Aptos warns the quantum threat is closer than commonly thought
- —Aptos adopted AIP-137 with post-quantum signatures based on the NIST standard
- —The upgrade is optional: wallet addresses and assets remain unchanged
- —Coinbase named Aptos one of two L1s ready for post-quantum protection
- —Google Quantum AI: quantum computers will break cryptography sooner than estimated
Why it matters: Most networks have yet to propose concrete post-quantum upgrades, and Aptos could gain an edge as institutions make the transition.
