Quantum-Resistant Cryptocurrencies: The Projects Leading the Charge in 2026
In the not-so-distant future, quantum computers could shatter the cryptographic foundations that secure Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most of today’s blockchains. Algorithms like ECDSA, which protect private keys through elliptic curve mathematics, are vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm—a quantum method that could derive private keys from public ones in polynomial time. While experts estimate a cryptographically relevant quantum computer...
