As reported by Cryptofrontnews, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has warned that quantum computers could break the network's cryptographic base sooner than expected. Developers are now exploring quantum-safe methods to address public-key exposure, a major security concern. The Ethereum team is preparing several defensive options, though details remain undisclosed. The warning highlights the need for early preparation, as quantum advancements could threaten the network's long-term security. Other blockchain networks, including Bitcoin, may also need to plan for similar upgrades if quantum progress accelerates.
