Episode description

Post-quantum cryptography is necessary. It is not sufficient.
Dariia explains why the real migration is bigger than ECC to PQC. The next threat is also AI-accelerated mathematical discovery.

This episode breaks down:
Why ECC is not a permanent foundation
Why Dilithium and Falcon are important PQ steps, but still structured computational assumptions

Why SPHINCS+ is more conservative, but still not assumption-free

Why the quantum cost curve against ECC is moving in the wrong direction

Why signature size is not an implementation detail. It is market infrastructure

Why EternaX is building a different path with post-assumption transaction-signing design and market-speed performance

EternaX thesis:
Post-quantum protects you from the computer you expect.
Post-assumption design protects you from the breakthrough you do not expect.

00:00 Post-Quantum Is Not Enough
00:45 The second threat: AI-accelerated math
01:10 Why post-quantum is necessary but not final
01:55 Why AI changes the threat model
02:55 Why Dilithium and Falcon do not end the story
04:10 Why SPHINCS+ is more conservative, but still not final
05:00 The qubit wall is falling
06:10 Why migration is a timeline problem, not a last-minute switch
07:20 What EternaX is doing differently
08:35 Why signature size is not a side detail
09:35 Why stablecoins, RWAs, and market infrastructure should care now
10:35 Myth vs reality
