Quantum computing can destroy crypto market.
What's scarier is that our transaction data is being harvested right now.
no one is paying attention because it feels like a future problem.
sat down with @chiragjetani [founder of @diamante_io ]
Since 2018, he's been quietly building the quantum-proof security layer that the entire $2.4 trillion crypto market will eventually depend on.
Long before anyone was paying attention.
Here's everything we got into:
TIMESTAMPS
00:00 — The $2.4 trillion sitting exposed right now
00:16 — "Harvest now, decrypt later" - what it actually means
01:11 — What's already happening in the shadows of the internet
02:43 — Google just moved the quantum threat timeline to 2029
03:07 — Why waiting until 2029 to prepare is already too late
04:47 — What Diamante actually is (explained for a 15-year-old)
05:33 — Why Bitcoin and Ethereum can't simply "upgrade" to quantum-proof
07:41 — The brutal truth: legacy chains would need a full network fork
09:00 — Are your funds safe in a hot or cold wallet right now?
10:11 — "If you're a fish, you're safe. If you're a whale…"
11:03 — How developers can build or migrate onto Diamante today
12:55 — 120,000 TPS - with quantum encryption live on mainnet
13:02 — What's already being built on the ecosystem
14:04 — Quantum-secured VPN - the first viral use case incoming
15:11 — The ferrochrome giant tokenizing $3B in assets on Diamante
16:07 — How Diamante raised from the Abu Dhabi royal family
19:09 — What YOU can actually do today to protect yourself
22:06 — The psychology of building a 10-year vision in a 10-second market
24:00 — Why patient investors are Diamante's secret weapon
28:42 — What the world looks like in 2035 when quantum hits mainstream
33:39 — What the Diamante community will remember when the storm arrives
35:03 — Why Chirag doesn't see quantum security as a competition
37:43 — RAPID FIRE: AI agents - most overrated trend in crypto?
38:10 — The one builder Chirag respects most (the answer will surprise no one)
part that stuck with me most wasn't the tech.
It was when Chirag talked about the moments he almost gave up...
He built through years when "quantum" wasn't even a narrative, let alone a trend.
One of the most grounded conversations I've had on The Based Show.
Attention can kill an early project faster than silence can.
here's the part nobody tells you about marketing
if a million people see an unfinished product, that's a million people who quietly decided "not for me."
and they don't come back to check if you fixed it.
there are no refunds.
reach is a multiplier. that's all it is.
if the product's a "2", reach just makes it a louder 2.
if the thing converting people is broken, reach breaks it in public, at scale.
get your product to where it holds people first.
then play the volume game
What's the dumbest marketing advice you've ever paid for?
I'll go first.
"just go viral."
"buy these 50 KOLs, trust the process."
"post more, the algorithm rewards consistency."
Building can be lonely. No founder should have to go through it alone.
One of the biggest cheat codes in business is surrounding yourself with people who are building, struggling, and growing alongside you.
That’s exactly why we’re launching the Founder Inner Circle Series.
A space where founders, builders, and operators can connect, share lessons, solve challenges, and help each other build the next generation of great companies.
The @solana Superteam network is a cheat code, and we’re committed to helping builders in Thailand leverage it in every possible way.
Proud to see @Solana_TH Superteam Thailand leading this initiative and creating a safe space for ambitious founders to learn from one another and grow together.
If you’re building in Thailand and want a seat at the table, don’t hesitate to reach out!
