Which Cryptocurrencies Will Survive Quantum Computing
 |
Quantum computers have the potential to break the public-key cryptography that secures nearly every major blockchain today. While practical attacks may still be years away, migrating an entire blockchain ecosystem to new cryptography is a massive undertaking that will likely take years of research, development, auditing, and adoption. I came across this comparison of post-quantum readiness across major blockchain projects and thought it raised some interesting points. Some of the article's key takeaways:
Whether practical quantum attacks arrive sooner or later is still an open question. Most experts agree it's a matter of when, not if. If migration itself takes years, projects that start late are also likely to finish late. It will be interesting to see how different blockchain ecosystems execute their migration strategies over the coming years. submitted by /u/ChillerID |
