Nine crypto firms launched the Quantum Alliance to develop standards protecting Bitcoin and other blockchains from future quantum computing attacks that could expose secret wallet keys. An estimated 6.4 million Bitcoin, including 1.1 million attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto, have vulnerable public keys, though no current quantum computer can break them yet. Experts disagree on when quantum threats will materialize, with estimates ranging from 2028 to beyond 2035. The alliance aims to create quantum-resistant security measures, but debates continue over whether to freeze or move vulnerable coins, as any changes require broad consensus across the Bitcoin ecosystem to maintain its core principles.
The Quantum Alliance's effort to protect vulnerable Bitcoin from quantum computing threats is notable.
