Watch out Bitcoin devs. Google says post-quantum migration needs to happen by 2029.

The search giant set a corporate deadline to migrate all authentication services to quantum-resistant cryptography, validating the timeline Ethereum has been building toward for eight years. Bitcoin's response so far has been silence.
What to know : Google has set a 2029 deadline to migrate its authentication services to post-quantum cryptography, signaling that quantum threats to current encryption and digital signatures are approaching faster than many in crypto once assumed. Ethereum has spent eight years preparing a detailed, multi-fork roadmap for post-quantum security and is already running weekly test networks, while Bitcoin has no coordinated plan, funding structure or agreed timeline for a similar migration. Security experts and even prominent Bitcoin advocates now broadly agree that elliptic curve cryptography will be broken by quantum computers in the medium term, raising doubts about whether Bitcoin’s slow, decentralized governance can adapt in time.(Coindesk)
