In the cryptocurrency industry, there is always demand for safe and secure wallet solutions. EnQlave positions itself as the “quantum safe for crypto assets”, but it remains to be seen if they can live up to those expectations. Crypto and blockchain enthusiasts are concerned about the era of quantum computing. EnQlave Aims to be Quantum-proof It is widely considered that quantum hardware will effectively break current protocols with relative ease. To ensure that is not a problem, solutions need to be found well ahead of time. For the enQlave team, that solution comes in the form as a standalone post-quantum
