A tenfold efficiency boost sounds scary, but the key details are hidden in zero-knowledge proofs? This operation is quite interesting.

CryptoWorld reports that Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake stated that the Google Quantum AI team's paper on Shor's algorithm, published on March 31, shows approximately a tenfold improvement in attack efficiency on elliptic curve cryptography, using the secp256k1 curve employed in Bitcoin and Ethereum signatures as an example. Drake mentioned that some optimization details in the paper are hidden using zero-knowledge proof methods, and subsequently, French quantum expert André Schrottenloher rediscovered the key optimization. The community-initiated ECDSA Fail challenge also broke records related to Shor's algorithm within a few hours.
