Quantum-proof blockchain: why math, not machines, holds the key
lockchains don’t need quantum computers to be quantum-safe, argues Optimum co-founder and MIT professor Muriel Médard. Classic math already gives us the tools.

Claude’s Fable 5 just solved an 87-year-old math problem, and it matters for bitcoin
But the larger pull is simpler: AI is where the speculative money and investors’ attention are now going. The capital that once chased crypto is now chasing compute, chips and model builders, and every leap in what these systems can do widens that appeal. Each… Read More
Bitcoin might be at risk from a new quantum math trick that breaks digital ownership
Not everything in bitcoin is at risk from a quantum computer. Bitcoin mining, the process by which new blocks get added to the blockchain, uses a type of math called hashing that quantum computers cannot meaningfully break. The ledger itself and the rule that new… Read More
