Quantum Vault: reference post-quantum wallets for Bitcoin and Ethereum

Quantum-vaults transfer funds in a single operation and mark the address used as exposed. The second tool is libqc, a kit that upgrades Ethereum accounts to post-quantum. Two tools to build post-quantum wallets compatible with Bitcoin and Ethereum were published on GitHub by the company Project Eleven this May 12. It is about libqca TypeScript … Read more

China launches cloud quantum computer with free trial

The system more than doubles the chip capacity of its previous generation, of 72 qubits. The Origin Quantum computer does not incorporate fault-tolerant error correction. Origin Quantum, a Chinese company linked to the national government, launched Origin Wukong-180, its fourth generation of superconducting quantum computer. The system offers a free trial that is available to … Read more

“The most threatening quantum advances will be a state secret”

Project Eleven estimates Q-Day in a base case around 2033. Final quantum advances would follow the logic of state intelligence, not academic publishing. Project Eleven, a research firm specialized in post-quantum cryptography applied to cryptocurrency ecosystems, warns that the latest milestones in the development of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) will be classified as … Read more

They develop 160-byte post-quantum signatures, are they applicable in Bitcoin?

The EternaX Labs team presented this May 5 a new post-quantum authentication scheme called SILMARILS (Compact Post-Quantum Authentication System for Cryptoasset Chain Systems) that produces digital signatures of only 160 bytes. The development responds to one of the main problems of post-quantum migration: the size of its signatures compared to the systems currently used. The … Read more

The NEAR cryptocurrency network already has its post-quantum signatures chosen

The Near One team announced this May 6 that the NEAR Protocol cryptocurrency network will adopt ML-DSA (FIPS-204, formerly known as Dilithium) as its first post-quantum signature scheme. Deployment will begin on a testnet (testnet) before the end of the second quarter of 2026. ML-DSA is a signature scheme based on lattices (mathematical structures that … Read more

Q-Day could arrive in 2030 and put millions of BTC at risk, according to Project Eleven

The estimated exposure exceeds $560 billion in BTC. The report suggests that BTC’s transition to post-quantum schemes would require several years. A Project Eleven analysis released on May 6, 2026 warns that so-called “Q-Day,” the point at which quantum computing could break public-key cryptography, could arrive as soon as 2030. The report suggests that up … Read more

Bitcoin price not related to quantum fear, according to Grayscale

According to the analysis, Bitcoin’s decline responds to macro and technological factors, not quantum risk The similar downward behavior between Bitcoin and the quantum sector contradicts that theory. Grayscale Research, the analysis division of the asset management and investment fund company, maintains that the recent price drop of bitcoin (BTC) is not primarily related to … Read more

“It’s hard to take him seriously”

Murch does not deny the need to prepare, but rather the weight given to the immediacy of the threat. Adam Back responded that “Q-decade” is a more accurate horizon than “Q-day”. Murch, a renowned Bitcoin Core developer and editor of the Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIP) repository, expressed this May 3 on Every time I open … Read more
