We talk a lot about projects, tokens, and performance. But rarely about what’s happening underneath.
In recent days, I’ve seen a term coming back that few people were paying attention to before: Falcon.
At first, it may seem very technical. And it is. It’s simply a type of cryptographic signature designed to resist attacks that could exist in the future, particularly with the development of quantum computers.
The interesting point isn’t to say that everything will change tomorrow. We’re clearly not there yet. But rather to see that some teams are already starting to test or integrate this type of solution, even if it remains limited.
The topic has gained a bit of visibility again following a publication from Google Quantum AI.
Nothing alarmist in the tone, but enough to remind us that the issue exists, and that it will probably become important at some point.
What makes me think is the gap.
Between the moment when a technology becomes necessary… and the moment when the market really starts to value it.
Some people wait until everything is clear before taking an interest in it.
Others try to look a little earlier, even if not everything is obvious yet.
I’m not sure there’s a right or wrong approach.
But it inevitably changes the way you position yourself in the market.
