The crypto industry has spent years debating whether quantum computing poses an existential threat to blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Now, researchers and builders believe artificial intelligence may be accelerating that timeline, and forcing a broader rethink of how digital security works altogether. Leaders working on post-quantum cryptography and blockchain security described a rapidly…

AmericanFortress researchers introduced a patent-pending post-quantum signature scheme that could secure the global crypto ecosystem against future quantum attacks without requiring mass fund migrations. According to the company, the breakthrough means even Satoshi Nakamoto’s huge 1.1 million bitcoin stash, alongside nearly 5 million BTC in dormant accounts, can be saved, with a combined value of…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Cryptocurrency exchanges are emerging as the clearest pressure point in Bitcoin’s long-running debate over quantum computing risk, sitting on millions of coins with publicly visible cryptographic keys. Bitcoin quantum risk begins with a fundamental feature of its transaction verification: public keys are hidden until funds are spent. Once a wallet signs a…

Freezing dormant bitcoin BTC$78,114.42 would trigger an immediate repricing and mark one of the world’s oldest cryptocurrency’s worst trading days since its 2009 launch, advocates told CoinDesk. Bitcoin developers and crypto industry participants have debated for weeks whether they should freeze dormant tokens to protect them against the risk of theft through quantum computing, whenever those…

1. Why High-Speed Cables Matter in Electronics Manufacturing Modern electronics manufacturing relies heavily on robotics for: PCB assembly (SMT pick-and-place) Automated optical inspection (AOI) Semiconductor wafer handling Precision dispensing and soldering These applications demand: Real-time vision processing High-speed communication between controllers and sensors Accurate motion…

In the event that quantum computers one day become capable of breaking Bitcoin’s cryptography, roughly 1 million BTC attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of the Bitcoin network, could become vulnerable to theft. At today’s price of about $67,600 per bitcoin, that stash alone would be worth approximately $67.6 billion. But Satoshi’s coins are only part of the story. Estimates circulating…

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is ending the year with major technological developments after a year that saw it gain significant adoption and milestones. On Dec. 24, Denis Angell, a lead software engineer at XRPL Labs, announced the integration of “post-quantum” cryptography and native smart contracts into AlphaNet, the project’s public developer network. The ‘Q-Day’ inevitability Most blockchain…
