Benchmark
How ready is your blockchain for quantum computing?
An independent benchmark of 31 major chains, scored from 0 to 100 against a published rubric. Every figure carries a primary source.
Maintained editorially. Scores measure quantum readiness only and are not an assessment of an asset. The full rubric, including what it deliberately does not measure, is on the methodology page. If you want the threat explained in plain language first, start with the guides.

Tier and score are separate axes. The tier records how far a chain has moved along the readiness spine. The score weighs six dimensions, some of which reward a sound algorithm choice or a low-exposure address model independently of deployment. Read them together.
