Friends, In the time since the last Devcon announcement, the state of the Ethereum ecosystem has been electric. We’ve realized critical milestones on the Eth2 roadmap, as well as countless breakthroughs and major progress by teams across the ecosystem. We are incredibly excited to celebrate these achievements with all of you at Devcon in Bogota soon. That said, we need to talk about timing, because we’ve made the difficult decision to hold off on reuniting for a bit longer rather than pushing ahead with our August target (☔️✔). While nothing is guaranteed given the ongoing pandemic, we’re hopeful that a…

So, why do we sound like Willow’s quantum leap matter is not a great development for Bitcoin and blockchain security?  Bitcoin relies heavily on cryptographic algorithms, two in particular: the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and the SHA-256. The ECDSA creates private keys and digital signatures to authenticate transactions, preventing forgery while SHA-256 generates unique hashes for each block, ensuring transaction integrity and making it nearly impossible to alter past transactions. These algorithms are designed to be computationally difficult to crack, ensuring Bitcoin’s security against conventional computing attacks. However, quantum computers, like Willow, have the potential to break these…
