Private keys are the ultimate control of your crypto. This article explains how they work, their relation to public keys, wallet types, and best storage practices to keep your assets safe.
A new report from Quantus warns quantum computing progress is outpacing crypto industry planning, threatening over $2 trillion in digital assets. Lost Bitcoin wallets face permanent exposure, as migration deadlines loom.
BIP 360 proposes a soft fork to add P2MR, a new Bitcoin output type that removes Taproot’s ECC-based key path and keeps only the script tree path as a first step against long-exposure quantum attacks.
BTQ Technologies has launched Bitcoin Quantum, a permissionless fork testnet that replaces ECDSA with ML-DSA and increases block size to 64 MiB. The clean-slate fork aims to provide a testing ground for quantum resistance without affecting the Bitcoin mainnet.
Investor Kevin O'Leary says quantum computing fears are keeping institutions cautious, limiting Bitcoin allocations to about 3%; BTC trades near $68K with weak technicals.
The Ethereum Foundation's post-quantum team launched an official resource hub, aiming for quantum-resistant protocol integration by 2029. SNARK integration is a top priority to prevent performance collapse; securely migrating hundreds of millions of accounts is the real challenge.
Vitalik Buterin said AI is speeding up Ethereum development after a developer used agentic coding to build a 700,000-line client prototype in weeks. He said faster coding must be matched with stronger testing, formal verification, and multi-client validation.
The Ethereum Foundation’s Strawmap roadmap sets five priorities: faster L1 finality, Gigagas L1, Teragas L2, post-quantum security, and protocol-level privacy, with two 2026 upgrades on the schedule.
