why every chain is on a clock
Every blockchain signs with ECDSA. Every ECDSA key is one shor's-algorithm away from being recovered. So every chain — every wallet, every bridge, every contract — is on a clock, and the clock ends when a quantum computer is big enough.
Nobody knows the exact date. What's certain is the direction: qubit counts are climbing, error correction is real, and the algorithms that break ECDSA are already written and tested on small numbers.
today: ECDSA — safe, for now soon: ECDSA — broken by shor always: lattice — no known quantum attack
the migration is the product
This isn't a new feature. It's the single most important upgrade in the history of crypto — moving every signature from a system a quantum computer can break to one it can't. Lattice is that upgrade, packaged as a layer.
