Advances in quantum computing challenge the hardness assumptions underlying widely deployed public-key cryptography in blockchain systems. Although post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards are emerging, understanding quantum risk remains fragmented across research, engineering, governance, and investment communities. This demo presents Quantum Futures Interactive, a live interdisciplinary demonstration combining educational visualization, participatory interaction, and demonstrative post-quantum artifact generation using a toy LWE-based construction. Participants engage in a structured seven-stage interaction flow covering quantum threat education, sentiment capture, technology prioritization, infrastructure tradeoff exploration across simulators and QPUs, and artifact generation. The system integrates distributed trust concepts and sustainability-aware infrastructure considerations within an interactive decision framework.
