5+ day, 19+ hour ago   (424+ words) IonQ estimates 26 days to break secp256k1 with 20,000 qubits. A fault-tolerant quantum computer with approximately 20,000 physical qubits would require 26 days to break the cryptography of secp256k1, according to IonQ. The first complete, end-to-end fault-tolerant resource estimate for running Shor’s algorithm—the team used…...

1+ week, 2+ day ago   (354+ words) QuFi Network has launched a post-quantum verification platform designed to protect digital assets from future quantum threats without altering existing settlement networks. To demonstrate the solution, developers used the Bitcoin Testnet4. QuFi’s key idea is to separate transaction verification from its…...

2+ week, 6+ day ago   (475+ words) Ethereum developers have proposed a new version of the deposit contract designed for signatures resistant to quantum attacks. Currently, a validator connects to the network through a smart contract that accepts deposits and operates solely with BLS cryptography. The draft…...
