EdDSA Chains Dey Gain Edge as Quantum Threats Dey Loom Over ECDSA
Advanced quantum computers dey threaten to break ECDSA-based blockchains like BTC and ETH. One Mysten Labs study find say networks wey dey use EdDSA — like SOL, SUI, and NEAR — no only give better performance now but e also make am easy to migrate to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards. Governments plan to phase out classical algorithms by 2030–35, wey dey increase urgency for big chains to coordinate hard forks, wallet migrations, and code overhauls, all of which get high operational risks. Instead, modular design and natural resistance to nonce reuse make EdDSA chains better positioned for smooth post-quantum cryptography upgrades. Traders suppose dey watch quantum threat readiness when dem dey evaluate long-term investments, although immediate market impact fit small.

As quantum wahala dey make urgency dey for blockchain networks, di complexity and long time wey e dey take for hard forks plus wallet migration for ECDSA-based chains like BTC and ETH mean say price no go too shake sharp sharp. Traders go likely hold their positions, so di market short-term go calm. For long term, di networks wey start to use post-quantum cryptography early—especially di EdDSA-based chains—fit get better chance, fit attract more institutional interest and investment. But, di transition process sef get technical and coordination risks wey fit cause small occasional volatility, balance di whole market effect to neutral.
