Quantum achievements in computing in 2025 raise serious concerns about blockchain security. New technologies threaten established encryption methods, potentially rendering existing systems vulnerable.
Quantum Computing Threats to Blockchains
In 2025, Japan unveiled a 256-qubit superconducting computer, followed by China activating a system with over 1000 qubits. Notably, a Chinese team claimed to have successfully attacked RSA encryption using a quantum computer. This could render classic cryptographic systems, such as RSA and ECC, obsolete, with attacks known as 'harvest-now, decrypt-later' posing threats to data security.
Issues with Post-Quantum Solutions
Many blockchains are attempting to implement post-quantum layers, but such migration faces serious problems, including incompatibilities between old and new signatures, the need for wallet migration, risks of forks, and liquidity fragmentation. Attempts to shift cryptographic methods in existing systems can lead to weakened security instead of strengthening it.
Naoris Protocol's Response
Naoris Protocol offers an alternative approach, natively designed for the post-quantum era. It includes an architecture that secures both immediate and traditional infrastructures using post-quantum standards like Dilithium-5. Every device in the network validates its integrity in real-time, providing an additional layer of security and trust across the system.
Advancements in quantum computing represent a new threat to existing cryptographic structures. Amidst this threat, Naoris Protocol presents itself as an innovative solution capable of protecting both Web3 and traditional services.
