Definition ∞ A Decentralized Quantum Ledger represents a conceptual future blockchain or distributed ledger technology secured against quantum computing threats. This system would leverage quantum-safe cryptographic primitives to maintain data integrity and transaction security. It aims to combine the distributed nature of blockchain with resistance to advanced computational attacks. The development of such a ledger addresses potential vulnerabilities of current cryptographic methods.
Context ∞ The concept of a Decentralized Quantum Ledger is a subject of ongoing theoretical research and early-stage development within the blockchain and quantum computing communities. The primary discussion revolves around the feasibility and timeline for implementing quantum-safe algorithms into existing or new decentralized networks. This area remains a speculative yet significant long-term consideration for the future security of digital assets.
