🚨 ETHEREUM UNDER THREAT: Quantum Computing Could Break $ETH by 2028!

Vitalik just issued one of his rare warnings — and it’s a big one. He believes there’s roughly a 20% chance a real quantum threat emerges before 2030, and he wants Ethereum preparing now, not when it’s too late.

The danger is simple: quantum computers don’t need to break Ethereum itself…

They only need to break ECDSA, the signature system behind every normal wallet (EOA).

Once your public key appears on-chain, a future quantum machine could reverse it and drain your funds instantly.

That’s why he thinks the risk window might open sooner than people assume — possibly late 2020s, maybe even around 2028. Not guaranteed… but no longer science fiction.

Vitalik’s emergency fallback plan is intense but logical:

• Roll Ethereum back to the last safe block

• Freeze vulnerable ECDSA wallets to stop mass theft

• Migrate everyone into quantum-resistant smart contract wallets using ZK tech

• Batch these moves to avoid insane gas fees

But he’s clear — this is a last-resort contingency, not Plan A.

The real path forward is building quantum-safe Ethereum today:

• Smart contract wallets by default

• NIST-approved post-quantum signatures

• A crypto-agile infrastructure that can upgrade fast

Experts disagree on timing — some say 10–20 years, others warn it could be as early as the late 2020s if progress accelerates. Vitalik isn’t calling for panic. His message is:

Upgrading a global blockchain takes years… so waiting is the real danger.

Ethereum doesn’t need fear — it needs preparation.

And Vitalik is signaling that the clock just sped up.
