Ethereum Unveils Post-Quantum Security Roadmap For Institutions
Ethereum is beginning to formalize its post-quantum security push in public. ETH Foundation researcher Will Corcoran used a presentation at the Institutional Ethereum Forum in New York to lay out both the threat model and the protocol work already underway. The effort matters well beyond ETH, he argued, because the core bottleneck is not unique […]

In a livestream broadcast titled “Post-Quantum Cardano,” ADA founder Charles Hoskinson laid out a roadmap for making the blockchain quantum-resistant. His remarks come amid rapid developments in quantum computing hardware, including breakthroughs from Microsoft and other tech heavyweights, as well as newly released US government standards for post-quantum cryptography. Hoskinson opened the session by highlighting […]
Federal agencies of the US government are expanding their calls for quantum computing resistant encryption methods. In effect, the National Institute of Standards (NIST) recently announced a request for public-key post-quantum algorithms. This action follows warnings from the National Security Agency (NSA) about the risks of potential quantum-based....
Bitcoin open-source engineer Matt Corallo pushed back on claims that Bitcoin developers are “sleepwalking” on quantum risk, arguing instead that a practical post-quantum roadmap is already taking shape and may be simpler than critics suggest. Speaking on the Unchained podcast episode published Feb. 22, Corallo said the key work can be framed in two main […]
In a discussion with Cardano community member Big Pey, Fergie from Input Output Global’s (IOG) research division revealed the full scope of Cardano’s proposed roadmap through 2030. The plan, spanning nine research areas and 34 workstreams, seeks to establish Cardano as a leading blockchain platform capable of supporting global-scale decentralized applications, advanced tokenomics, and post-quantum […]
According to the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), while quantum computers are incapable of breaking public key encryption algorithms, public and private entities need to prepare for future threats against cryptography that is not quantum resistant. Most of today’s digital communications, including cryptocurrencies, leverage public key encryption and CISA believes when “quantum computers reach higher levels of computing power and speed, they will be capable of breaking the public key cryptography algorithms that are in use today.”
