Quantum Computing Poses Critical Threats to Blockchain Security, Warns Expert

Professor Massimiliano Sala, a professor of Mathematics at the University of Trento, warns that quantum computing poses significant threats to blockchain security. He highlights that quantum computers could solve problems foundational to digital signatures, compromising user assets on blockchain platforms. To mitigate these risks, Sala emphasizes the need to transition to quantum-resistant cryptographic systems. He … Read more

Existing Blockchains Can’t Adopt Post-Quantum Cryptography Without Significant User Impact, Says Johann Polecsak

As the prospect of quantum computers breaking today’s cybersecurity standards edges ever closer, Johann Polecsak, co-founder of the QAN blockchain platform, argues that public blockchains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are still ill-equipped to adopt post-quantum cryptography without significant user impact. Post-Quantum Migration Risks Polecsak, an advocate for heightened awareness of imminent quantum attacks, … Read more
