Quantum risk does not begin the day a powerful quantum computer goes online. It begins much earlier, when the data and systems we build today are expected to remain trusted for years. Imagine a tokenized property deed issued now and still being used in 2040. A company stores encrypted financial records that someone quietly copies today, hoping to decrypt them later. Or an automated supply chain depends on digital signatures that future machines may be able to imitate. In each case, waiting until the threat becomes practical is already too late. Blockchain upgrades take time, and migrating keys, contracts, wallets and business systems during an emergency would be messy. That is why future infrastructure needs quantum-resistant security built in early. Preparing now is not panic. It is simply protecting long-term trust before the deadline becomes real. @dac_chain
