Quantum security race kicks off as major public blockchains prepare post-quantum defenses

Odaily Daily published an in-depth report assessing quantum computing threats to Bitcoin, Ethereum and other public blockchains and reviewing their post-quantum migration progress. The article says current quantum hardware is not yet an actual threat, but NIST has released post-quantum standards, and chains such as Algorand, NEAR and Starknet have launched quantum-resistant accounts, while Ethereum targets around 2029 and Bitcoin proposals remain at draft stage. Institutions including BlackRock and VanEck have disclosed quantum risks in ETF filings.
