At a series of developer meetups and workshop sessions early this year, Ethereum’s core contributors signaled a major shift: defending against the future isn’t optional anymore. Post-quantum security — once a back-burner research topic — has become a top strategic priority for the Ethereum Foundation and its ecosystem. That means real teams, real roadmaps, and…
Anthropic on Tuesday formally unveiled Claude Mythos Preview, a new frontier AI model that can autonomously discover and exploit zero-day software vulnerabilities at a scale the company says exceeds both human security researchers and every automated tool in existence. Alongside it, Anthropic launched Project Glasswing, a defensive coalition with roughly 40 organisations — including Apple,…
Bitcoin slid below $70,000 on Tuesday for the first time since April, touching an intraday low near $67,300 and extending a grind that has now erased roughly 45% of the asset's value since its $126,198 record last October. ZCash meanwhile, continues to outperform. Zcash is rising, but the Bitcoin selling is the familiar kind —…
Google's latest quantum computing project, Willow, has catapulted the tech giant to the forefront of computational prowess. This 105-qubit chip has demonstrated the ability to perform complex calculations in under five minutes—a feat that would take the world's fastest supercomputers an unfathomable 10 septillion years. This leap in performance isn’t just about raw speed; it’s…
A Small Demonstration With Large Implications A quantum computer has broken a 15-bit elliptic-curve cryptography key, a simplified version of the kind of cryptographic system used to secure Bitcoin, Ethereum, and much of the digital asset economy. The result was announced by quantum security firm Project Eleven, which awarded its one Bitcoin “Q-Day Prize” to…
Advancements in quantum computing have sparked both excitement and apprehension in the tech world, particularly for the cryptocurrency space. While concerns about quantum technology’s ability to compromise cryptographic security abound, experts argue it could ultimately fortify Bitcoin’s network in the long run. Quantum computing’s unparalleled processing power stems from its ability to perform calculations at…
Ripple’s escrow accounts are among the wallets that may not be as protected as they appear. A new breakdown of every account on the XRP Ledger found that multi-signature wallets — including those tied to Ripple — hold 36.60 billion XRP, or over 36% of the total supply, but are not automatically shielded from future…
