πŸš€ Google's Quantum AI Team Highlights Cryptography Vulnerability in Bitcoin and Ethereum

Google's Quantum AI team has released a new whitepaper indicating that breaking the cryptography used by Bitcoin and Ethereum may require fewer than 500,000 physical qubits, a figure significantly lower than the millions often cited in recent years. According to NS3.AI, Google researchers suggest that a prepared attacker could complete the final step in approximately nine minutes after a Bitcoin public key appears in a live transaction, compared to the roughly 10 minutes needed for confirmation.

The researchers also pointed out that Taproot, a Bitcoin upgrade, may increase exposure because it makes public keys visible by default. The paper estimates that approximately 6.9 million Bitcoin are stored in wallets with exposed public keys, potentially heightening vulnerability to quantum attacks.

πŸš€ Bitcoin's Quantum Threat Misunderstood, Says OneKey Founder

OneKey founder Yishi recently addressed misconceptions regarding the so-called 'Google 2029 deadline' for quantum computing. According to PANews, Yishi clarified that this internal migration target is unrelated to when Bitcoin might be compromised by quantum computing, and linking the two is misleading.

Yishi refuted claims that 6.26 million BTC are at risk, explaining that only early P2PK addresses with long-exposed public keys are vulnerable. Standard addresses, if not reused, do not expose public keys, making the risk assessment exaggerated.

He further emphasized that Bitcoin relies on signatures rather than encryption, eliminating the possibility of a 'store now, break later' attack. Current quantum devices possess only a few thousand noisy qubits, whereas breaking ECDSA would require millions of stable qubits.

Yishi acknowledged the reality of the quantum threat but noted it is not imminent. The Bitcoin community is already advancing post-quantum cryptography solutions, and there is no need for panic.

πŸš€ Google’s Quantum Whitepaper Reignites Crypto Security Debate, Drawing Responses From CZ and Elon Musk

Google’s latest research has revived debate over crypto security, suggesting quantum computers may need far fewer resources than previously thought to break the cryptography used by blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The study estimates that fewer than 500,000 physical qubits could crack the 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography widely used across the industry β€” a 20-fold drop from earlier estimates.The paper also describes a theoretical scenario in which a sufficiently advanced quantum computer could derive a Bitcoin private key in as little as nine minutes, creating the possibility of an β€œon-spend attack” in which an attacker exploits a public key exposed during a transaction and potentially steals funds within Bitcoin’s roughly 10-minute block window.Responding to the news, Binance co-founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) said there is β€œno need to panic,” arguing that crypto networks can ultimately upgrade to quantum-resistant algorithms. Still, he cautioned that implementation will be difficult in decentralized systems, with debates over standards, possible forks, wallet migrations for self-custody users, and the risk of new bugs during upgrades.CZ also raised the question of dormant coins, including Satoshi Nakamoto’s holdings, suggesting the industry may eventually need to consider how to keep such addresses from becoming targets for future attackers. His broader view remained optimistic: crypto, he said, will endure in a post-quantum world.Elon Musk offered a lighter take, joking: β€œOn the plus side, if you forgot the password to your wallet, it will be accessible in the future.”

πŸš€ Google Quantum AI Warns of Potential Ethereum Vulnerabilities

A recent whitepaper from Google Quantum AI has highlighted potential risks to Ethereum posed by future quantum computers. According to NS3.AI, the document outlines five methods through which a quantum computer could potentially compromise Ethereum, endangering over $100 billion in assets at current valuations. Google estimates that the top 1,000 Ethereum wallets, holding approximately 20.5 million ETH, are at risk due to the exposure of public keys following transactions. Additionally, the paper notes that around 37 million ETH staked in validator signatures could be susceptible to breaches by a sufficiently advanced quantum computer.

πŸš€ Caltech Researchers Propose Efficient Quantum Computer Design

Caltech researchers have proposed a new design for a functional quantum computer that could significantly reduce the number of qubits required. According to NS3.AI, the researchers suggest that a quantum computer could be built with 10,000 to 20,000 qubits, rather than the millions previously thought necessary. The proposed neutral-atom error-correction architecture could encode each logical qubit using as few as five physical qubits, potentially making quantum computing more feasible and efficient.
