The traditional cybersecurity family is falling short against increasingly rapid attacks and the growing threat of quantum computing. Hacks like that of Balancer —where $128 million was lost due to a tiny error— show how a small crack can empty an entire protocol.
In response, a new economy emerges where security becomes a negotiable asset, and security tokens appear as a class of deflationary assets backed by real income. Several blockchains and companies are already working on quantum-resistant technologies, from QRL to Algorand and Trezor, while projects like Naoris Protocol attempt to turn security into an incentive system.
Regulation is also pushing hard: the U.S., NIST, and NATO require a migration to post-quantum cryptography, creating a huge market. In this new scenario, whoever manages to offer scalable, quantum, and economically sustainable security could dominate a sector valued at over $345 billion.
In summary: the digital world is changing its armor, and the next battle will be between chains that can protect trust in a future governed by quantum threats and tokenized economies.
