Quantum Threats to Blockchain with Yoon Auh | DWeb Decoded

Michael Madoff, Head of Governance at Filecoin Foundation, joins DWeb Decoded to discuss the evolution of Filecoin governance. Drawing on his experience building Cardano’s liquid democracy model, he unpacks Filecoin’s Constellation Program, its three-pillar framework (economic, operational, protocol), and the importance of balancing participation with efficient decision-making.

In this episode of DWeb Decoded, Molly Mackinlay, CEO of FilOz, unpacks the major milestone launch of Filecoin Onchain Cloud — a programmable smart contract layer that unlocks real-time payments, composable services, and seamless developer experience.

Stefaan from Akave joins DWeb Decoded to discuss the launch of the Filecoin Onchain Cloud and why verifiable, decentralized storage is more relevant than ever. As centralized services experience outages and AI adoption grows, enterprises are reassessing trust, sovereignty, and data ownership.

In this episode of DWeb Decoded, Rod Vagg, Engineering Lead at FiloZ, joins us to discuss the evolution and impact of Filecoin Onchain Cloud. From the early days of IPFS to today’s full-stack decentralized storage solution, Rod shares how developers can now build real-time, persistent apps without relying on centralized providers.He also highlights Filecoin Pin, a new tool demonstrating what’s possible with the unchained stack, and reflects on the role of community, collaboration, and innovation within the Filecoin ecosystem.

On this special launch day episode of DWeb Decoded, we speak with Eunice Giarta, Co-Founder/GM at Monad Foundation. We dive into the importance of decentralized infrastructure, building resilient systems for AI, and how Monad is helping startups connect to Filecoin services.

In Part 2 of our conversation with Yoon Auh, founder of Bolts Technologies, we dig into the practical, technical, and economic implications of post-quantum cryptography on blockchain systems. From block size constraints to validator incentives, to per-transaction flexibility with QFlex, Yoon lays out how blockchain systems can (and must) evolve to prepare for a post-quantum future.

How vulnerable is blockchain to quantum computing? In this episode of DWeb Decoded, Yoon Auh, CEO and founder of BOLTS Technologies, breaks down the cryptographic foundations of modern blockchains—and why they may not stand up to the coming wave of quantum computing.

DIMO co-founder Alex Rawitz joins DWeb Decoded to break down how vehicle data is underutilized — and how DIMO’s decentralized infrastructure is unlocking it. From connected cars to smart cities and AI agents, learn how blockchain is reshaping the automotive data economy.

Lighthouse CEO Nandit Mehra joins DWeb Decoded to discuss how the platform has evolved over the past year — from programmable storage to encrypted, retrievable, tokenized data. Learn how Lighthouse is enabling permanent storage on Filecoin, the rise of AI agents with Eternal AI, and the launch of the new platform 1mb.io for monetizing data through “data coins.”

Marcus Levin, founder of XYO, joins DWeb Decoded to share how his team built a decentralized, geospatial data network with 10M+ active nodes—largely from non-crypto users. From proof-of-location to crowdsourced real-world data, Marcus breaks down how XYO evolved from a blockchain idea into a sustainable DePIN success story.
