what we have been building at the Cyberport Venture & Capital Forum 2026. It's an honor to be part of the Cyberport incubation family, and we look forward to seeing you all!
#CVCF2026 #HKFTW2026 #HongKong #Cyberport
PQA Labs is exhibiting at @cyberport_hk Venture & Capital Forum 2026 in Hong Kong, 4–5 Nov.
Three products for agent payments at our booth:
QDay: post-quantum, EVM-compatible settlement
Signet: AI agents pay within owner-set limits
Trellis Wallet: owners approve the spending
I heard this live and thought it was one of the best keynotes at this year’s @token2049 Singapore.
I was wrong.
Agents don't need crypto. It's us humans who do.
I break down what the industry got wrong in my @token2049 talk, Agents + Crypto: What's Real and What's Cope 👇

INTEL’S CEO SAYS QUANTUM GOES MAINSTREAM IN THREE TO FIVE YEARS
Lip-Bu Tan said it at a financial conference in Singapore this week. Not a quantum startup raising money, the CEO of the company that built the chip industry. He also noted he personally owns some $IONQ.
Intel missed mobile, and was so late to AI that the US government took a 9.9% stake in the company last year to keep it standing. Tan was brought in to stop it missing anything else.
Intel’s quantum bet is unlike anyone else’s. IonQ traps ions, Google chills superconductors, Infleqtion holds atoms in lasers. Intel makes its qubits out of silicon, on the same 300mm tooling that prints its processors. If the physics scales, Intel can stamp out qubits by the million in fabs it already owns.
A 12-qubit Intel machine went live at Argonne National Lab in January. Next target is hundreds of qubits. Small next to the pure-play roadmaps. The difference is Intel doesn’t need to build a factory first.
Google says useful quantum by 2029, Anthropic says its AI just made the circuits 17x cheaper, the WTO was told encryption has five years, now Intel says three to five. The dates are converging.

CLAUDE MYTHOS JUST MOVED UP THE TIMELINE FOR QUANTUM COMPUTING
Anthropic published it this morning. They gave Claude eight standard quantum subroutines, a checker that verifies the answer is right, and told it to find cheaper circuits.
The big one is elliptic-curve point addition. That’s the step a quantum computer would run to break the keys behind Bitcoin and most of the internet. Claude found a design with 17x fewer gates than the best one humans had published, using 12% more qubits, it ran for 53 hours with almost no human input.
Second one, a decoder inside Google’s own optimization algorithm. Claude cut the gate count 12x against Google’s construction and got the scratch qubits from 665 down to 19.
Every estimate of when quantum computers become useful, or dangerous, assumes humans design the circuits by hand over years. If an AI does it in a weekend, every one of those timelines gets shorter. Anthropic’s own words: this could bring useful quantum computing “within reach sooner.”
The people on the paper were Harvard’s Mikhail Lukin and Susanne Yelin. Lukin co-founded QuEra.

Abelian is one of five where post-quantum signatures guard user funds by default, live today.
Thanks @0xchainink for tracking this.
🚨 Hash vs Lattice
$QRL went hash. $ALGO went lattice.
$NEAR is adding both 👇
⚪ Hash
→ simplest math, hardest for AI
→ tiny keys, 32 bytes
→ huge sigs, 7,856 bytes
→ fast versions need a year+ of review
⚪ Lattice
→ NIST standard, usable today
→ what the world is adopting
→ AI could weaken it in 2 yrs (vitalik)
→ succinct versions only since 2012 (eli)
• hash: vitalik, drake, eli
• lattice: a16z, layerzero, illia, hoskinson
here's who shipped what 🔽

Abelian joins as a founding contributor, represented by CBO @PQA_Rich, alongside @QuantusNetwork, @quipnetwork, @midnightfdn, @KeystoneWallet, @intmaxIO, @Americanfort_io, @thevault_soft and @hackenclub.
First deliverable: a public definition of quantum readiness, plus open test criteria any team can run against its own implementation.
“A network can call itself ‘quantum-resistant’ today with no shared understanding of which parts of its system the claim covers or what evidence should support it.”
The Quantum Alliance was formed to set that bar.

Shipped a contract on any EVM chain?
Then getting started on Aevum Testnet is mostly configuration.
A little testnet $QDAY and the tools you already use: Remix, Foundry, Hardhat, viem.

A notice for QDay stakers.
QDAY Staking will end on October 15, 2026, 04:00 (UTC).
All staked $QDAY and rewards will be unstaked that day, and stakers can withdraw anytime until December 31, 2026, 04:00 (UTC).
Your assets will not be lost if you don't withdraw manually, but we recommend withdrawing within this window.
Full details and FAQ in the comments.
Super packed contents at the Quantum & Privacy Day by @NEARProtocol and @QuantusNetwork
This is the project to look out for in 2027!
Thanks to everyone who came out for the @flop_labs AMA. The whole session will be posted online shortly.
Calling to action! Try out the Aevum Testnet TODAY 🔥
"Aevum" is Latin for an age — an enduring span of time. In other words - eternity 🪽
This is where the 3 biggest technology trends - AI, Quantum, and Blockchain - intersect 🔀
That’s the direction where the world is heading 🌐
QDay is where things started, and Aevum is where we start testing it for real 👇
It's always good to know there's an option of the "last resort" for Bitcoins.

x402 went from a Coinbase side project to Linux Foundation infrastructure in under a year.
The x402 Foundation now has 40+ members: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Stripe, Google, AWS, Circle, Shopify.
50M+ machine-to-machine transactions processed by mid-2026.
Daily volume on some chains is still just tens of thousands of dollars — early, but the coalition looks like scaffolding for default infrastructure, not a crypto experiment.
The spec for lightning in x402 was merged last night!
github.com/x402-foundation/x…
A busy week of events, met many great people, learned a lot.
The common theme - what else, AI of course!
Why QDay?
That’s easy.
Let me give you some numbers:
1. Automated traffic reached 57.4% of all HTTP traffic in June 2026, surpassing human traffic (42.6%) 18 months earlier than predicted (Source: Cloudflare)
2. U.S. agentic commerce will reach $300 billion to $500 billion by 2030, representing 15% to 25% of total e-commerce (Source: Bain)
3. Since launch in May 2025, agents, via x402 protocol, have settled over $73 million across 176 million transactions, with around 3,900 merchants now accepting payments through the standard. (Source: Coinbase)
4. Stablecoins settled $9 trillion in June 2026, with adjusted volume (for real economic usage) of $1.79 trillion and a market cap of over $310 billion (Source: Visa)
5. Total stablecoin market cap to reach $1.9 trillion by 2030 (Source: Citi)
6. Physical qubits needed to break elliptic-curve cryptography on blockchains from 20 million down to under 500,000, a 97.5% reduction in less than 7 years (Source: Google AI)
7. US President Donald Trump signed 2 Executive Orders in June 2026 mandating federal agencies and government contractors transition high-impact systems to NIST-compliant PQC standards by 2030.
… and many more.
QDay is THE SOLUTION we need for today’s online commerce that is becoming more agent-driven, blockchain-based, and cybersecurity-aware.
And now we’ve taken a big step forward with the Aevum Testnet — the upgraded QDay infrastructure is live.
Try Aevum. Build on it. Break it. Give us feedback.
The next chapter of QDay starts here. ⚡️
The law-makers, despite the differences on the CLARITY Act, did come to their senses on this one. Bravo! 👏👏
