Grayscale calls for the early deployment of post-quantum cryptography: Solana and XRP Ledger, among others, are already conducting related experiments.

CoinFeed reported on April 7th that Zach Pandl, research director at Grayscale, stated that although there are currently no large-scale quantum computers capable of running the Schor algorithm, the latest research from Google's Quantum AI indicates that the development of quantum computing may proceed in a "discrete leap" manner, and its realization may be closer than expected. Therefore, public blockchains should begin deploying post-quantum encryption technology as soon as possible. The Google white paper emphasizes that post-quantum encryption technology is already mature, and some blockchains such as Solana and XRP Ledger are already conducting related experiments. The security risks of quantum computing to blockchains vary depending on the architecture. For example, Bitcoin's UTXO model and PoW consensus mechanism make its technical risks relatively low, but the community needs to reach a consensus on how to handle coins with lost private keys.
