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 crypto asset 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 flaws 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 Solana transaction processors via Program Derived Addresses.

“In my opinion, the biggest risk is that PQC signature schemes will be broken by AI. We don't even know all the traps 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, Yakovenko believes 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 Early 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.

Estimated 1.1 million BTC
BTCUSD
owned by Satoshi is spread across about 22,000 P2PK addresses, each containing 50 BTC. Thorn explains that a remote attack would need to crack 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 the network can still withstand worst-case scenarios without sacrificing core property rights.🎯🔥 Supra Dilemma in Structuring Futures Signals 🔥🎯
The market is in an less-than-ideal condition…

Not unreadable, but difficult to execute ⚖️

⚔️ Two Options That Are Both “Uncomfortable”

🔴 SHORT?

📉 Price is already high

💡 Logically, “it should go down”

But…

🚫 Momentum remains strong

🚫 No valid reversal signs yet

👉 Short = going against the trend 🌊❌

🟢 LONG?

📈 Momentum is still rising

🔥 The trend remains strong

But…

⚠️ BTC is already at 80,000

⚠️ ETH is already at 2,400

👉 Long = chasing the price 🏃‍♂️❌

🧠 Supra’s Decision

❌ Not short

❌ Not long

✅ ABSTAIN

🎯 Why abstain?

📊 No ideal entry point

⚖️ Risk ≈ Reward (imbalanced)

🧩 Structure doesn’t yet give an edge

👉 This isn’t about the direction…

👉 It’s about timing that’s not right yet

⚡ If you still want to enter?

👉 🟢 LONG > SHORT (safer)

Why?

✔️ In line with momentum

✔️ Not fighting the trend

✔️ Risks more controlled

🔥 Closing Supra

Trading isn’t always about entering…

but about entering at the right moment 🎯

Be patient and wait…

usually those who get the best position 😈
