According to Foresight News, Safeheron's Chief Scientist Max has stated that Google's newly introduced quantum chip, Willow, currently does not pose a threat to classical cryptographic challenges and, consequently, does not endanger blockchain security. However, Max highlighted that within the next decade, quantum computing might approach a critical point where it could potentially threaten traditional cryptography.
Safeheron is proactively collaborating with academic institutions to research quantum-resistant algorithms. Max emphasized the importance of the blockchain community preparing in advance for the technological disruptions that the quantum era might bring. He urged stakeholders to consider the potential impacts and begin developing strategies to safeguard against future quantum computing advancements that could compromise existing cryptographic systems.
