Crypto Agility

Crypto Agility

So came across a great video by IBM a few weeks ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrHKwxasXS4 and now even Microsoft is talking about it in the linked article provided.

They all have the same vibe. Projects need to start building "crypto-agility" into their apps and services to make the inevitable shift to post-quantum algorithms far less painful in the future.

There are only a few projects that seem to have this super power already. I wonder if this will be the next biggest thing that will enable many other projects to fall short of being future proof? Algorand has also started making post about Crypto Agility.

I heard the Ethereum is making big changes, perhaps Vitalik is also heading in this direction?

Q‑Day Explained: How Quantum Computing Threatens Today’s Cryptography

Has anyone heard of the phrase Crypto Agility?

It seems to be the next buzz word. I stumbled across this phrase when I came across this video and another blockchain which will remain unnamed.

It made me remember the honey badger Meme for Bitcoin. But then I remembered that Bitcoin doesn't really evolve and people are still debating if Quantum resistance is such a problem currently.

So what projects or products in your lifetime have been that agile? Is it even possible for most blockchains to be this agile and if so, what is needed to be agile? Is it a Virtual machine upgrade thats needed?

Have you all stumbled across any VM that fall into this category in your opinion?
