Opinion: Quantum computing may crack the Bitcoin algorithm within three years
According to ChainCatcher, Quantum Doomsday Clock indicates that quantum computing may break the Bitcoin encryption system on March 8, 2028. Research points out that breaking ECC-256 requires only 1,673 logical quantum bits, while RSA-2048 requires 2,314.
Michael Osborne, CTO of IBM, stated that quantum risks are growing faster than expected, and IBM's Starling project plans to build a fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029. Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko warned that blockchain networks must migrate to quantum-resistant encryption technologies within five years.
