The Bitcoin network took its first step towards quantum-computing resistance with the addition of BIP 360 to its repository.

At ETH Denver, developers warned that advances in quantum computing could threaten Bitcoin’s digital signatures as the industry continues to debate how to prepare.

BIP-360 co-author Ethan Heilman says that making Bitcoin quantum-secure could take 7 years. Recent breakthroughs suggest time is running out.

Amid the rapid development of quantum computing technology, there are new types of privacy coins are emerging such as Zcash.

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are practically impossible to solve. Quantum computers threaten to flip that ...

Public-key cryptography can become unreliable in certain post-Q-Day scenarios. The earliest onchain stress is likely to concentrate in digital signatures (authorization and ownership) because they ...

In 1994, Peter Shor, an American mathematician working at Bell Labs, published a paper with a wonky title and earth-shaking implications. In “Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Prime Factorization and ...

Bitcoin price just did something it hasn’t done in 12 years. It broke its long-term trend against gold.That line held through bull markets, crashes, bans, ETFs, everything. Now it is gone. And some ...

The truth is that even the most optimistic vendor estimates for this would put very nascent stages of enterprise value toward the end of the decade. Quantum computing will probably never get a ...
