Ethereum Research Proposal Targets Post-Quantum Wallet Security At Low Gas Cost

A new Ethereum Research proposal is putting post-quantum wallet security back in focus, outlining a practical way to verify quantum-resistant signatures on the EVM without requiring a full protocol-level upgrade. The proposal, published by Ethereum researcher nicocsgy, explores an EVM-optimized version of the SPHINCS+ stateless post-quantum signature scheme. The design aims to make quantum-resistant verification…

Coinbase Council Warns 7 Million Bitcoin May Face Future Quantum Risk

TL;DR Coinbase’s Quantum Advisory Council says post-quantum migration planning should begin before quantum attacks become practical. The report estimates about 7 million BTC are quantum-vulnerable because public keys are exposed through legacy formats or address reuse. About 1.7 million BTC are said to sit in legacy Pay-to-Public-Key addresses, including early mined and potentially abandoned coins.…
