The United States puts 215 million dollars on the table to accelerate the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers. The Department of Energy's goal is to demonstrate machines with hundreds of logical qubits by 2028. For Bitcoin, the news deserves attention. A sufficiently powerful quantum machine could one day attack the signatures that protect certain bitcoin. And this week, an Ethereum researcher added another concern: AI could accelerate the threat even before the arrival of the famous "Q-Day".

Solana is about to complete an acceleration that began in August. The crypto network must reduce its target time between two blocks from 250 to 200 milliseconds during epoch 1053, expected on October 9.
