Cardano's creator weighs in on impending quantum computing risks, shedding light on ADA's potential resilience.

Recently, Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins have been warned that the quantum computing threat poses a significant risk and that urgent action is needed.

While many altcoins have taken significant steps in this regard, the latest announcements have come from Cardano (ADA). Speaking to Gokhshtein News Network, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated that Cardano addressed concerns about quantum computing before they became a direct threat.

Hoskinson said that although some argue that quantum risks will only become apparent many years from now, Cardano disagrees and is already researching quantum-resistant alternatives. At this point, Hoskinson stated that the Cardano network is currently working on a private quantum strategy, and a research proposal focusing on quantum resistance is expected to be presented next week.

Hoskinson actually stated that Cardano could support Bitcoin’s proposed BIP-361 solution to protect the network against quantum threats.

According to Hoskinson, Cardano could adopt a similar approach without much difficulty. He noted that this is essentially a hard fork, and Cardano already regularly implements hard forks.

While altcoins are taking quantum threats seriously, last month Ripple announced a four-phase roadmap aimed at making the XRP Ledger resilient to quantum threats by 2028. *This is not investment advice.
