A law passed unnoticed allows borrowers to mobilize their digital assets as collateral. A discreet but symbolic turning point for the integration of cryptos into traditional finance.

There has been a lot of talk about RWAs in the last two years. Among them, real estate ticks all the boxes for a “mainstream” asset: predictable cash flows (rents), a tangible underlying asset, and the possibility to buy fractions rather than a whole property. The promise is simple: turning…

2025 marks a turning point in the quantum race. Japan has unveiled a superconducting computer with 256 qubits, the most powerful ever designed in this format. A few days later, China made a strong move by activating a system surpassing 1,000 qubits. Even better, Beijing announces concrete industrial goals in the coming 18 months. But one event shakes global cybersecurity: a Chinese team has reportedly managed to break RSA encryption using a quantum machine. These advancements render classical cryptographic systems obsolete, including those currently used by blockchains.

Web3 is facing a perfect storm of increasing threats.

In June 2025, the quantum industry reached a historic milestone. Oxford University announced a world record with a quantum gate achieving an error rate of only 0.000015%, or one error every 6.7 million operations. A few days later, IBM unveiled its roadmap to a 200 logical qubit quantum computer, named Starling, expected in 2029. Meanwhile, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated that the quantum computing sector has reached an inflection point, heralding a new technological era. In light of this acceleration, a major question arises: Is Web3 ready for the post-quantum world? The reality is more concerning than it appears.

In May 2025, China achieved a major milestone in cybersecurity by making the first encrypted voice call using quantum technology over more than 1,000 km between Beijing and Hefei. This feat relies on a national quantum key distribution (QKD) network covering 16 metropolitan areas, already protecting 500 government agencies and 380 state-owned enterprises. Meanwhile, China unveiled the Tianyan-504, a superconducting quantum computer with 504 qubits, accessible via the cloud and having logged over 12 million connections from 50 countries. These advancements mark a transition from the experimental stage to operational reality, signaling an acceleration towards "Q-Day", the moment when quantum computers will be able to break classical encryptions.

At 10 years old, David Carvalho wrote his very first computer virus. It didn’t steal passwords, nor did it erase hard drives. It simply displayed a terrifying message on the screen: "You have been infected by Sunday. Your hard drive is being formatted." A prank, certainly, but in retrospect, it heralded something much larger: the emergence of a mind that would later advise NATO on cyber warfare and build what could become the most important security infrastructure of the post-quantum era. This journey, from a curious child in rural Portugal to the CEO of Naoris Protocol, is now recounted in a captivating interview on When Shift Happens. Carvalho reveals his personal evolution, but more importantly, why the trust model on the Internet is fundamentally broken, and how he plans to fix it.
