zero-knowledge proofs research news - Google's Zero-Knowledge Proof Study Sparks Quantum Threat Debate for Blockchain
Blockchain news emerged as Google’s recent study on zero-knowledge proofs reignited concerns about quantum threats to blockchain systems. The research reduced the number of logical qubits required for Shor’s algorithm from 6,000 to 1,200, heightening fears of a quantum attack by 2029. This intensifies the urgency to upgrade blockchain systems with quantum-resistant algorithms, particularly for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Ethereum is already testing post-quantum solutions, while Bitcoin faces challenge
