Participating banks are set to test post-quantum wallets and onchain transfers, with regulators from Abu Dhabi, Bhutan, and Malta initially in observer positions.

The structure places active testing on the bank side while three regulatory jurisdictions watch the opening phase.

The pilot focuses on post-quantum wallets and actual onchain transfers, the layer where cryptographic standards become consequential as quantum computing develops.

Abu Dhabi, Bhutan, and Malta are watching the initial round rather than directing it. Whether those regulatory observers eventually take a more active role is the detail that shapes the pilot's next phase.
