Quantum computer

In a direct response to the growing "Quantum Anxiety" sparked by recent breakthroughs at Google and IBM, Ripple officially unveiled its Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) roadmap for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) on April 21, 2026.

A fierce philosophical and technical war erupted within the developer community on April 15, 2026, following a controversial proposal by veteran developer Jameson Lopp.

The "Quantum Apocalypse" is no longer a theoretical campfire story for cryptographers.

The government's National Bitcoin Office of El Salvador  has announced a plan to split its existing Bitcoin reserves across multiple new wallet addresses.

A new study by researchers has brought a critical, long-term threat to the forefront of the cryptocurrency conversation: quantum computing.

Due to quantum leaps in e-commerce and ever-changing consumer preferences, there is an increasing adoption and use of decentralized ledger technology (DLT) and blockchain in the online auctions industry.

Companies including Microsoft, IBM and Google, race to come up with cheap and effective mining solutions to improve its cost and energy efficiency. Lots of fuss has been made around quantum computing and its potential for mining. Now, the time has come for a new solution - mining with the help of human body activity.

International Business Machines (IBM), an American multinational information technology firm, has managed to double the power of its quantum computer (QC) but this effort didn’t break the encryption of Bitcoin (BTC), the original blockchain-based cryptocurrency.

The primary feature of blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT) is that its configuration makes it possible to guarantee that the data contained is not subject to third-party tampering, having a key system which enables an almost unbreakable security.
