Denver, Colorado, February 17th, 2026 –<\/strong><\/em> Tectonic announced the inaugural Quantum Summit, an ETHDenver 2026 event focused on practical preparation for post-quantum cryptography. The event will take place Feb. 19, 2026, at RISE Comedy in Denver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quantum computing is advancing, putting the cryptography used across much of the internet and many blockchain ecosystems under long-term pressure as the industry moves toward post-quantum cryptography. The transition is not a simple algorithm swap. It is a multidimensional migration effort that touches standards, protocol design, wallet security, identity systems, privacy tooling, operational readiness, and interoperability across ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quantum Summit is designed for developers, cryptographers, and institutional stakeholders seeking practical, implementation-focused discussions on post-quantum cryptography readiness. Programming focuses on post-quantum readiness, cryptographic migration planning, advanced privacy stacks, and decentralized identity in a quantum age. The event is structured to prioritize actionable takeaways and coordination across the systems and teams that must upgrade together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPost-quantum security is no longer theoretical. It is a planning problem,\u201d said Michael Berman, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Tectonic. \u201cQuantum Summit is how we move from abstract risk to concrete readiness. We want builders and institutions aligned on what to do now, what decisions matter, and what migration paths are realistic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ron Kahat, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Tectonic, added: \u201cPost-quantum migration is a multi-dimensional effort; it\u2019s not just replacing algorithms, it\u2019s an operational, strategic, and architectural overhaul. Unity across the industry is our strength; we must engineer the next line of defense that tomorrow demands before quantum threats materialize.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jay Jog, Co-founder of SEI and a confirmed speaker at the Quantum Summit, emphasized the operational challenge ahead. \u201cThe hardest part of moving to PQC isn’t pure cryptography, it’s coordination. It’s making sure that libraries, signing flows, validator operations, and more all upgrade without breaking. As an industry, we need to start taking PQC much more seriously if we want to be prepared.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Security conversations stall when they stay theoretical,\u201d stated Jake Salerno, VP of GTM at Zero Gravity Labs. \u201cThe Quantum Summit is about aligning builders and stakeholders on the practical steps to PQC readiness, including how privacy and verifiable computation can be layered into real systems, and where we need redesign and standards to make it deployable.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Other confirmed speakers include leaders from Tectonic, Espresso, Sei, RadPill, Hashlock, Algorand, Edge Capital, Zero Gravity Labs, Space and Time, OpenMatter, Amazon, Optimum, Canton, Hack VC, and Magenta Labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Quantum Summit is supported by Hack VC, 0g, Halborn, Kite, Polymarket, Sushi, Hexaco, and W3JOE, alongside Tectonic Labs as host. For this edition, BeInCrypto is the main media partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
