O conselho consultivo da Coinbase publicou um relatório afirmando que a ameaça da computação quântica está próxima, e a indústria de criptografia precisa desenvolver planos de resposta com antecedência

Golden Finance reports that on April 22nd, a 50-page report commissioned by Coinbase states that although current quantum computers are not yet capable of cracking the encryption technologies of networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum, large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers will eventually be built, and the encryption industry must start preparing now. The report was written by an independent advisory committee, including cryptographers and scholars such as Dan Boneh from Stanford University, Justin Drake from the Ethereum Foundation, and Sreeram Kannan from Eigen Labs.
The report states that the estimated time for quantum computers to crack current encryption standards ranges from several years to over ten years. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends migrating to post-quantum cryptography before 2035, but the report considers this timeline potentially optimistic. Currently, post-quantum cryptography exists and is being standardized, but post-quantum digital signatures could be tens to hundreds of times larger than existing signatures, potentially increasing block size by up to 38 times and bringing challenges such as wallet migration. The Ethereum Foundation has proposed post-quantum digital signature schemes, and projects like Solana are also testing post-quantum wallet designs. The report suggests adopting flexible transition strategies such as hybrid systems to avoid sacrificing current security while preparing for future upgrades.
