As per Coinotag, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has warned that quantum computing advancements could threaten the network’s elliptic-curve cryptography sooner than expected. He highlighted that algorithms like Shor’s could enable private key extraction from exposed public keys, risking up to 25% of Ethereum addresses. Developers are prioritizing quantum-resistant upgrades, including lattice-based and hash-based signature schemes, to safeguard the network’s security protocols.
