Highlights: Paradigm introduced PACTs to help Bitcoin holders prepare for future quantum-computing risks privately. PACTs let holders timestamp proof of coin control without moving Bitcoin onchain today. The idea still needs wider Bitcoin community review before becoming any real protocol […]

Highlights: Project Eleven awarded 1 BTC to Giancarlo Lelli for breaking a 15-bit ECC key. The quantum test is the largest public attack on elliptic curve cryptography so far. Project Eleven says the result shows why crypto must prepare for […]

Highlights: Sonic says its blockchain can adopt post-quantum signatures without changing its core consensus design. The team warns many proof-of-stake networks may face harder and more costly upgrades. Sonic believes its simpler DAG-based structure could make future quantum transition more […]

Highlights: Ripple plans to make the XRP Ledger quantum-ready by 2028, with testing starting in 2026. The company warned that long-term quantum risks could threaten crypto assets held untouched for years. Ripple’s four-phase roadmap covers risk study, testing, and a […]

Highlights: Cardano’s founder said BIP-361 would still leave about 1.7 million Bitcoin exposed to quantum risk. He argued older wallets would not fit the recovery system discussed in the proposal. Hoskinson said the plan acts more like a hard fork […]

Highlights: Bitcoin transactions can be protected from quantum attacks using a method that works without network changes. The Bitcoin quantum safe model relies on costly computation, which limits its use to large and urgent transfers. The long-term protection of the […]

Highlights: Circle says Arc will launch with post-quantum signatures to protect wallets from future quantum threats. The roadmap also covers private transactions, validators, and infrastructure across the broader Arc network. Circle is using an opt-in approach so developers and institutions […]

Highlights: Bitcoin rises, a signal to renewed buyer interest and possible near-term breakout. Risk-on sentiment lifts BTC alongside equities after progress in Middle East peace talks. Google quantum computing warning caps BTC gains, but fears are seen as short-term. Bitcoin […]

Highlights: Caltech and Oratomic said useful quantum computers may need far fewer qubits than earlier estimates suggested. The study says practical quantum machines could arrive before 2030 if engineering progress continues. Faster quantum progress is raising fresh concerns about Bitcoin […]

Highlights: Google warned that quantum computers may break Bitcoin-era encryption sooner than many in crypto expected. The company urged blockchain developers to begin shifting toward post-quantum security standards now. Google said Bitcoin is not at immediate risk, but future transaction […]

Highlights: Google plans to complete its shift to post-quantum cryptography by 2029. The company warned that quantum threats are getting closer and should not be ignored. Google said attackers could steal encrypted data now and decrypt it later. Google has […]

Highlights: A Galaxy Digital analyst said quantum risk exists, but only wallets with exposed public keys face danger. He said most Bitcoin wallets remain safe unless public keys appear on-chain. Owens said developer work on quantum protection has picked up since […]
