Quantum Computing

The quantum threat is not for tomorrow morning, but recent breakthroughs suggest that the Bitcoin community made the right move to initiate major maneuvers.

Web3 is facing a perfect storm of increasing threats. Phishing attacks have siphoned off more than $341 million in just 300 days, and the imminent arrival of the quantum computing era threatens to render current cryptographic protections obsolete. It is in this context that Naoris Protocol is positioned, developing the first decentralized post-quantum cybersecurity infrastructure designed for blockchain ecosystems.

In June 2025, the quantum industry reached a historic milestone. Oxford University announced a world record with a quantum gate achieving an error rate of only 0.000015%, or one error every 6.7 million operations. A few days later, IBM unveiled its roadmap to a 200 logical qubit quantum computer, named Starling, expected in 2029. Meanwhile, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated that the quantum computing sector has reached an inflection point, heralding a new technological era. In light of this acceleration, a major question arises: Is Web3 ready for the post-quantum world? The reality is more concerning than it appears.

In May 2025, China achieved a major milestone in cybersecurity by making the first encrypted voice call using quantum technology over more than 1,000 km between Beijing and Hefei. This feat relies on a national quantum key distribution (QKD) network covering 16 metropolitan areas, already protecting 500 government agencies and 380 state-owned enterprises. Meanwhile, China unveiled the Tianyan-504, a superconducting quantum computer with 504 qubits, accessible via the cloud and having logged over 12 million connections from 50 countries. These advancements mark a transition from the experimental stage to operational reality, signaling an acceleration towards "Q-Day", the moment when quantum computers will be able to break classical encryptions.

Michael Saylor says fears over quantum computing breaking Bitcoin are overblown. He believes the network can adapt and tech giants won’t risk their own security.

"BlackRock sounds the quantum alarm: is Bitcoin ready?" This phrase resonates as a major warning for the crypto world. The asset management giant reveals a growing threat: quantum computing. This emerging technology could eventually compromise the cryptography protecting Bitcoin. Despite this warning, Bitcoin ETFs continue to attract record inflows, a sign that confidence remains strong. Meanwhile, Naoris Protocol establishes itself as the native post-quantum response, already deployed to protect Web3 and Web2 infrastructures. This advancement prepares the ecosystem for a future where quantum power will no longer be just a theory but a reality.

With the rapid advancements in quantum computing, the threat to traditional crypto systems is now an undeniable reality. The so-called "Q-Day"—the day when quantum computers become powerful enough to break current cryptographic systems—is no longer a distant possibility. For the crypto world, this moment represents an existential threat. How can we prepare for this looming danger? The answer: Naoris Protocol, a cutting-edge solution designed to secure blockchain and Web3 technologies against the post-quantum future.

The quantum computer will pose a big dilemma. What to do with Satoshi Nakamoto's bitcoins and other lost millions of BTC?

"We do not defend nature. We are nature defending itself." This indigenous proverb illustrates the capacity of the natural world to survive crises without seeking absolute optimization. It reminds us that resilience is at the heart of living beings. Nature does not aim for speed or immediate efficiency, but for diversity and adaptation. Certain animal species, in particular, traverse the ages by evolving in response to threats. Similarly, Bitcoin does not rely on instant performance, but on its resilience due to its decentralized architecture. It follows the same laws of nature, being able to withstand multiple attacks and bans. The parallel drawn in this article between nature and Bitcoin raises an essential question about the model to adopt. Should we prioritize efficiency or resilience, in order to ensure the sustainability of a world in constant digital evolution?

A major threat looms over Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet, which could soon lose all its bitcoins, along with many BTC users.

Solana, a blockchain known for its speed and efficiency, has recently achieved a major milestone by becoming resistant to quantum attacks. This advancement was announced by a Solana developer, who explained that the solution is based on an ancient yet extremely robust crypto technique.

Quantum computing is back in the news and rekindles concerns that give us the opportunity to dive deep into the cryptographic underpinnings of Bitcoin.
