[Coinbase Releases Quantum Computing Research Paper: Crypto Industry Needs to Prepare for Security Upgrades in Advance] According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on April 21, Coinbase's Quantum Computing and Blockchain Independent Advisory Council released its first position paper, stating that sufficiently powerful quantum computers could potentially break the encryption mechanisms used by mainstream blockchains to protect digital assets in the future. However, such devices do not currently exist, and crypto assets remain secure for now. The industry should begin preparing for quantum-resistant upgrades starting today. The paper highlights that Bitcoin mining, hash functions, and on-chain historical records currently face no substantial risks, with the primary vulnerability lying in the digital signatures at the wallet layer. Ethereum has already proposed a relatively clear migration roadmap, while Solana, Algorand, and Aptos have also started offering or planning quantum-resistant solutions.
