Vitalik Buterin Warns Quantum Advances May Threaten Ethereum Cryptography Sooner Than Expected

Ethereum quantum risk highlights the vulnerability of the network's elliptic-curve cryptography to future quantum computers, as warned by co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Rapid advancements may enable attacks like Shor's algorithm sooner than expected, necessitating proactive upgrades to quantum-resistant algorithms across the blockchain ecosystem. Vitalik Buterin emphasizes that quantum computing progress could undermine Ethereum's security protocols earlier [...]
