Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson highlighted risks in the cryptocurrency market tied to post-quantum cryptographic schemes standardized by NIST in 2024. He warned that without hardware acceleration, these protocols could slash blockchain throughput by an order of magnitude due to high computational costs and data size. Hoskinson suggested relying on DARPA’s quantum benchmarking program to assess real-world quantum threats by 2033. On-chain data will be key in tracking how these changes affect network performance and security.
