Quantum Threat to Blockchain Security Quantum computers, once sufficiently advanced, could theoretically break the cryptographic algorithms that secure most blockchain networks, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. Current public-key cryptography, such as elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA), is vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm, which a powerful quantum computer could use to derive private keys from public ones. $NEAR Protocol’s initiative aims to…
