a16z: No Quantum Computer Threatens Blockchain Security Yet
- Current Quantum Status: a16z states that no cryptographically relevant quantum computer exists today and is unlikely to emerge this decade, indicating that blockchain is not at immediate risk from quantum computing advances.
- Encryption vs. Signatures: While post-quantum encryption requires earlier adoption to counter 'harvest-now-decrypt-later' attacks on long-term secret data, a16z argues that immediate migration to post-quantum signatures is unnecessary since past signatures cannot be retroactively forged.
- Blockchain Risk Assessment: Most blockchains, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, rely on signatures rather than encryption, which reduces the risk of 'harvest-now' attacks, whereas privacy-focused chains like Monero and Zcash face higher quantum risks due to their design choices.
- Implementation Vulnerability Threats: a16z emphasizes that implementation bugs and side-channel attacks pose a greater near-term threat to blockchains than quantum computers, urging caution against overstated fears of quantum threats.
