I noticed an important warning issued by a prominent leader in the field of cryptography regarding the quantum threat that our industry may face. The issue is very serious, especially when we talk about the security of Bitcoin and other ecosystems in the long term.

The core idea is clear: when quantum computers reach a certain level of maturity, they will be capable of breaking current public key cryptography systems. This is not speculation but a well-known scientific fact, and the community needs to openly acknowledge this reality and seriously move toward post-quantum cryptography solutions.

The proposed plan focuses on five main areas. First, we must understand the current state of quantum technology and possible solutions, then systematically disseminate this knowledge within the community to raise overall awareness. Second, allocate resources and collaborate with specialized cryptography experts, supporting related research and engineering initiatives.

On the technical side, it is essential to heed experts’ recommendations in selecting new algorithm standards for digital signatures and to determine appropriate security levels for hash functions. The final step involves pushing for protocol upgrades at the fundamental level, ensuring full compatibility with infrastructure such as digital wallets.

What’s interesting is that these discussions have started gaining more momentum recently, and it’s not surprising to see such calls for coordinated action. It requires genuine cooperation among various parties in the digital currency ecosystem, from core protocols to wallets and applications. We no longer have the luxury of delay, especially with the rapid development of quantum technology.
