Saw some people panicking or asking about quantum computing's impact on crypto.
At a high level, all crypto has to do is to upgrade to Quantum-Resistant (Post-Quantum) Algorithms. So, no need to panic. 😂
In practice, there are some execution considerations. It's hard to organize upgrades in a decentralized world. There will likely be many debates on which algorithm(s) to use, resulting in some forks.
And some dead project may not upgrade at all. Might be a good to cleanse out those projects anyway.
New code may introduce other bugs or security issues in the short term.
People who self custody will have to migrate their coins to new wallets.
This brings to the question of Satoshi's bitcoins. If those coins move, then it means he/she is still around, which is interesting to know. If they don't move (in a certain period of time), it might be better to lock (or effectively burn) those addresses so that they don't go to the first hacker who cracks it. There is also the difficulty of identifying all his addresses, and not confuse with some old hodlers. Anyway, it's a different topic for later.
Fundamentally:
It's always easier to encrypt than decrypt.
More computing power is always good.
Crypto will stay, post quantum.
🚨 UPDATE: Aster DEX is replacing its monthly 78.4M $ASTER unlock with a staking-only emission model.
The change cuts monthly supply down to just 1.8M–2.25M $ASTER per month.
[Important Notice] Tokenomics Update: Restructuring Ecosystem Emissions
We are replacing the monthly Ecosystem unlock with a staking-only emission model, significantly reducing the amount of $ASTER entering circulation each month.
Previously, 78.4M $ASTER (~1% of max supply) was unlocked monthly on a linear schedule. This mechanism has now been replaced: Ecosystem tokens will only be released as staking rewards, currently at a rate of 450K $ASTER per epoch (weekly), equivalent to 1.8M–2.25M $ASTER per month.
For reference, all Ecosystem & Community tokens unlocked since TGE (Sep 17, 2025) have remained untouched beyond staking rewards. Token holdings can be verified at the public unlock address (0x0A55c740703A11f42803fB1a05ca1F7F89981EA4).
Emission parameters and allocation details are documented on our Staking and Tokenomics pages. Bookmark them to stay up to date!
