Summary

Story summary

The US SEC warns that quantum computing may threaten the security of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets, risking trillions in value.
01 Communique and qLABS have established a quantum-native crypto foundation to create quantum-resistant infrastructure for blockchains.
qLABS aims to implement post-quantum cryptographic technology for scalable blockchain systems.
Initiatives include developing quantum-resistant wallets and stablecoin infrastructure.
Marketing for a quantum-safe wallet will start soon, with a launch expected in Q1 2026.

History

Historical Context

In 2014, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated the development of post-quantum cryptography standards to counteract potential threats from quantum computing. This effort, involving major tech firms like IBM and Google, aims to secure digital assets against vulnerabilities exposed by quantum algorithms, particularly Shor's algorithm, which could compromise widely used encryption methods.
