So kind of like the Y2K bug where nothing happened because security measures were already in place.
the crypto world is actively developing and planning for quantum-resistant security (Post-Quantum Cryptography) to be in place before powerful quantum computers can break current systems, with timelines suggesting migration could happen within the next decade or so, well before a truly dangerous quantum machine is expected, though some experts warn the timeline is shrinking. Organizations like NIST are setting standards for quantum-safe algorithms, aiming for a transition by 2035, while crypto projects are exploring upgrades, though the main challenge remains implementing these changes across decentralized networks
