  The country that achieves quantum supremacy first will rule the world. All the passwords, all the encryption are now gone. You have gained supremacy. In other words, the other side has lost sovereignty.

• 0:14Speaker 01

  What is NARIS Protocol?

• 0:16Speaker 00

  Our focus is very much on infrastructure, infrastructure trust, resiliency and security. NARIS Protocol is a decentralized, post-quantum validated system. We turn every device into a security validator. There's actually a million devices that you need to break in order to break our distributed proof-of-security consensus. And we extend this into blockchain. Bitcoin is using cryptography from the 80s. Every current encrypted data using current means that are not quantum resilient. It's a breach waiting to happen in the future.

• 0:46Speaker 01

  You have all of these NATO generals as advisors. And I can start to see how serious this problem is.

• 0:53Speaker 00

  These topics are conversations at world level that are extremely strategic.

• 0:57Speaker 01

  Will quantum computers make AI research go faster?

• 1:01Speaker 00

  It's going to be a revolution within a revolution. You can potentially have a singularity there.

• 1:08Speaker 01

  David, what's next?

• 1:09Speaker 00

  I see a world where people are aware of the risk to themselves. Countries are taking actionable steps towards their own safety, their own protection. And all of that, I see it backed by a NARIS Protocol-based technology. This is the only future.

• 1:36Speaker 01

  The world is changing.

• 1:39Speaker 01

  Inspiration is everywhere.

• 1:45Speaker 01

  It has never been so easy to connect, share, and bring people together.

• 1:51Speaker 01

  We're learning from others and finding the best in ourselves.

• 1:59Speaker 01

  Challenging our beliefs.

• 2:03Speaker 01

  Sharing our vulnerability.

• 2:07Speaker 01

  Overcoming our fears.

• 2:12Speaker 01

  Transforming ourselves so we can transform the world.

• 3:16Speaker 02

  I know investing crypto can be scary, that's why you gotta join the investment club. Pull the trigger, let's do this.

• 3:28Speaker 01

  This is London Real, I am Brian Rose, my guest today is David Carvalho, the cybersecurity pioneer, ethical hacker, and deep tech innovator. You have over two decades of experience defending critical systems across governments, defense, finance, and infrastructure, and have advised NATO-aligned initiatives, national security programs, and Fortune 500 companies on cyber warfare, AI integrity, and digital sovereignty. You are the founder, CEO, and chief scientist of NARIS Protocol, the world's first decentralized, post-quantum, secure cybersecurity mesh, and you are laying the foundation for a new era of digital trust. Your protocol transforms every device into a validator of security, enabling swarm-based

• 4:13Speaker 01

  AI and real-time verification at global scale. Today, you're not just introducing a new blockchain, you're building the security backbone for the next generation. of smart cities, national infrastructure and AI systems. And your soon to be issued Naras utility token will power the first truly scalable real world cyber mesh. David, welcome to London Real.

• 4:38Speaker 00

  My pleasure, Ryan. Thank you.

• 4:40Speaker 01

  Hey, I want to start by saying that Naras Protocol is one of our portfolio companies here at London Real Ventures, the world's first media powered investment firm, where our mission is to transform the world by investing in cutting edge web three and AI companies while giving our partners marketing exposure across the London Real Media Platforms and Academies. We heighten awareness, create customers and build communities by leveraging our global audience and extensive network. David, we are super excited to be part of this journey with you. So let's jump in. What is Naras Protocol?

• 5:11Speaker 00

  Yeah, thanks for the question. So Naras Protocol is the world's first hyperstructure of web three. So the internet is a collection of different protocols. Web three right now is a collection of protocols that do the same thing. What we believe that the internet is going to transform. And you're going to have different protocols that actually apply to different use cases. And our focus is very much on infrastructure, infrastructure trust, resiliency and security. So Naras Protocol is, as its core, a decentralized, post quantum validated system that allows for every application, every system in the world to prove that it is on a trusted state as it operates

• 5:57Speaker 00

  under post quantum fingerprints validated by all the other devices. So the more devices that participate, the more resilient it gets exponentially, which is pretty much the opposite of how it works right now in the world, where every device is a single point of failure. And we extend this both to infrastructure, what we call sub zero layer and also, so that means the real world, every device becomes decentralized. And also into blockchain through validation at post quantum level of transactions and making them resilient to Q day into the future.

• 6:30Speaker 01

  You know, David, you keep saying this term post quantum. And we've all heard that one day quantum computers are going to break all of our security from our passwords on websites to all the cryptography that keeps our Bitcoin safe and our Ethereum safe. You know, every week we seem to hear that, you know, Google is coming up with a new quantum computer, and then we hear maybe the Chinese have one, and then some people say it's not happening for 10 years, and some people said it's 10 months away. What can you tell us about the quantum computer threat? How real is it? And, correct me if I'm wrong, but you're trying to build a solution to where that's not going to be an issue for a lot of these things.

• 7:12Speaker 00

  Exactly. So, you know, looking forward into the future, we need to be future-ready. Yes, quantum computers are real, they're a real thing, and there's constant breakthroughs, even on our weekly devices. It is an engineering problem, so if you throw enough people at it and enough money at it, just like, for example, China is doing, you're going to crack it, just like it was hard when we put them out on the moon, but it was an engineering problem, right? So, right now, that is, I would say, probably the biggest threat to stability and cybersecurity as we know it. Brian, we are witnessing the end of cybersecurity as we know it right now, slowly. Quantum is going to come to all cryptography that

• 7:56Speaker 00

  backs the world, it doesn't matter if it's, you know, nuclear secrets or blockchain, like the meteor has come for the dinosaurs. And it is our opportunity to actually become quantum resilient right now, because there are massive operations in place right now to actually do what's called harvest now, decrypt later. So, the data is being harvested, kept in cold storage by governments, by other entities, and this is encrypted data. So, every current encrypted data, we're using current means that are not quantum resilient, it's a breach waiting to happen in the future. So, we need to make it post-quantum, or quantum resilient, or quantum safe, which is the same thing right now, so that we can protect our future.

• 8:42Speaker 01

  Wow, okay, so there's, there's kind of like, you know, some type of a web crawler right now that's crawling all of the current security and encryption and it's kind of saving all that information. So at some point in the future, when the quantum computer comes, it can crack it immediately. Is that, is that what you're saying?

• 8:59Speaker 00

  That's, that's exactly right. That's exactly right. And right now, every digital system in the world is one door for hackers to break, is a single point of failure to all the systems that are connected to it, right? And that's true for hardware, for software applications, it doesn't matter, right? Now, that's nobody's fault. It's just how the internet was done or made. However, as the world expands and we get to 50 billion IoT devices, et cetera, et cetera, that just becomes impossible to manage. And the more complexity you have, the more risk you have. So this is pretty much a mind-blowing stat, but a breach happens at every 11 seconds. And it happens because of central dissection.

• 9:42Speaker 00

  It happens because of the single point of failure, right? So we turn every device into a security validator. So imagine if we have, for example, a million nodes, which we have right now, there's actually a million devices that you need to break in order to break our distributed proof of security consensus, in order for you to attack a single one. And so this is how we see the future. This is what actually got us working with a number of former NATO leaders, under very highly resilient environments and objectives into the future. And post-quantum backbones for this was non-negotiable. So these environments are strategic in nature. And for them, bringing blockchain together with post-quantum capability

• 10:26Speaker 00

  in the most mature areas in AI and cybersecurity is just the only way for us to actually be able to have a trustable and resilient future.

• 10:37Speaker 01

  You know, one of the things that really impressed us when we spoke to you originally, before we invested, was you have all of these NATO generals as advisors. Now, we've been investing for about four years, David, but I've never, ever had a pitch where you have not just one, but a whole lineup of NATO generals, and I was a bit shocked. But also, I was impressed, and I could start to see how serious this problem is. It's not just about protecting your password on Google, or even protecting your Bitcoin. It's really about like global national security, and it's something the military, correct me if I'm wrong, has been thinking about probably for the last 10 years. Can you talk about, you know, your alliance with those generals, why it's important,

• 11:21Speaker 01

  and maybe why they've been thinking about this before the rest of us?

• 11:25Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's absolutely right. So, yes, it is, so, in such environments, so environments related to defense and the national security, critical infrastructure, GovTech, highly critical environments like that, also highly regulated spaces, I would include, for example, banking and, you know, trading floors, etc. These topics are board-level topics, so there are conversations at board level that are extremely strategic. And then, there are other environments that are responsible for, you know, the survivability of society, namely, defense, right?

• 12:06Speaker 00

  So, such environments are quite aware of the risk for society. So, if there is a quantum attack, for example, against the power grid, say, in the United States, that would lead to, you know, potentially 60% of the people in big cities dying after a short amount of time because everything stops, right? It's incredible what happens when everything stops. I was actually on a flight from, in Europe, from Norway to Portugal, when there was a big blackout recently in the Iberian Peninsula, and for about two days, there was no power. And it was pretty much similar to a zombie apocalypse. You know, there is, nobody knows what to do, nothing works, the phones don't work,

• 12:51Speaker 00

  you can't call an Uber, everybody's stuck, the trains don't move, you can't call your loved ones, you don't know if people are flying, or if their planes landed in a place or in another place, so on and so forth. It's very disturbing, there's no water in the faucet, right? So a quantum level attack allows for a level of supremacy and access that is completely it's something that nobody has ever seen, right? But it's something that that people in that space are quite aware, right? So I'm going to give you a quote, but the country that achieves quantum supremacy first will rule the world. This is a quote by Vladimir Putin.

• 13:31Speaker 00

  And there are similar quotes on both sides of the Atlantic. And the focus on such technologies is such that, for example, the Chinese government has been investing more in quantum technology than they have invested, for example, the last years in their nuclear program. And that tells you how strategic these technologies for supremacy. Because once you have access to quantum supremacy, all the passwords, all the encryption, all the things that will actually that are protecting things that matter or that should be secret are now gone. You have gained supremacy. In other words, the other side has lost sovereignty.

• 14:14Speaker 00

  So this is how important it is to actually mitigate this risk, because it is a survivability risk. And these environments live under the umbrella of strategy, and there's nothing more strategic in our lifetimes than actually mitigating for a complete collapse of authenticated access, which is what quantum will allow for.

• 14:35Speaker 01

  In some ways, David, is quantum or the race for quantum more important than the race for AI?

• 14:43Speaker 00

  Yes. Yes, it's much bigger than that. It's much bigger than AI. AI just happens to be the shiny object right now, because there is a lot of like, you know, connection that you can have with it, right? Even though it's fake, it's not a real thing. But AI can actually run on top of quantum, and quantum will unlock different levels of AI, even potentially, you know, other levels of AI supremacy. And AI will lead, I am sure, the quantum threat. So if you have Access to, you know, good AI capabilities from a, an offensive perspective. And you are also backed by quantum computing capabilities. In a way that can break, you know, any secrets that are on the other side.

• 15:29Speaker 00

  You pretty much become unstoppable and that would be the biggest upset to global order that we would have in our lifetimes. Or maybe ever.

• 15:38Speaker 01

  Yeah, cuz it's, it's like if one nation got a slightly better AI, you can see that they have an advantage. But if one nation has quantum, it, like you said, it's almost like they can break everything and blow everybody away.

• 15:51Speaker 00

  That's right. So the, the, the vision for Nowish for a call initially was to take away the single point of failure. From existing environments. So the more complex it gets, the easier it is to get into because there's more entry points. Right? It's the centralization issue. Um, so by decentralizing the approach, you actually add resiliency. But the post quantum part of it actually allows for the, um, for you to prove that whatever you're seeing on your screen, for example, about a remote system is actually true. Right? And it also allows you to prove that your data is in a trusted state and your systems are in a trusted state. Because if something happens to them, because there's a, you know, um, something gets exploited or there's a malicious access.

• 16:36Speaker 00

  You probably would never know. Um, and there would be probably an infinity of ways to stop you from knowing. Because everything is a point of failure and there's nobody watching the watchers. So the whole blockchain ecosystem, um, you know, pretty simple, let's say your backbone. Um, backed by, you know, a, a, a quantum validation sphere allows you to know that what you're seeing is actually true. Because the proof is at quantum level. So it's, it's resilient to attackers tampering with it and telling you that there's nothing to see here. Right? Because that's the first thing that happens in an attack after persistence. Uh, you know, the attacker stays there and starts changing what appears to be reality. And you cannot trust anything that you can see in any system anymore.

• 17:21Speaker 00

  And that's true, even when you, for example, talk to people that participate in, for example, NATO cyber war games and things like that. The biggest issue they have is actually not defense. The biggest issue they have is truth. What is actually real, right? And there's this quote, you know, when a conflict starts, the first thing that dies is truth.

• 17:41Speaker 01

  Yeah. It's fascinating because we've seen that recently with conflicts around the world, right? There's the version of what happened, then there's what really happened, and we really don't know. And sometimes the story of what happened is more important than what actually happened. And sometimes we're never going to find out what actually happened. And yeah, I guess truth is the first casualty of war, or something like that. It's interesting that you mentioned decentralization, because a lot of people go into the blockchain for different reasons. Maybe they want the public ledger, maybe they want the immutability. But it sounds like the decentralized nature of blockchain is the very reason that Naoris is built on that, because you need to not have that single point of failure.

• 18:23Speaker 01

  Can you speak a little more on why you've been building on the blockchain for so long?

• 18:28Speaker 00

  Right, so blockchain is moving beyond

• 18:37Speaker 00

  to transform, you know, business part-time value comes from utility, not from speculation. And right now, the environment that we have in Web3 is generally speculative. There is a big transition, I believe, right now in this cycle towards, you know, real-world use cases and use cases that don't just fit within the bubble of blockchain. So in our case, one of the biggest mandates that we had from former NATO leaders was actually to create a blockchain backbone that could be used, you know, between nation-states, you know, that would increase the resiliency of interoperable systems. So for example, if a country gets, you know, a system in a country gets hijacked

• 19:21Speaker 00

  and, say, a smart city environment, like for example, a water treatment plant gets the wrong mixture, it can lead to deaths, could be a terrorist attack, for example. Normally, you know, there would be no kind of like immune system present. So for example, another country, say, if this happened in Italy, in Ireland, there would be no capability to deal with this instantly. There would be probably kind of like some research about this, and maybe six months after the attack was done, there would be done some kind of post-mortem analysis, and then maybe Be some upgrades across the board. But if all these systems are actually connected under a decentralized cyber physical resilience mesh, which is what Norwich Protocol creates, automatically that intelligence about the risk

• 20:05Speaker 00

  and what's happening, pretty much in a live setting, is going to enable another city, for example, in a different country that is not even connected to the same network, but it is connected to the chain, to be instantly protected against this sort of threat and hardened, right? So it's a completely different way of how you think about risk.

• 20:27Speaker 03

  What the London Real Investment Club actually does for you, it gives you the keys to open that door to the inside. Deals in the last three weeks, I've participated in three incredible deals. A layer two Bitcoin protocol, an incredible AI protocol. The deal flow is beyond what I expected. I don't think I've ever seen a model like this that just gives average folks the opportunity to be behind the deals. And that's exactly what we've done. Not only that, you get to hang out with Brian Rose every week. And for me, that was huge because I look at Brian as somebody who's not only an expert in the space and I think is on the leading edge, but just the leading edge of thought with London Real and the work he's doing there. To anyone who's taking a serious look at this, I know it's a big decision. It was a big decision for me and my family,

• 21:12Speaker 03

  and it is one of the best decisions I've ever made. So I wish you all the best and hope you come join us.

• 21:23Speaker 00

  Another example would be that is actually possible because of blockchain and decentralization and that allows for real world problems to be solved, is say, for example, if you're a bank and you have, say, 40 million clients, they are both your biggest source of wealth and they're also your biggest source of risk because people are clicking on malicious links, maybe putting their credentials on websites. And under Norwich Protocol, all those people can actually be an army that are not just defending the bank, but are defending each other from their pockets, right? And if one of the applications on your phone is tampered with, then the bank and the Other people are not going to agree under the consensus that we have created decentralized proof security.

• 22:07Speaker 00

  That we have created under the leadership of former NATO leaders. That that they're not going to agree that that is in a trusted state, therefore you will not be able to make a transaction. So it opens, uh, if you, if you think about this extremely powerful principle. It opens a whole new avenue of utility and use cases. For blockchain backed validations, uh, that don't just get limited by, you know, making transactions of cryptocurrency. Or signing a smart contract. It will be actually about validating that systems, applications, data processes, data streams. Are actually in the trusted state as they operate, the same thing for AIs and AI models. Say, for example, right now, talking very simply about, for example, OpenAI.

• 22:52Speaker 00

  If you go to chat G P D and ask a question. You have no idea that the answer you're getting is actually to the question you asked. You don't know if that was changed in transit or modified. You don't know if your question actually got to the server in the same way, you don't know if the answer was modified before you got it. You don't know if the model is in a trusted state or not when you operate it, you don't know if it has been tempered with or if it has been hacked. You don't know if the source of data has been tempered by an external government, government to change your opinion. You don't know if it's coming from a trusted service from in a trusted server. And if the data has been changed in transit, right? You don't know if the model was in a trusted state as it trained. So these are all immense challenges that actually countries just aligned with our, you know, our advisors, as you said, and also team members.

• 23:36Speaker 00

  That are, you know, uh, nation state leaders and, and defense leaders are very aware. The objective to generate trust is probably the most important area. And web three, in my view, needs to be the backbone of infrastructure. Trust is at the baseline of this, um, uh, in, in general, for all sorts of use cases in society, right? Um, so yeah, uh, that is, uh, twenty thirty, uh, objectives that most countries have.

• 24:06Speaker 00

  And all of them include advanced objectives like, you know, quantum cryptography or post-quantum cryptography and in assurance and security, decentralized security, trusted or sovereign AI systems, et cetera. I'm not sure if you're aware, but Nvidia just last week announced that they were going to pivot from actually making chips in order to start operating in the sovereign and trusted AI space. So that is something that is very, very, very close to us and that we're working very, very closely with countries and that we have the capability to do. And that's, that's one of the byproducts of, of knowledge protocol utility

• 24:48Speaker 00

  to create this kind of like, you know, unhackable, always-on infrastructure.

• 24:55Speaker 01

  It's fascinating that Nvidia decided to pivot. And I'm guessing, and tell me if I'm wrong, David, it's because they see what you've just talked about, this proof of security as just as important or maybe more important than the hardware itself. Because you could have the fastest hardware, the greatest AI, but if you can't trust it, then it's not only worthless, it's actually dangerous.

• 25:21Speaker 00

  Yeah, you're right. You can have all the data in the world. You can have the best hardware in the world. But if you can't trust the source and there's no way for you to prove that you can't trust the source and the data itself, then you're probably not going to be making good decisions and you're probably going to be manipulated, right? So that's one of the big parts of sovereignty around the, around the, you know, quantum resilience, right? That's where, that is an opportunity that appears that wasn't there to actually tamper with all that is supposed to be real. And as you know, we get most of our information in first, second, or third hand through our mobile devices, be it laptops or phones or et cetera.

• 26:05Speaker 00

  So reality is what we receive is not necessarily what is sent or created. Now, we are creating a way to prove that actually reality was created in a trusted place by a trusted party and it's received in a trusted way. And this changes everything.

• 26:22Speaker 01

  And you call this depot sex? This decentralized proof of security, that's one of your creations, is that right?

• 26:30Speaker 00

  That's correct. So, Deposac is the decentralized proof of security consensus mechanism that's backed by post-quantum fingerprints and post-quantum transactions on-chain. It's all about you having trust over the truth that you're looking at.

• 26:46Speaker 00

  And the, I would say, it doesn't matter how many times I talk about such topics with people that are in these, you know, highly critical spaces. This is the only future, like decentralized security is the only viable future. Otherwise, we're just going to continue to have more and more risk and more and more complexity. That's just going to become more and more expensive and lead to more and more risks and more opportunities for entry points, etc. So, the need for decentralized security is so obvious. It's like asking if we need the internet back in 1990.

• 27:28Speaker 00

  It's not an option, it's evolution, just like quantum cryptography and post-quantum and the quantum supremacy is inevitable, right? It's like death, it's going to happen, so we just need to be ready for it.

• 27:43Speaker 01

  Wow. You've used this term like cybersecurity mesh. I've never really heard that term used before. What does that mean?

• 27:52Speaker 00

  So, cybersecurity mesh or decentralized cybersecurity mesh is a technology that we have created, so it's a term that we have coined. It's what happens when you connect a lot of sovereign systems that are in a provenly trusted state. And that can include blockchain validators, right? Because right now, none of them are in a trusted state. Unfortunately, the only thing they need to operate is to have some tokens and be online, which is something that needs to be upgraded in general in Web3, and that is going to become a risk for everything, from Bitcoin to any other crypto.

• 28:34Speaker 00

  Resiliency of these spaces needs to be increased from the infrastructure level all the way to transaction level for various reasons. But this is also transversally through across the world. So we have created Deposec as one of the fundamental technologies aligned with other technologies that we have created like decentralized identity validation authority like Diva, that's called Diva, where we can actually identify uniquely each system and prove they are who they say they are at Web3 level using the blockchain, not using any means that will allow for them to be attacked or tampered with, like for example, you know IPs or MAC addresses or emails for phones, etc.

• 29:17Speaker 00

  So the objective is to create an anonymous and diagnostic mesh that the more it grows, the more trustworthy it becomes and the more resilient it becomes from a perspective of tampering. So it's pretty much the opposite of how the internet has been set up. So we look at this as the first protocol of Web3 for the real world. So something that, you know, when you have tens of millions of devices connected and as humanity expands and goes into the moon into Mars and in other areas of space, all these systems are actually connected in a mesh.

• 29:58Speaker 00

  It doesn't really matter if they are on Earth or in space, they're all protecting each other and they are not points of failure anymore. And that will allow us to achieve our bigger objectives. Otherwise, we're just, you know, busy trying to manage this.

• 30:12Speaker 01

  Okay. You know, Michael Saylor has been asked about the quantum threat to Bitcoin. And because he owns a lot of it, right, 600,000 plus Bitcoin. And he said that in the future, they'll, that the chain will just upgrade when that solution exists. And I'm wondering if he's already thinking about something like Nara's Protocol that can upgrade Bitcoin, because he's literally said that. He said, well, when that problem comes, we'll find the solution and bake that into the way.

• 30:42Speaker 00

  That Bitcoin works. Is he already talking to you guys? No, not yet, but I've actually written about that. I believe in Forbes and other environments exactly about that comment. Bitcoin is technology that is using cryptography from the 80s. And how can I say, if we don't, if we think exactly like that,

• 31:09Speaker 00

  and expect some, you know, magical change to happen, then we're just slowly moving into obsolescence.

• 31:18Speaker 00

  So, right now, I would say the most important point would be to find ways that don't need a hard fork towards Bitcoin, because that would be very hard. All the transactions since the beginning would have to be remade. All the wallets would have to be remade, because the cryptography is not compatible. Post quantum cryptography and traditional cryptography or elliptic curve based cryptography are not compatible technologies. So, the ideal approach is to find a way to solve, for example, transaction based issues. Where, for example, a quantum attack against an already signed hash that is being broadcasted in the network that's public can lead to the breaking of the double spend

• 32:01Speaker 00

  guarantees that blockchain provides and the immutability as well. In changing, for example, the amount of the transaction or the destination in a way that bypasses consensus mechanisms, which are really the, you know, the backbone of blockchains right now. So, these are risks that I've actually written extensively about and also other researchers have. And it is a survivability risk. As I mentioned before, quantum is coming to Bitcoin and all cryptography in the world. It doesn't matter if it's in the healthcare context, or in government context, or in crypto context. Like the meteor has come for the dinosaurs. And it is our opportunity now. Actually, do something about it, become quantum resilient now.

• 32:45Speaker 00

  So that we can be resilient to this as soon as that happens or already resilient. Once one Q day happens, that's already too late. You're already lost. You cannot go back, right? So just like if you are, say, in an airplane and somebody would tell you, oh, there's 5% probability that this parachute is not going to open if you jump. Well, yeah, it's 5%, but you're gonna jump? No, you're not. So that is the situation we're in right now. And these 5% are increasing every week, I would say.

• 33:19Speaker 01

  How close do you think we are, David, to that quantum computer that can start to break basic levels of cryptography?

• 33:28Speaker 00

  Well, through Norwich Pro Call, we have access to a number of agencies. I cannot discuss exactly, but let's just say that there is a very big awareness that in certain regions of the world, there's constant breakthroughs towards that Q day. But that's actually not the focus in their case. I can give you some examples. For example, in the US, there has been a government mandate for all businesses to be quantum resilient by 2028. However, that's what's said publicly. In reality, they understand the risk is a lot closer than that, but in private.

• 34:13Speaker 00

  However, the biggest risk is not necessarily when a quantum supremacy event is going to happen, because if that happens, there is a high probability that the threat actor will go undetected for the longest time and things just look like normal hacks, right? And they will never reveal that they actually have that capability, because that's their biggest advantage. And they will just keep hoarding and hoarding data and intellectual property and so on, right? So that might not happen for like, for example, a year while that actually already happened. So that's like a global rug pull on anything that actually matters, right? And that will be too late already. I would say the biggest risk that everybody is aware of is what's called the harvest, now the crypt later problem.

• 34:56Speaker 00

  So as every transaction that you make, every time you expose your keys to the internet, that's that's where there are an encrypted state that is vulnerable to quantum computers. This is being harvested. And this is being harvested for all sorts of use cases, not just on blockchain for, you know, cyber espionage use cases, cyber terrorism use cases and many other things. And once that's harvested, it's in cold storage somewhere and there's nothing you can do about it. It's just waiting to be decrypted. So it's a little bit like, you know, when you have in the Terminator movie, the T800 going back in time. So Schfarstagger going back in time to protect the future.

• 35:37Speaker 00

  In order for you to protect your future, you need to be post resilient now, post quantum resilient now. Right? That is the, that is the thing that is in everybody's mind at the moment. And that, you know, CEOs of Google, you know, NSA, so on and so forth, have been speaking about very heavily in the last year.

• 35:57Speaker 01

  Yeah, you're basically creating attack vectors every single day because you're not post quantum compliant. And even though it's not here yet, you're basically, yeah, leaving yourself open, right? With these, with these data points that it can come back and attack later. It's heavy stuff. Quickly, David, how do you explain quantum computing to your grandma? Or how do you explain it to a seven year old? When people say, okay, yeah, but I don't understand what it, what is it? And maybe they don't need to understand exactly what it is, but how do you try to explain it to people? Because I think most people don't really get it.

• 36:30Speaker 00

  Right, so that normally starts by explaining what's the difference between traditional encryption? And in what happens, why it's so resilient and why quantum computers can break it? So I'll give you an example. Let's say that you have eggs that have died, right? And you want to make an omelet. And let's say Have two hundred fifty six eggs and they all have different colors, right? And you choose, um, you know, six eggs and you make an omelet, right? Um, once you make an omelet, you'll probably end up with a color that's some kind of like brown or something. And uh, it's really hard for you to say which eggs went into into the omelet.

• 37:14Speaker 00

  Right, um, to make that specific color. Um, so you'd have to try all possible colors. And you would have to to try all possible uh, uh, options. And that's really what happens right now with cryptography. So computers, they work in a sequential manner. So they try one, they give it one try, they give it another try, another try, and until they eventually get to the to the, to the, for example, the right password, right? So the password in this case would be the right sequence of eggs. With quantum computers, that's not an issue. So if you have, for say, for example, plan fifty six qubits, you could actually, uh, you know, uh, reverse engineer all omelets at the same time, uh, uh, uh, for, for all these cases, so for all colors.

• 37:59Speaker 00

  So you, you wouldn't have to, to, to, to do all the tries that traditionally you would have to do. So that's why with the quantum computer, you can actually achieve calculations. Uh, that would take, for example, a septillion years with all the computing power on earth uh, to achieve. Uh, because quantum computers can operate, uh, can do operations in parallel. While traditional computers can only do operations in sequence. So what you're doing is you're having a much bigger computational capability that is really good at calculating. So it's like a giant calculator, you're not going to be running Need for Speed or Outlook in any quantum computer anytime soon. But they are really good at making calculations and unfortunately,

• 38:43Speaker 00

  all the cryptography we have created until now is extremely vulnerable to that. However, quantum resilient cryptography, uh, or quantum safe or post quantum cryptography is, uh, done in a way that the mathematics are actually very hard for quantum computers to deal with.

• 39:00Speaker 01

  Okay. And will, will quantum computers make, um, AI research go faster or is that a different type of computing?

• 39:12Speaker 00

  Um, so there's certain. Of AI and computation that Quantum can help with for now. Um, and I think we'll see more and more of this. Uh, um, that will accelerate massively. Certain areas of AI, for example, number crunching. Think about, for example, molecular biology, drug discovery. Uh, and the same thing around pathogen discovery and, and, and the other side of the coin. Uh, because every technology has dual use. Um, so yes, it, it, it's, it's going to be a revolution within a revolution. So Quantum is going to, uh, supercharge AI.

• 39:53Speaker 00

  Uh, to a point where, well, it is already very hard to manage and you don't really know what's happening within it. But to a point where you, you can potentially have a, a, a singularity then. And that kind of scares me quite a bit, uh, because there is absolutely no trust around AI. There is no trust of AI systems. We are very focused in helping create that. Um, um, but, uh, you actually cannot right now, uh, really know why AI gives you a certain answer. Uh, or another answer. Um, so that is just going to become a lot more complex and it will allow for, uh, AI.

• 40:34Speaker 04

  How do you get out of a rat race? How do you create wealth not only for yourself, but also for the generations to come after? I am absolutely amazed with the quality of companies that we're getting exposure to.

• 40:45Speaker 05

  We go on to Zoom calls with the innovators and the folks who are building new applications in metaverse, blockchain, artificial intelligence, decentralized finance.

• 40:55Speaker 01

  What's going on everybody? Thumbs up if you can see me.

• 40:58Speaker 02

  We are focusing on early stage investment.

• 41:03Speaker 04

  And the quality of people that we're getting exposure to, whether it be Dan Tapia with 1RT, Jason Ma from Open, Ayatsu from Anamoka. This has been a phenomenal experience thus far. It has far exceeded my expectations.

• 41:15Speaker 02

  We are focusing on cutting edge technologies. I view it now as the best investment I have ever made.

• 41:22Speaker 04

  The upside, I view, is unlimited. And as a retail investor, I would never get this exposure anywhere else outside of Investment Club. See you in the Investment Club.

• 41:33Speaker 00

  Rhythms and mechanisms to create better models of themselves recursively, potentially to a point where it will be exponentially better, in exponentially shorter amounts of time, and we have lost all control.

• 41:49Speaker 00

  I am very negative about that, I have to say, and I will continue to be. So it's going to be, I would say, extremely important for all leaders to be aware of that and to be aware of how important it is to create trusted, validated mechanisms and baseline for artificial intelligence, especially in the context of quantum chips, which they are currently available.

• 42:17Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's a scary scenario. You know, we were around in 2020 and we were kind of getting censored for some of our messages, David. And but back then, you know, you would see a message and then you wouldn't see, for example, our videos. But still, as a human, you could still kind of make your own decisions. Whereas if that all happened again today or next year or the year after that, the AI would just tell you the answer, wouldn't it? You wouldn't have to think, oh, I believe that guy, I don't believe that guy, where is that guy? It would just tell you the answer. And these days, I think so many people are now just trusting whatever spits out of this centralized AI. And it actually makes it even more dangerous because the human is getting to be trusting so much.

• 43:01Speaker 01

  And like you said, they're never going to know, even if it's secure, and even if it is secure, where the data came from. And it's potentially an even more dangerous scenario than what we saw in 2020.

• 43:13Speaker 00

  That's right, you don't know where it comes from, you don't know if it's trustworthy, you don't know if the systems are getting it from, have been compromised or not, or if the data has been tampered with. These are absolute gaps that need to be filled in AI for us to actually use it for more real use cases instead of just mundane operations, which they are being integrated right now at government level, at military level, so on, so forth. And this is not only about transparency and it's also about freedom, right? And because it's very, I think it's very easy for all of us to imagine that if there is no transparency and no provable trust around every AI mechanism and source of data and source of truth,

• 43:56Speaker 00

  that that could easily, you know, driven into some sort of like propaganda machine, right? And that's not something any of us want to do. But I believe that, or all of us believe that the solution to that is directly proportional and parallel to the kind of technologies that we are focused on developing for the same sort of trust use cases that will ultimately benefit defense governments, but ultimately society and freedom as well.

• 44:26Speaker 01

  David, let's talk about how Naoris delivers for its customers. Because you've talked quite a bit about GovTech, you've talked about banking, but you've also talked about the mobile phone in my hand and whether I can trust all the apps there. Are you really a solution for everybody and all these different sectors? Or there are certain ones that you're going to focus on, at least in the beginning?

• 44:48Speaker 00

  Well, we're going to be, as we move into mainnet, we're going to be opening the SDK of Knowledge Protocol in a public setting. So people will be able to create solutions for whatever objective they deem necessary, in whatever process they need to, you know, improve trust over, right? And that could be over infrastructure, over APIs, over applications, over data streams, or VPNs, it could be anything, right? Over signatures on a document, right? So yes, just like the Knowledge Protocol is an infrastructure backbone for various tools to be used. So you can think about it kind of like a decentralized operating system of trust,

• 45:33Speaker 00

  where you can add your infrastructure into and it benefits from all the others. That may be doing different things, but, you know, they're all proving mathematically that everything else in the environment is in a trusted state, right? So this is made to be completely transversal. We have actually went to, and this was through the introduction of, you know, some generals that we had working with us, et cetera, to a number of national strategic technology incubators around the world, from South Korea to Chile, Austria and other countries, where we ended up being the winners of these technology incubators in many different use cases, you know, from fintech to telecommunications to defense.

• 46:15Speaker 00

  And we don't, you know, Naoris Protocol is a fundamental technology. So it can be applied into any process, into any use case, pretty much just like, for example, a Wi-Fi antenna or a processor, right? So it's easy for me to imagine that, you know, as chips are manufactured and mobile devices are made and applications are written, you know, if you have the capability to fundamentally, in a trusted way, prove that everything that is operating is in a trusted state when it operates and to prove its state when it interacts with each other,

• 46:58Speaker 00

  it's very hard for me to imagine that that will not be adopted. It would be the equivalent of say, "No, no, I don't want to make an encrypted phone call. I want to keep my phone calls open," right? When you have the option. So that's, yeah. I would say it's even above that because it's about, it's about trust. It's about resilience. And the only way to solve current problems is actually through trust and resilience. Because those two things are massive gaps in everything that we do right now. As we were saying before, you really, if you think about it, can't really, there's no way for you to prove that anything you see anywhere is actually in a trusted state.

• 47:41Speaker 01

  And it's going to get worse. And with the AIs and the deepfakes and everything, that's just, it seems like Naoris is coming at the perfect time. And speaking of that, your Naoris token, I believe, is coming live soon. Why do I need to own that token? Is that something I need to have?

• 47:59Speaker 00

  In order to start using NERIS protocol across any kind of system that I want to post quantum proof? Right, so, um, you know, the, you know, tell the truth, Brian, now NERIS, uh, as a utility is going to be used across all the nodes, uh, for very different use cases. It's going to be used to, uh, pay or support the network, right? Just like gas, uh, and we might have 20 different use cases or 200 different use cases that are what we call large clusters, so our blockchains within blockchains that have different rules. And they all achieve consensus independently and they all use our token as fuel, right?

• 48:39Speaker 00

  Um, so you can look at it as a security credit that, uh, you know, individuals all the way to Fortune 500 companies, uh, will need to buy to stay, uh, you know, in a very secure state, um, or very highly resilient. Um, and that can happen either directly through dollars or through the token. Of course, for, from a business perspective, um, the, uh, there is, uh, some difficulty in dealing with tokens. So for companies, uh, there is going to be a traditional mechanism that is similar to, for example, cloud services. But, but in the end, the token is in the background as well because this is, uh, uh, decentralized, the web three based, uh, you know, principle. Um, so value comes, as I mentioned, from utility.

• 49:25Speaker 00

  And in this case, I think we have one of the biggest, uh, utility, uh, use cases where what you're, you're actually proving that something is in a, in a, in a safe state. So you're providing value through assurance or resilience or security or confidentiality or availability checks, right? Uh, to any other device in the world that's part of these decentralized infrastructure. And, you know, environments must hold, uh, NERIS to, you know, execute, uh, these, these transactions. So right now, uh, just to give you an idea, there is, uh, just in the cybersecurity world, uh, forgetting, you know, infrastructure operations, which you'll lot more, which also has a lot to do with trust.

• 50:09Speaker 00

  But there's about 12 trillion dollars that will be lost this year to cyber issues globally. Uh, and if you think about it, that would be probably the world's second or third biggest economy if that was a country. So we believe that through this, you know, just imagine if every device on earth would be needing Nowars to stay secure and be a node, we would be creating kind of like the world's security currency. We would be creating the world's resilient, most resilient backbone that you can imagine and it will push our society to the next level.

• 50:51Speaker 00

  But yeah, that's what I would say. It's a necessity. So regulatory compliance, security, I think the demand for Nowars level validation, it just makes sense in general to exist.

• 51:06Speaker 01

  And you mentioned that businesses will probably pay in dollars via, you know, like they would for a cloud service. Will you take those revenues and then go in and buy and burn tokens and will that kind of all go back into just token appreciation?

• 51:19Speaker 00

  That's right. That's right. That's exactly, that's exactly what I'm and provide value to, you know, the validators, the node holders that are providing the value to the network, even for enterprise environments that of course cannot deal with tokens, they cannot keep tokens on their books. In the background, they're basically just kind of like, you know, let's say reserving tokens for their operations, even though tokens may not be used on their network. That's part of their licenses, et cetera.

• 51:56Speaker 01

  David, you have a bunch of, you know, NATO generals, you know, on your board and as advisors. Do you expect Nowars to be adopted by militaries and governments? Is this something that's already going to happen or happen? And is there anything that stops them from doing it? Because obviously they have highly, you know, secure issues to deal with. I guess a bank does as well.

• 52:23Speaker 00

  Right, so directly, I don't think so, but the technology, absolutely yes. And that always bleeds down into the utility, right? You know, Brian, we're in World War III right now, in some sense. It's very, very hard to even think about that, but that's true. But I don't think that's fought with bombs anymore, it's fought with bits. Cyber permeates every element of warfare. From deception in international politics, to espionage, to land, sea and air. I would say it's the biggest domain right now, even though 15 years ago it was not existent. Right?

• 53:05Speaker 00

  And things are changing massively, and you have AI-driven drones, and so on, so forth, and, you know, signal warfare, etc., etc. So nations are losing their digital sovereignty daily. They're very aware of that. And they are looking for solutions that are resilient, that give them new defensive options. And that use their own existing trusted infrastructure as a backbone, right? So, you know, I really believe that

• 53:44Speaker 00

  the next war will be won by whoever controls the algorithms. So if a country cannot secure its digital borders, then it will have no borders at all. So our objective from the North Procol side, with our technology and with the vision of our, as you say, former NATO generals and NATO leaders that are working with us, is to ensure that we'll have, you know, a more trusted and secure future, where cryptography, in a decentralized way, brings balance to the force.

• 54:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, in the recent attacks on Iran, we saw a lot of that cybersecurity. We saw them shutting down banks, bank teller machines. I saw flooding in the city, but I was like, okay, that's probably due to them hacking into infrastructure. Obviously, they had to shut down the internet, which then, of course, shuts down all the essential services. And lord knows what else they were doing behind the scenes. I also heard that after the official ceasefire, that they kept attacking with cyber, because... That's not something the public can see per se. And so I think it happens to a greater extent than most of us even realize.

• 54:58Speaker 00

  You're right, and actually that is a huge risk. You know, right now, as you say, cyber attacks, they are not kinetic generally, right? So they might actually lead to real world events and damage at massive scales. Like, for example, what happened with Stuxnet back in the day in Iran? Or with all the mobile phones of Hamas, etc., right?

• 55:22Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 55:22Speaker 00

  Where you can actually, you know, either, you know, hurt people or stop, for example, a nuclear power station, a nuclear program from existing through malware, right? Without bombing them, but it is still an act of war. And it's really complicated to deal with that because from an escalation perspective, normally you need to, you know, the laws of war says that you need to respond proportionally and in an equal manner. But if you do, for example, a cyber attack against, say, the New York Stock Exchange or, you know, the backbone of electricity of a country, what's the answer? Is that missiles? Is that bombing? Is that the nuclear attack? What is it? Because you just destroyed the economy of the other side, right?

• 56:05Speaker 00

  The problem here is that I believe, because there is, you know, attribution in cyber is very, very poor. And the level of trust on data is really poor as well because there's not, there aren't mechanisms like much protocol to validate things. It's very hard to say who did what, right? So it's very easy, I would say, for, you know, deception to occur that will lead to war conflict. And that might not even be done by the country that you think is the aggressor country, right? And that is extremely problematic. And as you say, it's very easy to do cyber attacks compared to conventional attacks. Because, as I mentioned, every single, single point of failure.

• 56:47Speaker 00

  There are so many opportunities. You want to have access to a critical system. Well, maybe, you know, you can just hack the mobile phone of the secretary of another company that's connected to that network, right? And over time, you will have access to that critical system and you may destroy it or ransomware it or steal data. So these are all fundamentals that. Nars Procol is there to change and to flip, pretty much. Turn all of those single punch failure into resilience and nodes. So sovereignty, I would say, it used to be about land, but right now it is about data and data access.

• 57:29Speaker 01

  Yeah, and pretty soon it's going to be about perception, right? And individuals' minds, perhaps. David, how long have you been working on this? And what's it like to watch all of your efforts come to fruition with the TGE event? Because, you know, you've been doing this for a while.

• 57:47Speaker 00

  Yes, yes, we have been doing this for a while. So I've left corporate, I believe, in 2017 with this idea, prevalidated idea with the former chief of intelligence of NATO, Mr. Shel Gernhagen, which was my mentor. And this was also his idea. So he said, the first time he actually showed him a demo, he said, this is going to change the world. I would like to dedicate, it is going to bring peace to the world, that's what he said. I would like to dedicate 10 to 20% of my time to this. And of course, I was very, very humbled by it. And that just meant that we had to go all in. And so we did. So we have been working on this really hard since 2018.

• 58:32Speaker 00

  That's when we wrote our first white paper. And then we went to a number of incubators and accelerators around the world. We competed with hundreds of thousands of companies and we were winners in more than 12 of them. That were tier one incubators and accelerators. We got a number of investment from their leaders in various areas like Team Draper. And then we had a number of, you know, what can I say, research and development efforts to create new technology that was based on a number of mandates that we had from these leaders. Investment club. Today, I consider it the best investment that I've ever made. We get four projects presented a week by their associated CEOs.

• 59:16Speaker 00

  Personally, I'm completely blown away by the quality of these projects. And I know of nowhere else where I would be given this same opportunity. Each week that passes, I feel more appreciative of fact that I'm a member of this group. The vibe was just tremendous. Everybody's on the same wavelength. We just clicked. Everybody listened to each other, enjoyed their company. It was just magical, magical. Take action, don't take my word for it. Do Dylan's you need to do. And I really hope that someday down the road I see you in the club. It far exceeded expectations, without question.

• 59:55Speaker 00

  Their visions and strategies that right now, at the time, they were thought as to early. And right now they are definitely materializing. So everybody's talking about these topics, you know, be it, you know, sovereign or trusted AI, be it, you know, decentralized cybersecurity, be it quantum computing and quantum resilience. Right? So it culminates with a number of peer reviewed white papers and peer reviewed papers that have been very well published with the IEEE Foundation, which is the biggest engineering group in the world, all the way to a number of universities in both sides of the Atlantic that have peer reviewed papers with us and published with us.

• 1:00:37Speaker 00

  And that led to the creation of this technology, which is now the first in production post quantum blockchain. We have done more than, more than 90 million transactions at post quantum level. We have done, we have more than one million nodes, more than three million participants in close to three months. And which makes us by far the biggest web three infrastructure or cybersecurity mesh in the world, backed by just centralized devices, which is blockchain outside of blockchain. And that's what we expect to happen in the rest of the world, the rest of other use cases, because it just brings in value.

• 1:01:21Speaker 00

  And under this, we have actually mitigated more than 400 million threats under the single use case that we made available during this time. So these were risks that didn't happen. So websites that didn't steal your data, phishing websites that didn't take you somewhere for you to, you know, to be defrauded on your credit card or on your crypto environment. So on so forth, right? And this is just the tip of the spear as we see it. And it's very exciting to be backed by, you know, such incredible people like these former NATO generals, former national, you know, cyber command leaders and, you know, former US White House administration leaders, et cetera.

• 1:02:05Speaker 00

  And even some people that actually helped create the internet as we know it. Because it's an evolution that we're going through, right? We're not fixing something, we're really changing the paradigm completely with the technology that people thought it was just good for crypto, right? And we want to make that the backbone of world's infrastructure and turn the internet from what it is now, which is a battlefield, into a fortress and making everything stronger, not weaker, right?

• 1:02:42Speaker 01

  David, you're in San Francisco now. How much do, you know, the new regulatory environment from the new administration, how much does that help you do what you need to do with NARIS? Obviously, it's on-chain, obviously, there's a token being generated soon. Is this the perfect timing for that? And do you think that's just going to accelerate, at least in the US going forward?

• 1:03:04Speaker 00

  Yeah, I think it's going to accelerate. I think everybody is positive and upbeat about the status quo of what you have described. It's obvious that we need to move from kind of like an internet of things to an internet of trust and create some kind of like immune system in general. So the fact that, you know, on the element of NARIS protocol, there's a token involved and we're going to be launching it soon at this time is exciting. The market's in a good position, in a good condition. There is a lot of openness from regulatory bodies.

• 1:03:44Speaker 00

  However, we have a unique opportunity as a first mover to, you know, not just tackle the quantum issue and the quantum clock. But also leverage the capabilities that we have outside of blockchain with blockchain technology, right? More into the, you know, the governments, the critical infrastructures, the banks, the highly regulated spaces. And so that's, that's something that, you know, makes us excited and all of us are aligned in that vision across the company and the advisors.

• 1:04:23Speaker 01

  David, what's next? The next 12 months, the next 24 months, obviously the TGE is coming up soon, but like what are the big milestones? What are the big challenges you have to just take this to the next level and keep building?

• 1:04:37Speaker 00

  Right. So just, you know, imagine a situation where, you know, you will have hundreds of millions of nodes and we are in a, we would be having a completely different conversation now because we would be quantum safe. We wouldn't be worrying about what would happen with Bitcoin and quantum and we wouldn't be worrying about what if this country attacks that country and, you know, destroys this capability that would that lead to a war? Or what if that country gains control over the nuclear codes of the other country? What would that, you know, so on and so forth.

• 1:05:22Speaker 00

  So all these risks would go away. This is how I imagine the world under our protocol and my objective, our objective is to help everyone through technology by changing some fundamentals. So how do I see the future? I see a world where people are aware of the risk to themselves and to the environment around them. I see a world where right now and more and more countries are taking actionable steps towards their own safety, their own protection, their own sovereignty, which of course will lead to more stability.

• 1:06:03Speaker 00

  And all of that, I see it backed by a logical backbone that is decentralized, sovereign, agnostic, and hyper resilient, backed by a large protocol-based technology for many use cases. Any use case that is digital needs this approach. This is what I see. I would say that right now, probably, the future that we enable is a secure future, is a future where countries don't just compete militarily, but they compete from a perspective of,

• 1:06:47Speaker 00

  let's say, even unhackability, I would say, and that will lead to a lot more stability. Because if it is very hard for you to do something bad, you're probably going to be focusing on other things and you're going to switch from offense to defense. And right now, offense is really easy. It's, you know, let's say, if a country attacks another country, let's say, you know, there's a rocket or a missile fired at a country by an organization or another country. It's really hard for that country to put that missile back together and send it back. But if I attack with a cyber weapon your nuclear power station, it's really easy for me to grab that piece of malware, modify it, make it 10 times worse,

• 1:07:29Speaker 00

  and send it to you as many times as I want because I don't have any cost of production. I just do Ctrl C, Ctrl V, right? So this is the fundamentals that we're looking to change. And as we move into Web 4, which is always on quantum internet, that's always on trusted internet with AI by design and default, this needs to be the backbone, right? There is no other way to go about that. And if we don't do that now, we have all the risks that we mentioned before, from Q Day to Harvest Now the Clip Later, just creeping in on us and we would be on a boat to ops lessons, which, you know, nobody wants to do.

• 1:08:15Speaker 01

  Wow, Web4, you just dropped that on us, David. Never heard that before. And, um, but it makes sense. The way you've just described it, that clearly is the future. And the question is, are we going to be ready for it? I guess we are with NARIS. Um, David, how can people, um, follow you? How can they learn more about the token and when it's going to be issued, et cetera? What's the best way?

• 1:08:38Speaker 00

  So, you know, if somebody watching wants to take part in this revolution, um, you know, we are at the crossroads right now. So, you know, join NARIS, join us, help us build these, you know, trustable future and in trusted civilization. So, we are currently on our public sales still. Uh, we're going to be listing soon. Um, you can come to naris.com or our socials, narisprotocol.com, uh, our Twitter, um, and you can find, uh, ways to participate, join the community, join the cybersecurity mesh. Uh, whether you're an individual or a representative of a company or a government, feel free to reach out to us.

• 1:09:23Speaker 00

  We have many programs that will improve the resiliency, capabilities and trust of your operations. The future doesn't belong to, uh, how can I say, risk creators and threat actors. It belongs to the ones that get together behind a very trusted cybersecurity mesh and embrace decentralization. So, I would say, um, just join us, um, follow our socials and, uh, check out our, our site, white papers, peer reviewed papers, if you're into that kind of thing. There's a lot of videos and podcasts that, um, have been, uh, broadcasted both by myself and David Holtzman, which is our Chief of Strategy.

• 1:10:06Speaker 00

  He used to be the, uh, the, the, the CTO of IBM Global and he created the DNS Protocol, uh, for the internet. Um, so, uh, you know, very interesting people saying interesting things and much smarter than I am. Um, so just follow them and, uh, feel free to join us. It could be a pleasure.

• 1:10:27Speaker 01

  David, it's exciting times and one of the reasons we were intrigued and excited and also just proud to be partners with you is, first of all, you've been doing this for seven years. Like, that's incredible. Almost unheard of in any company in blockchain, really. The second was these really high-level people you have advising you and on your board and, you know, again, like, I hadn't seen NATO generals before, single or plural. And then, of course, all your other amazing backers. We know Tim Draper really well. Real visionary, really OG in the space. And the more I talk to you, the more I realize how big a problem it is that you're solving. And like you said, it's imminent.

• 1:11:08Speaker 01

  It's not about if, it's when. And that when, like you said, even if there's a 10% probability it could happen, say, next year, or a 1%, the value of that is so high that you want to start working on this problem now. And not to mention, like you said, you're creating attack vectors every single day because this data is being harvested. And so, look, it's great to hear that you have a solution to this. Most people are just terrified with the quantum computers, but it's nice to know that people like you are building this out. And especially for people in the Bitcoin space and all these other things that really get terrified when they think that their asset, which they've been told is totally

• 1:11:50Speaker 01

  secure, might not be, but then there's going to be potential. So yeah, really exciting stuff. Any final thoughts from you, David?

• 1:11:58Speaker 00

  Yeah, I would like to just leave a final statement. Again, for everybody watching, feel free to join us. Feel free to join this revolution, take part on it. And just participate with us, you know, own a part of the future with us. And if you want to help us do research or be a developer or, you know, work with us as a partner, etc., feel free to reach out to us as well. We have a partner program. We have a number of very large companies there, all the way to very small players. And we accept anybody with interesting ideas to

• 1:12:41Speaker 00

  work with us on any sort of vertical, because all verticals need this. And yeah, so just stay safe, stay secure, and stay quantum, and we'll talk next time.

• 1:12:51Speaker 01

  Fantastic. Thank you so much David, to everybody here. Follow them on X. Go to the website and again, public sale is happening now, TGE even sooner, right after that. And then get involved. Get your company involved, your bank, your government, because this is going to be so important in the future. Again, we've personally experienced, you know, how unvalidated data can just change the world and that's about to go exponential, those threats. And so it's great to know that you guys are building solutions to that. So thank you so much David. Looking forward to the future and wishing you all the best.

• 1:13:26Speaker 00

  Thank you. Pleasure.

• 1:13:28Speaker 01

  All right. Fantastic. Thanks everybody. We will see you next time on London Real. Take care.
