#Ethereum's global P2P network dream:
🫧 Efficient discovery
🫧 Stronger security

The reality?? 🫣
💀 75%+ of attempts reach unrelated services
💀 Some poor nodes take dozens of probes per neighbor
💀 A few malicious nodes can slice the network like a birthday cake 🎂

Dr. Ren Zhang (@nirenzang) from our research team just showed how well this works at The Science of Blockchain Conference (SBC'25): https://t.co/i5OHDVPPyk

We've been talking a lot about tech here — Scripts, VM, protocols, optimizations ...
Love that! But builders aren't just commit histories.
That's why we started CKB Builder Story, a small series about the people behind the protocols. 🧑‍💻✨

Our first story features Tea (@teaplusplus11), creator of Quantum Purse (@quantumpurse), the industry's first SPHINCS+-based quantum-resistant wallet.
He has built across ecosystems: EOS, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and now CKB.
Here he shares how he stumbled into CKB, why he decided to stay & build long-term, his appreciation for Proof of Work, and why good architecture + good people matter.

#CKB is designed for cryptographic agility.
The RISC-V–based CKB-VM is crypto-agnostic, allowing future PQC algorithms to be deployed directly without hard forks, while hybrid schemes combining classical and post-quantum signatures ensure backward compatibility and a smooth transition.

[Our Crypto Talk @ourcryptotalk]

Vitalik said quantum computers could crack Bitcoin’s keys by 2028.

Some called it FUD but the threat is real.

These projects are already building solutions :

→ $ZEC ( @Zcash )
→ $STRK ( @Starknet )
→ $CKB ( @NervosNetwork )
→ $QRL ( @QRLedger )
→ $ABEL ( @PQabelian )

They’re not scrambling for emergency hard forks and they already shipped hash-based signatures, lattice crypto, or flexible VMs that let them swap algos like changing a tire.

Zcash has shielded pools that stay hidden even if curves collapse.

Starknet’s STARKs were quantum-safe out the gate.

Nervos can plug in NIST post-quantum sigs tomorrow.

QRL never used vulnerable curves at all.

Abelian went full lattice-based from genesis.

Point is that the quantum cliff isn’t sci-fi anymore. Most of the market is still predicted it to happen by 2035 but 2028 claims make it even more important.

There are chains live right now that won’t even blink when the first cryptographically relevant quantum machine spins up.

To be honest, these projects aren’t “early.”
Everyone else is late.
Choose infrastructure that survives the jump.
