Welcome to Almost Here, Round the Corner of Future Technology Podcasts with Richard Jacobs.

Future Technologies are always to transform our lives for better or worse or the focus of this podcast.

Almost here means these technologies are now here and starting to be used.

We're just around the corner, from Bitcoin to artificial intelligence, 3D printing,

blockchain, virtual reality, and more.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Feature Tech Podcast. I'm your host, Juliet Lamar, and we have

joining us today, Adam Colton, he is the lead business strategist at the Quantum Resistant Ledger.

Welcome, Adam. Thank you for having me. So Adam, why don't you go ahead and give us a little

insight into QRL? Right. So QRL or the Quantum Resistance Ledger sort of does what it says on the tin.

We are developing a blockchain platform that for the quantum resistant ledger, sort of does what it says on the tin.

We are developing a blockchain platform that is resistant to both traditional and quantum computing attacks.

Blockchain technology is obviously a very new and novel technology, and we want to make sure

that it is secure looking forward and not just in the present.

So I guess for people who maybe need a little more insight, why is something like this needed?

You know, how does this come about?

Well, to sort of start broad and then work my way more specifically, you know, encryption

underlies all technology networks, whether it's something like a social media network, your email, literally anything that the network is guarded by some type of encryption to ensure that the data that's being transmitted between users is actually the data they want to transfer and isn't just widely available to anybody with nefarious intent.

You can go back, you know, all the way to the Renaissance,

tracing the sort of back-and-forth cat-and-mouse game of code makers and code breakers.

And quantum computing is simply the next technological iteration of this back and forth.

Now, blockchain technology obviously has a lot of things going for with decentralization.

Individual users, individual node operators have an immense degree of control over their funds
