Bitcoin’s new quantum defenses, 18.9M SOL cancelled: Hodler’s Digest

Bitcoin moves toward a post quantum future, Solana validators agree to curb rampant inflation and the bull case from Bernstein is for Bitcoin to peak at $500K this cycle.

The top 3

  1. Top 3 Cryptographic Algorithms Most Vulnerable to Quantum Attacks: RSA, Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), and Diffie-Hellman key exchange are the primary public-key algorithms at risk, as Shor's algorithm can theoretically break them by efficiently factoring large numbers or solving discrete logarithm problems.
  2. Top 3 Quantum-Resistant Cryptographic Approaches: Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) research focuses on new mathematical problems to secure data against quantum attacks, with leading approaches including lattice-based, hash-based, and code-based cryptography.
  3. Top 3 Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has finalized three key post-quantum cryptographic standards: ML-KEM (Key-Encapsulation Mechanism), ML-DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm), and SLH-DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm), to prepare for quantum threats.
