It’s Time for the Crypto Industry to Take the Threat of AI and Quantum Computing Seriously
If a quantum computer ever broke a blockchain, the entire crypto industry might as well close down shop, argues Kostas Chalkias, chief cryptographer at Mysten Labs.
Solana’s Yakovenko Says Bitcoin Must Upgrade to Survive Quantum Threat by 2030
Other experts in the crypto community, such as Adam Back and Peter Todd, are less convinced of the near-term threat.
Ethereum's Justin Drake Unveils ‘Lean’ Roadmap to Fend Off Quantum Threats
The new framework is aimed at simplifying the protocol’s design while preparing it for the security risks posed by future quantum computers.
Bitcoin Traders Are Discussing BTC’s Record High, but Quantum Computing Is Threatening the Math Behind It
Bitcoin relies on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) to secure wallet addresses and validate ownership. But ECC, like RSA, is vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm — a quantum computing method capable of cracking the discrete logarithm problem, the core math behind Bitcoin's private keys.

Bitcoin Devs Float Proposal to Freeze Quantum-Vulnerable Addresses — Even Satoshi Nakamoto’s
Bitcoin’s cryptography has never faced an existential threat and still doesn’t, except preemptive ones that can possibly target early wallets.
Project Eleven Raises $6M to Defend Bitcoin From the Coming Quantum Threat
Project Eleven is also offering 1 BTC to the first team to break an elliptic curve cryptographic key using a quantum computer.
