quantum-threat-index

Quantum Threat Index was built to answer a neglected but increasingly urgent question in crypto infrastructure:

Which assets are most exposed when quantum computing becomes operationally relevant to current cryptographic assumptions?

Most discussions around quantum risk in crypto are broad, speculative, and hard to operationalize. Security teams, researchers, investors, and ecosystem builders need something more actionable than vague warnings. They need a framework.

Quantum Threat Index provides that framework.

It turns quantum risk into a structured score by combining technical and market signals into a single view of exposure. Instead of treating all assets equally, it helps prioritize where future migration pressure, security attention, and ecosystem stress may emerge first.

What it does

The system exposes a set of tools and calculations that make quantum risk easier to inspect and explain:

• get_quantum_threat_index — returns a composite risk score
• get_vulnerable_addresses — highlights classes of exposed Bitcoin addresses and patterns
• simulate_threat_timeline — models how threat pressure changes as quantum capability improves

Why it matters

Quantum security migration in crypto will not be a single event. It will be a gradual but compounding transition shaped by:

• address exposure
• legacy signature patterns
• ecosystem inertia
• market concentration
• coordination speed

That means the winners will be the teams that build visibility early.

Quantum Threat Index is designed to support that visibility.

Intended impact

• help crypto builders think proactively about post-quantum readiness
• give researchers and communities a common risk framework
• improve prioritization for ecosystem migration discussions
• create a foundation for future security dashboards, APIs, and migration planning tools

Key Features

• structured risk scoring
• asset-level and wallet-level exposure framing
• strong narrative fit for crypto infrastructure
• extensible toward APIs, dashboards, and monitoring

Future Improvements

• public dashboard for tracked assets
• REST API for score lookup
• richer address taxonomy
• historical trend tracking
• post-quantum migration recommendation layer
