Why this matters, before the demo
The trillion-dollar PQC migration.
A single quantum-enabled cyberattack could trigger up to $3.3 trillion in economic damage. Adversaries are intercepting encrypted data today, intending to decrypt it once a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) exists.12
The numbers
Three figures that frame Q-Day.
01 / Damage estimate
A single breach on major banks
Citi Institute models up to $3.3 trillion in damage from one successful quantum breach on the global financial system.1

02 / The timeline
Drag to a year to see what is due
Estimates put a cryptographically relevant quantum computer between 2030 and 2035. Regulators and procurement are already moving.6
2026today
NIST FIPS 203 / 204 / 205 are finalised. Migration windows open across regulated industries.
03 / Where the damage lands
Approximate sector exposure
Approximation derived from Citi's $2.0–$3.3T range and public sector-specific reports. Values illustrate scale, not predictions.15

PQC is not a future project, it is a present one.
NIST published its first PQC standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) in 2024. The migration window for regulated industries closed by NIS2 and DORA timelines runs in parallel. The Business Wallet shows you, in roughly thirteen minutes, how a quantum-resilient identity is issued, verified and exchanged.5
