CZ: No Need to Panic About Quantum Threat, Cryptocurrency Just Needs to . . . Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) has gained attention for its use of XMSS (eXtended Merkle Signature Scheme), a hash-based signature system resistant to quantum attacks QRL has seen a significant price surge of 40 9% on March 31, 2026, reaching $1 62, as institutional interest in post-quantum cryptography grows
Is Bitcoin’s Governance Too Slow To Fend off Quantum Risks? The race to make blockchains quantum-resistant is shaping into a test of governance, and decentralized networks may be at a disadvantage Quantum upgrades don’t stop at protocol-level changes
Why hasn’t crypto upgraded to post-quantum security yet? Because . . . Andrew Cheung (@acheungquantum) 11 likes 213 views Why hasn’t crypto upgraded to post-quantum security yet? Because cryptography in blockchains isn’t isolated It’s part of the execution model: - transaction validation rules - signature verification (ECDSA EdDSA) - address derivation - wallet key management - smart contract authorization All of that assumes one thing: private keys
Why didn’t Google’s new quantum research focus on banking or nuclear . . . Additionally, blockchains typically offer no recourse when a forged signature authorizes a fraudulent transfer The combination of concentrated cryptographic exposure and irreversible failure makes crypto the clearest venue to demonstrate what post-quantum signature collapse looks like Beneath that technical argument sits a governance argument
Good morning! New day, i started researching and discovering that . . . Good morning! 🌞 New day, i started researching and discovering that @quipnetwork offers a solution to upgrade the security of crypto wallets without changing wallets, keys, or blockchains Instead of forcing users to move assets, Quip integrates a seamless layer of protection directly into the existing infrastructure The technology routes assets through storage using post-quantum
Academic Research Puts XRP Ledger at the Front of Quantum-Resistant . . . The XRP Ledger began its quantum-resistance journey in December last year by introducing transactions secured with Dilithium cryptography This post-quantum signature algorithm safeguards data against potential attacks from quantum computers, threats that could compromise traditional elliptic curve-based blockchains
Google Sets 2029 Deadline for Post-Quantum Cryptography Shift Google announced 2029 as its target date to implement post-quantum cryptography Major blockchain platforms are also preparing quantum-resistant protocols and solutions The industry must act swiftly as quantum hardware capabilities continue to progress
Is Bitcoin at Risk from Quantum Computers? Experts Weigh In Academic and industry research into post‑quantum signature schemes suitable for high‑throughput blockchains, with groups like QRL and Project Eleven focusing specifically on crypto networks
