The accelerating quantum advancement and cryptography research with AI means the following:
1) Longer-term, software is going to be highly secure and nearly unbreakable. Code will be written by specifications that can be formally verified.
2) Short-to-mid term, weaker software and math will break.
3) Crypto agility (e.g., the ability to rotate to quantum-safe cryptography easily) is necessary for serious financial infrastructure.
4) Decentralized infrastructure must be fast reacting to new and unexpected threats. A payments and/or trading network being offline for days is unacceptable.
