đ¨Â ETHEREUM IN DANGER: Quantum Computing could CRACK $ETH in 2028!!!
Vitalik just dropped a rare warning. He thinks thereâs roughly a 20% chance a real quantum threat shows up before 2030, and heâs pushing Ethereum to prep now, not later.
His point is simple. Quantum doesnât need to break the whole chain. It only needs to break ECDSA, the signature system behind every EOA wallet. Once your public key hits the chain, a future quantum machine could reverse it and steal your funds.
Thatâs why he says the danger window might open sooner than people think. Maybe late 2020s. Maybe around the 2028 election cycle. Not guaranteed, but not sci-fi either.
Vitalikâs emergency plan is wild but logical. Roll back to the last safe block. Freeze ECDSA wallets to stop theft. Move everyone into quantum resistant smart contract wallets using ZK proofs. Batch migrations to keep gas sane.
Itâs a last resort fix, not Plan A. The real strategy is building quantum resistant tools right now. Smart contract wallets. NIST approved post quantum signatures. Crypto agile infrastructure that can swap schemes fast.
The experts donât fully agree on when Q day arrives. Some say 10 to 20 years. Some think high end machines could appear in the late 2020s under aggressive assumptions. Vitalikâs message isnât that danger is here today. Itâs that migrating a global chain takes years, so waiting is the actual risk.
Ethereum doesnât need panic. It needs preparation. And Vitalikâs saying the clock just ticked a little faster than everyone thought. #Ethereum #ETH #Altcoins #CryptoMarketNews #CryptoMarketWatch
