[Report: Quantum Computing May Threaten Bitcoin Encryption Systems as Early as 2030]
Deep Tide TechFlow reports, on May 7, according to The Block, quantum security startup Project Eleven released its latest report indicating that the breakthrough of quantum computers over modern encryption technology, known as 'Q-Day,' could arrive as early as 2030, with a probability of occurring before 2033 'likely exceeding 50%.' The report warns that the advancement of quantum computing capabilities will not be linear and gradual but rather a 'sudden leap from nothing to everything.' Currently, approximately 6.9 million BTC (valued at over $560 billion) are at risk of quantum attacks under specific conditions.
In response to this threat, several countermeasures have emerged within the industry: Paradigm researcher Dan Robinson proposed using timestamp proofs to help holders recover assets on future quantum-secure versions of the Bitcoin network; the BIP-361 proposal by Jameson Lopp and others suggests establishing a multi-year migration window to guide users in transferring funds to quantum-resistant addresses. Google has also advanced its quantum-resistant encryption migration target to 2029.
