Quantum computing is advancing fast and with it comes a serious risk: the ability to break today’s encryption methods like RSA and ECC. What once felt like a distant threat is now becoming a near term reality. @quipnetwork is built to solve this problem. It acts as a quantum secure layer that integrates directly with existing blockchains, wallets, and protocols helping protect digital assets without requiring users to switch systems. What Makes Quip Different? Adds post quantum security on top of current infrastructure Works seamlessly across multiple networks Helps distribute and reduce the cost of potential quantum attacks Supports decentralized quantum computing workloads At its core are QUIPs (Quantum Unit Interlock Pathways) a system that enables secure, cross network transactions and programmable value flows. Quantum breakthroughs from companies like Google and Microsoft show that this shift is closer than expected. Quip Network is preparing for that future before it arrives.

New on Xmarket: KOSPI above 5850 by April 15? Will KOSPI keep pushing higher and close above 5850, or lose momentum before mid-April? 👇Trade the outcome xmarket.app/markets/will-t…

Some people wait… others position early. I’ve been paying attention to $ION, and the shift is clear from just posting to actually owning value. Not hype, just a different model. That’s what Ice Open Network is building. @ice_blockchain @BingXOfficial #BingXBlast Gm legend

Sleep peacefully, @Nasun_io fam You've done enough for today. Tomorrow is a new chance to shine even brighter. Good night

Today, Google Quantum AI published a research paper that might boost the post-quantum migration. Their team has tailored Shor’s algorithm to solve the 256-bit Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem. ECDLP is the hard mathematical problem that secures ECDSA: the signature scheme underpinning most blockchains, TLS certificates, and countless authentication systems, using fewer than 1,200 logical qubits and 90 million Toffoli gates. Translated to hardware: fewer than 500,000 physical qubits, executing in a few minutes. A few minutes. Less than a Bitcoin block time. Less than two Ethereum epochs. The long-standing argument that public keys can simply remain hidden is now moot (In fact, it has always been x.com/P3b7_/status/1…). What exactly changed Shor's algorithm has been known since 1994 as a generic quantum approach to factoring integers and computing discrete logarithms. But "known" and "practical" are very different things. The real progress is in the engineering: how many qubits and gates you actually need once you compile the algorithm into a fault-tolerant quantum circuit. The last breakthrough by the INRIA Rennes team required ~2,100 logical qubit count for ECDLP. Google's engineers optimized the full circuit stack to ~1,200 logical Qubits. The recent algorithmic trendline is clear: every 12-18 months, the resource estimates drop significantly. And these are pure algorithmic gains: they compound on top of hardware improvements, which remain a major challenge. However, as of today, we're still far from having such a quantum computer. This didn't change. Zero Knowledge Proof Here's where it gets interesting. Google chose not to publish their optimized circuits. Instead, they released a zero-knowledge proof that their circuits achieve the claimed resource counts. We have no doubt they know how to do it, but no clue how (sounds magic ;-)) The reasons are likely multiple: competitive advantage, national security implications, or simply not wanting to hand a blueprint to adversaries. Regardless, it establishes a powerful (and elegant) precedent. What’s ironic: Google's ZK proof is not itself post-quantum secure. What’s next? The good news is that we already have the tools: Post Quantum Cryptography, now we need to migrate. A few days ago, Google announced it is targeting 2029 for full post-quantum readiness. NIST plans to deprecate RSA signatures by 2030 and disallow all legacy algorithms by 2035. Most organizations haven't started their cryptographic inventory. Major blockchain protocols are currently discussing the path forward. Cryptography exists to create mathematical trust in the security of systems. That trust is now being eroded, not by a working attack, but by the increasingly credible prospect of one. In security, the moment you start doubting the foundation is the moment you should be rebuilding it. What this means for blockchains For blockchain ecosystems specifically, the threat is central. ECDSA on secp256k1 (Bitcoin) and P-256 curves (broadly used elsewhere) is the cornerstone of security. Unlike traditional systems where you can rotate certificates behind a corporate firewall, blockchain migration requires coordination across decentralized, permissionless networks. This process will likely take time. I'll be diving deeper into the concrete challenges and strategies for PQC migration on blockchains and secure systems at my keynote this Thursday at EthCC conference.
