The post Solana positions itself as leader in quantum threat preparedness appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. On April 27, 2026, the Solana Foundation released a comprehensive quantum readiness roadmap, co-authored with Anza and Jump Crypto’s Firedancer team. The document lays out a concrete strategy for migrating Solana’s cryptographic infrastructure to post-quantum standards, with a particular focus on the Falcon digital signature scheme. Why the urgency matters now A 2026 Google paper estimated that fewer than 500,000 physical qubits would be required to break elliptic curve cryptography, the mathematical foundation securing virtually every major blockchain. That number is significantly lower than previous estimates, which had placed the threshold comfortably in the millions. Nic Carter has put the odds of Bitcoin being vulnerable to quantum attacks by 2035 at 70-80%. The specific vulnerability sits in Ed25519, the elliptic curve signature scheme used by Solana, and variants of the

The post Quantum-Proof Wallets: Crypto Firms Race to Secure Digital Assets Ahead of Protocol Upgrades appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. TLDR: Crypto firms are upgrading wallets to post-quantum MPC signatures before blockchain protocols make the same shift. NIST-approved algorithms like ML-DSA are being evaluated for distributed signing compatibility across wallet systems. Institutions with existing MPC infrastructure can migrate to quantum-resistant wallets through a simple code upgrade. Wallet-level upgrades alone cannot fully protect users if underlying blockchain networks do not follow with protocol changes. Quantum-proof wallets are becoming a priority for crypto companies as the threat of quantum computing draws closer. Firms are now upgrading their wallet infrastructure faster than blockchain networks can update their core protocols. The concern stems from estimates suggesting a “Q-Day” scenario could arrive as early as 2030. One recent report by Project Eleven warns that quan
