If quantum "breaks" Bitcoin, it can also kill: • The entire global banking system • SWIFT payment networks • Global stock markets • Military communication systems • Nuclear security infrastructure • Every website relying on HTTPS encryption The entire digital financial system would face a crisis. In other words: I’m buying the crypto dip.

Unlike many networks, Solana users don't need to go into "bunker mode" ahead of an accelerated quantum timeline or classical attack provided by AI. Solana uses Ed25519, where each signing key is derived by hashing a secret seed. Breaking the curve, whether by a quantum computer or a classical attack, would expose the derived key, but not the seed, and seeds are never exposed onchain. With a one-time network upgrade, rightful owners could prove knowledge of their seed using a hash-based proof and move their accounts to a safe signature scheme. A working proof of concept already exists: https://t.co/am2ErkkomT. Solana remains secure today and has a defined path forward.

Cryptography doom == ai doom. It’s fear based on uncertainty from smart people unable to predict the future. It’s not fear based on certainty from smart people with real world repeatable measurements. Fear is a great sales tool though. Wallet devs should be shipping pqc solutions now and establishing the processes of managing those secrets safely and rotating those protocols safely and getting implementation Lindy and robustness under their belt. Thats the great business opportunity underneath all this.

1/ A powerful enough quantum computer could drain your wallet without stealing your seed phrase. The fix: migrate to post-quantum cryptography in time. We’re releasing a crypto-agility table and migration map, showing why some chains face a harder transition 🧵 https://t.co/8udTp3f9sS
