Well, it’s good that someone is drawing a line in the Crypto sand.

Google accelerates its readiness timeline to prepare for “Q-day” with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration to 2029. Reminder: Q-day = the date when quantum computing becomes operational and is powerful enough to break the digital signatures that secure the Internet, crypto (blockchain + Ethereum), and just about every other Information system in use today.

The Bitcoin crypto network relies on ECDSA elliptic curve signatures. https://techaptitude.substack.com/p/ecdsa-cryptographys-role-in-securing With an exposed crypto signature public key, a quantum computer could derive the private key. And then, the crypto assets would be freely available to a hacker.

Android 17 will integrate ML-DSA, an algorithm standardized by the NIST to secure digital signatures. https://security.googleblog.com/2026/03/post-quantum-cryptography-in-android.html

Vitalik Buterin suggests that Ethereum
will be ready for the on slot of quantum computing suggesting a quantum machine could break blockchain cryptography between 2030 and 2035. The Ethereum Foundation is working to integrate zkEVM ( Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) within layer 1, within twelve months.

Interesting name for a blockchain focused on managing privacy.

Brought to you from the creators of Cardano, the Midnight network supports the notion that privacy shouldn’t be absolute or all-or-nothing—it should be contextual. In theory, users can control and protect sensitive information by default, while enabling the right level of transparency when it’s required. We will see if it survives. https://www.coindesk.com/business/2025/06/23/midnight-network-unveils-night-tokenomics-glacier-drop-airdrop-mechanism
