By Hassan Shittu Key highlights: Ethereum researcher Justin Drake urged “bunker mode,” warning that AI-assisted mathematics could potentially break ECDSA “within months rather than years.” Vitalik Buterin agreed but urged against panic, while also warning that lattice-based post-quantum cryptography could itself be vulnerable No evidence exists that ECDSA has been broken, and Drake’s warning is […]

By Hassan Shittu Key highlights: StarkWare cut the estimated GPU computing cost of its Quantum-Safe Bitcoin (QSB) construction 79% from $320 to $67 QSB uses hash-based cryptography instead of ECDSA/Schnorr signatures to protect against Shor’s algorithm attacks on quantum computers No quantum computer capable of attacking Bitcoin exists today, but 6.9M BTC ($586B) sits in […]
