Founder of Solana Warns AI Could Break Post-Quantum Cryptography Schemes
Solana co-founder, Anatoly Yakovenko, considers artificial intelligence (AI) as the biggest imminent threat to cryptocurrency cryptography. He states that AI could crack post-quantum cryptography (PQC) signature schemes before the industry strengthens its security.
Bitcoin developers and analysts are now beginning to agree on the future quantum threat without disrupting Satoshi Nakamoto's ownership.
Yakovenko Advocates Multisig Defense for Post-Quantum Cryptography
Solana's co-founder believes that the industry has not fully understood the mathematical weaknesses or implementation issues of PQC.
He wants wallets to combine multiple signature schemes with a two-out-of-three multisig system. This setup can be natively supported in the Solana transaction processor via Program Derived Addresses.
“In my opinion, the biggest risk is that the PQC signature scheme will be broken by AI. We don't even know all the pitfalls on the implementation side, let alone the mathematics,” Yakovenko said.
Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov once asked whether formal verification could cover these vulnerabilities. However, according to Yakovenko, verification only helps if developers already know exactly what needs to be verified.
He still prefers redundancy with two out of three independent schemes.
Bitcoiners Reach Initial Consensus on Satoshi’s Coins
Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, says a consensus is beginning to form regarding Satoshi’s ownership. He cites several discussions held this week in Las Vegas with skeptics, supporters, and other Bitcoiners.

belonging to Satoshi are spread across approximately 22,000 P2PK addresses, each containing 50 BTC. Thorn explains that a long-range attack would need to break into each address individually. Meanwhile, exchanges could migrate to post-quantum addresses before Q-day arrives.
He adds that the Bitcoin market can typically absorb selling pressure of over one million BTC. This indicates that the network can still withstand worst-case scenarios without
