Frequently Asked Questions
When will quantum computers threaten Bitcoin?
Current estimates suggest that cryptographically relevant quantum computers may emerge within the next 10-15 years. However, recent breakthroughs warrant proactive preparation and migration planning.
Which Bitcoin addresses are most vulnerable?
Early P2PK addresses and any address with exposed public keys (through reuse or transactions) are susceptible to quantum attacks. Modern address formats provide better protection.
What is QDefence doing to address this?
QDefence provides transparent risk monitoring, coordinates industry response, and promotes adoption of quantum-resistant security standards across the digital asset ecosystem.
