Explore quantum and crypto news, including security risks, post-quantum research, and what quantum computing could mean for blockchains.
The Ethereum Foundation’s post-quantum roadmap argues that the real danger is a years-long struggle over how to move user wallets.
Bitcoin faces pressure to upgrade with warnings of a steep price discount sparked by quantum computing risks.
If it ever activates, it’s opt-in and slow, because Bitcoin’s real constraint is coordination, not cryptography.
Coinbase, Solana, Polkadot, and Bitcoin all moved on PQ planning, but wallet UX and aggregation may decide the winner.
The quantum computing threat challenges Bitcoin's status as "digital gold," prompting strategic shifts.
There are no secret messages on the blockchain to decrypt. The real threat is Shor’s algorithm forging signatures on keys you’ve already revealed.
Shor breaks ECDSA/Schnorr at scale, while Taproot pubkeys are already visible. NIST’s PQC path and an Optech draft show how Bitcoin could migrate without panic.
Bitcoin faces "probably not" any vulnerability to a cryptographically relevant quantum computer for roughly 20 to 40 years.
