DAC Urges Quantum-Resistant Systems as Italy Unveils New Supercomputer

As Italy unveils its inaugural Quantum Supercomputer and the Volta B1 industrial quantum annealer today, October 16, at the Digital Innovation Forum 2026, the quantum-resistant Layer-1 blockchain project DAC has emphasized the rising demand for post-quantum cybersecurity.

DAC Spearheading Italy’s Quantum Computing Ambitions

The rollout of Volta B1 today represents a major turning point for Italy’s quantum sector, establishing the system as one of the most sophisticated quantum infrastructures in Europe. Built under the scientific and technical oversight of Q-Alliance, the initiative simultaneously turns the spotlight back onto the long-term defense of digital architectures as the capabilities of quantum technology expand.

Davide Costa, DAC’s Head of Innovation, took part in the Forum panel titled “Frontier Technologies: Quantum Computing, HPC for Quantum Computing, Supercomputers and Blockchain,” appearing alongside delegates from academic institutions, research hubs, and technology organizations.

The conversation centered on progress in computational hardware and the framework necessary to power next-generation breakthroughs. The critical need to anticipate future quantum computing capacities holds particular weight for blockchain systems, which rely on cryptography to safeguard digital assets and transactions.

“The inauguration of Italy’s first Quantum Supercomputer and industrial quantum annealer marks a major milestone in quantum technology. While these advances unlock new possibilities, they also reinforce the need to prepare for future threats to the cryptographic systems securing blockchain networks. At DAC, we’re addressing this challenge by embedding quantum resistance into blockchain infrastructure from the outset,” said Davide Costa, Head of Innovation at DAC.

DAC is currently building an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain designed to withstand quantum threats. The DAC Blockchain relies on Proof of Quantum Work (PoQW) alongside quantum entropy to deliver enduring cryptographic security alongside predictable transaction fees for commercial users.

Members of the DAC team additionally attended conferences throughout the Digital Innovation Forum 2026, engaging with key figures and specialists in quantum computing as Europe advances its quantum readiness and strengthens its focus on future-proof digital foundations.
