Cardano joins forces with Ethereum to combat the quantum crisis! Will Web3 undergo a major reshuffle of identity systems?
While most projects are still indulging in short-term narratives, the Cardano Foundation has quietly laid the groundwork for the next revolution — the quantum-safe identity wallet has officially been released, directly targeting the existential threat quantum computing poses to traditional encryption. Mainstream algorithms like RSA and ECC are rendered ineffective in the face of quantum computing, while Cardano chooses to wield “Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)” as its weapon, seizing the initiative.
More significantly, this time, the Ethereum Foundation is also involved. The two are collaborating to build a “quantum-safe internet,” attempting to establish new defenses for the entire digital infrastructure. Is it collaborative innovation, or is there a hidden power struggle? This is worth attention.
Additionally, Charles Hoskinson has made bold claims — Cardano will unlock Bitcoin DeFi, and through a no-token UTxO structure and institutional-grade smart contracts (Aiken), will release important demonstrations at next month’s BTC conference. He claims: the goal is to achieve a 10-fold increase in TVL, accommodating billions in liquidity!
Cardano is transitioning from “undervalued” to “critical infrastructure,” and quantum safety, along with cross-chain DeFi, may become the true catalyst for its takeoff. The question arises: Are the ETH and BTC communities really ready?
