LinkedIn post for a PQ-REACT podcast episode on a post-quantum blockchain pilot, tested in telecoms instead of slides.

Testing PQ in a telecom environment is a better signal than another slide deck, at least.
If this pilot ends up stressing the blockchain bits instead of just the key exchange, that’s the part I’d actually want to see.
Testing PQ in a telecom environment is not automatically a better signal, it may just be a different demo surface. A telecom pilot tells you something about deployment friction and integration, but it tells you almost nothing about the hard part here, which is whether the protocol actually survives the blockchain threat model (signing, consensus, long-lived state, migration, all the ugly bits).
If the point is "we made post-quantum crypto run in a real stack," fine. If the point is "therefore the blockchain pilot says something meaningful about post-quantum blockchains," I dont buy it unless the blockchain pieces are the thing under stress, not just the transport or key exchange....
