Highlights: Vitalik Buterin says obfuscation could help blockchain apps protect private logic without trusted middlemen. He says blockchains can track public state while obfuscation hides sensitive program rules from outsiders. Buterin says the technology remains far from practical because current […]

Highlights: Ripple plans to make the XRP Ledger quantum-ready by 2028, with testing starting in 2026. The company warned that long-term quantum risks could threaten crypto assets held untouched for years. Ripple’s four-phase roadmap covers risk study, testing, and a […]

Highlights: Bitcoin developers proposed BIP-361 to move users away from quantum-vulnerable wallet address formats. The plan gives users years to shift funds before older Bitcoin formats stop working. Developers say early action matters as quantum research advances and exposed Bitcoin […]

Highlights: Grayscale says Bitcoin’s quantum risk is more about community agreement than software weakness. The firm says Bitcoin has technical strengths and no immediate quantum threat today. Grayscale urges blockchains to prepare early for post-quantum upgrades before risks become serious. […]

Highlights: Caltech and Oratomic said useful quantum computers may need far fewer qubits than earlier estimates suggested. The study says practical quantum machines could arrive before 2030 if engineering progress continues. Faster quantum progress is raising fresh concerns about Bitcoin […]

Highlights: Google warned that quantum computers may break Bitcoin-era encryption sooner than many in crypto expected. The company urged blockchain developers to begin shifting toward post-quantum security standards now. Google said Bitcoin is not at immediate risk, but future transaction […]

Highlights: Google plans to complete its shift to post-quantum cryptography by 2029. The company warned that quantum threats are getting closer and should not be ignored. Google said attackers could steal encrypted data now and decrypt it later. Google has […]
