Naoris Protocol launches quantum-resistant blockchain to address future security threat
Naoris Protocol has launched a new blockchain designed to resist attacks from quantum computers, a technology that could theoretically break current Bitcoin and Ethereum security in the future. Quantum computers operate using different principles than today's computers and could eventually crack the cryptography that secures crypto wallets and transactions. This threat is sometimes called 'Q-Day' by security researchers. Naoris Protocol's blockchain uses quantum-resistant algorithms that should remain secure even if powerful quantum computers are built. While quantum computers capable of breaking current crypto don't exist yet, experts predict they could arrive within 10-20 years. By launching now, Naoris is preparing the infrastructure for a post-quantum era.
Why it matters
Quantum computers might eventually threaten the security of Bitcoin and Ethereum, putting your holdings at risk unless the networks upgrade. Learning about quantum-resistant solutions now helps you understand this emerging security issue and makes you aware that the crypto space is already preparing for it.
