Building Resilient Web 3.0 Infrastructure With Quantum Information Technologies and Blockchain: An Ambilateral View

Web 3.0 pursues the establishment of decentralized ecosystems through blockchain technologies, driving digital transformation in commerce and governance. With consensus algorithms and smart contracts grounded in cryptographic technologies, Web 3.0 enables secure and transparent digital services, such as digital identity, asset management, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and decentralized finance (DeFi), fostering integration between digital and physical economies. As quantum devices rapidly advance, Web 3.0 is being developed in parallel with the deployment of quantum cloud computing and quantum Internet. In this regard, quantum computing first disrupts the original cryptographic systems that protect data security while reshaping modern cryptography with enhanced quantum computing and communication capabilities. This article provides a comprehensive overview of blockchain-based Web 3.0, examining its quantum and postquantum advancements from two key perspectives. On the one hand, postquantum migration methods and quantum-resistant signatures offer robust solutions to safeguard blockchain against quantum threats. On the other hand, quantum and postquantum encryption and verification algorithms boost blockchain performance, creating a decentralized, secure, and value-driven system. Additionally, we outline potential applications of quantum blockchain and offer guidance for implementation within the Web 3.0 ecosystem. Finally, we discuss future directions for developing a provably secure and decentralized digital ecosystem.

Abstract

Web 3.0 pursues the establishment of decentralized ecosystems through blockchain technologies, driving digital transformation in commerce and governance. With consensus algorithms and smart contracts grounded in cryptographic technologies, Web 3.0 enables secure and transparent digital services, such as digital identity, asset management, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and decentralized finance (DeFi), fostering integration between digital and physical economies. As quantum devices rapidly advance, Web 3.0 is being developed in parallel with the deployment of quantum cloud computing and quantum Internet. In this regard, quantum computing first disrupts the original cryptographic systems that protect data security while reshaping modern cryptography with enhanced quantum computing and communication capabilities. This article provides a comprehensive overview of blockchain-based Web 3.0, examining its quantum and postquantum advancements from two key perspectives. On the one hand, postquantum migration methods and quantum-resistant signatures offer robust solutions to safeguard blockchain against quantum threats. On the other hand, quantum and postquantum encryption and verification algorithms boost blockchain performance, creating a decentralized, secure, and value-driven system. Additionally, we outline potential applications of quantum blockchain and offer guidance for implementation within the Web 3.0 ecosystem. Finally, we discuss future directions for developing a provably secure and decentralized digital ecosystem.
