Is Quantum Computing a Threat to Bitcoin? You Can Get Paid to Break Its Encryption

A quantum computing breakthrough could one day undermine the cryptography that secures the Bitcoin blockchain and its nearly $1.7 trillion worth of assets. Now, a BTC bounty is putting that threat to the test. On Wednesday, quantum computing research group Project 11 announced a prize of 1 BTC—currently worth nearly $85,000—for the first team to break a simplified version of Bitcoin’s elliptic curve cryptography, or ECC, using a quantum computer. We just launched the Q-Day Prize. 1 BTC to the...

Winklevoss-Backed Startup Octane Raises Millions to Fight Blockchain Hacks with AI

Despite being built for resilience, blockchain projects remain vulnerable to cyberattacks, especially those targeting individual projects and cross-chain bridges. In recent years, these weak spots have cost the industry billions. A new San Francisco startup, Octane, believes artificial intelligence can help stem the bleeding. In 2024, hackers stole approximately $2.2 billion worth of crypto through exploits. Just four months into 2025, that figure has already nearly been matched, underscoring th...

Bioscience Firm Combines Ancient DNA and Science to Bring Back the Dire Wolf

Colossal Biosciences, a Texas-based genetic engineering company, claimed this week it had “de-extincted” the dire wolf—thrilling scientists and Game of Thrones fans alike. While Colossal said the dire wolves were revived using ancient DNA, how close are they to the real thing? The company makes it clear that they’re not “cloning” in the traditional sense, instead, they’re using genetic engineering and synthetic biology in a process often referred to as “de-extinction” or “genetic rescue.” Coloss...

Bitcoin Developer Wants to Fight Quantum Computing Threat—Before It's a Problem

As quantum computers edge closer to breaking current cryptography, Bitcoin developers are racing to protect the world’s largest cryptocurrency from the unprecedented threat of quantum decryption. One proposed solution, outlined in a recent Bitcoin Improvement Proposal submitted by Chilean technologist Agustin Cruz, calls for a mandatory migration to so-called Quantum-Resistant Address Migration Protocol addresses to ensure long-term protection against future attacks. When you send Bitcoin, you u...

Ethereum's Pectra Upgrade Set for May Following Technical Hurdles

Pectra, one of Ethereum’s largest upgrades since transitioning to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism in 2022, is now set to hit the Ethereum mainnet on May 7. Originally scheduled for a March 2025 release, Pectra was delayed due to finality issues on the Holesky testnet, but has been running without major incident on the Hoodi testnet that was spun up in response to the testnet issues. The upgrade also experienced a minor issue on the Sepolia testnet in early March, but it was later identified...
