For now, the ecosystem lacks unified standards against quantum risk. Trezor, Ledger and emerging projects lead post-quantum research. Quantum computing is no longer a distant concept and is beginning to emerge as a real risk to the security of Bitcoin. A report published on March 30 by Google suggests that, in a future scenario, a … Read more
Coinbase CSO convened Bitcoin Core developers to a quantum working group. Samson Mow pointed out that Armstrong’s last intervention in BTC led to the Block Wars. Quantum computing is no longer an abstract threat to Bitcoin. The recent Google Quantum AI report, which reduced the resources needed to break the cryptography that protects Bitcoin and … Read more
BTC investor Nic Carter opined that BTC developers “are not doing anything.” Back noted that Blockstream has a team of 20 people dedicated to crypto. Adam Back, co-founder of Blockstream, refuted the claim that Bitcoin developers are not working on the threat that quantum computing poses to the network. “It is simply false and insulting … Read more
Charles Edwards, CEO of Capriole, warns that urgent measures must be taken. According to other opinions, the current impact of quantum risk on bitcoin is minimal. The investment and financial analysis company, Capriole Investments, warned on April 2, 2026, that the bitcoin (BTC) market has already applied a 24% discount on what would be its … Read more
S2morrow uses Falcon-512, a post-quantum scheme standardized by NIST. The implementation of S2morrow did not involve any forks or changes to the protocol. The Starknet team, an Ethereum second layer (L2) network, announced the deployment of S2morrow, a tool that allows you to create and use accounts (wallets) with post-quantum cryptography and which is now … Read more
The debate about Q-Day or the moment when quantum computing is capable of violating current cryptography, moved from the theoretical blackboards to the forums and discussion spaces of the Bitcoin community. It happened on March 31, 2026 when Google’s roadmap, which places the year 2029 as the horizon for its post-quantum migration, reactivated the analysis … Read more
Algorand, Solana, and the XRP Ledger have already executed transactions with quantum-resistant signatures. Networks like Quantum Resistant Ledger were born with post-quantum cryptography since their launch. A Google Quantum AI study published on March 30, which estimated that a quantum computer could compromise Bitcoin cryptography in less than nine minutes, also identified cryptocurrency networks that … Read more
The Blockstream standard produces signatures of ~2,564 bytes while the SLH-DSA standard produces 7,872 bytes. According to Google, the quantum resources needed to break BTC are 20 times less than estimated. Blockstream Research, the research arm of the company co-founded by Adam Back, announced on March 30 the launch of SHRIMPS, a new digital signature … Read more
A team of researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the startup Oratomic presented a study that drastically reduces the hardware needed to run Shor’s algorithm, the quantum method capable of breaking the cryptography that protects Bitcoin. The publication occurred almost in parallel with the study published by Google and the quantum threat … Read more
IQM supplies quantum computers for direct installation at customer sites. The capital comes on top of a previous $1 billion investment in photonic quantum chips. BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with $14 trillion under management, allocated €50 million—about $57.6 million—to IQM Quantum Computers, a Finnish company dedicated to the manufacturing of superconducting quantum computers. … Read more
