Quantum computers are gonna make a lot of today’s encryption look like sticky notes. Verona and Abelian just teamed up to deal with that. Verona and Abelian just linked up, and the angle is pretty straightforward. Verona is the intelligence layer that lets you prove facts about yourself once (who you are, what you earn, etc.) and then reuse that proof with different AI agents without handing over the raw data every time. They’ve now started signing those proofs with ML-DSA, which is one of the post-quantum standards NIST already approved. Abelian has been using lattice-based crypto since their first block in 2022, so they never had to plan a big “migrate everything later” moment. They also let you control how private a transaction is. Put the two together and the idea is: an agent can act on verified facts about you and move value privately, without the whole thing becoming readable the day quantum computers get good enough to break today’s normal encryption. Most of crypto is still talking about going post-quantum. These two are saying they already built for it - Verona on the proof side, Abelian on the money side. Whether that holds up long-term is obviously still TBD, but the framing makes sense if you buy the “harvest now, decrypt later” threat. @verona_dev | @PQabelian
