Zcash infrastructure developer Zakura has proposed a new wallet feature that would protect users’ transaction privacy against potential future quantum computing attacks. The proposal would assign a separate incoming viewing key to every Zcash (ZEC) swap made through NEAR Intents. This limits the payment history an attacker could expose if
Ethereum developers have established a post-quantum team, which focuses on improving the long-term security of the Ethereum network from future cryptographic threats worldwide. Ethereum developers recognize that quantum computing advancements are a future threat to the existing cryptographic systems used in different blockchain networks. The team announced on its X
The co-founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, has outlined four specific upgrades. These are to make Ethereum more resilient to the future threat of quantum computing. He has made this roadmap public and has mentioned some technical areas that need long-term planning and coordination of research. Buterin warned that advanced quantum
Ethereum Foundation researchers have published a technical draft roadmap, or “strawmap,” that outlines seven possible network forks through 2029. This roadmap is very ambitious in terms of scalability, finality speed, and cryptographic security but recognizes that a decentralized network cannot have a single, authoritative roadmap. Ethereum researcher Justin Drake explained
Kevin O’Leary, a Shark Tank investor and a Bitcoin supporter, warned that the price of Bitcoin could crash due to quantum computing. O’Leary said that quantum computers could break the cryptographic security of Bitcoin faster than programmers can enhance the security measures. Currently, Bitcoin’s encryption is based on mathematical problems
Cryptocurrencies have transformed the way people perceive and use money. With blockchain technology at its core, the cryptocurrency ecosystem thrives on security, transparency, and decentralization. However, technological advancements like quantum computing pose new challenges to this system. As we step into 2025, quantum computing is likely to disrupt existing cryptocurrency
In recent days, the potential of quantum computing to disrupt Bitcoin’s security has become a hot topic. While the idea of advanced quantum computers breaking Bitcoin’s cryptography may sound alarming, many experts in the field believe these concerns are premature and often exaggerated. Key voices in cryptocurrency, such as Ki
