According to ChainCatcher, citing Decrypt, nine blockchain organizations—including Quantus, Postquant Labs, Midnight Foundation, Keystone, Abelian, and Hacken—have jointly formed the Quantum Alliance to establish an open "quantum-ready" standard and develop a unified methodology for testing the quantum resistance of blockchain networks, wallets, and infrastructure.
Quantum Alliance states that approximately 6.04 million BTC, accounting for about 30% of the Bitcoin supply, are at potential risk from quantum attacks due to exposed elliptic curve signature public keys. The organization will prioritize blockchain migration, post-quantum zero-knowledge systems, wallet security, and cross-chain compatibility, citing recent projections that a practical quantum attack window could emerge as early as 2028.
Nine blockchain companies launch the Quantum Alliance to develop post-quantum standards.
