Cryptography

Anza and Jump Crypto's Firedancer reached the same conclusion on Falcon without coordinating, and the Solana Foundation has now adopted it as the network's planned post-quantum signature path.

Blockstream's CEO told Paris Blockchain Week that Bitcoin should build quantum-resistant upgrades now through voluntary migration, opposing BIP-361's plan to freeze coins in vulnerable address formats on a five-year timeline.

Olaoluwa Osuntokun's prototype lets users prove wallet ownership without a digital signature, solving the collateral damage problem in Bitcoin's most likely response to quantum computing threats.

The 2025 Nobel laureate and Qolab co-founder warns that elliptic curve cryptography — the backbone of Bitcoin's security — is among the easiest targets for a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, giving the network a five-to-ten-year window to prepare.
