Solana’s co-founder Anatoly Yakovenek has urged the Bitcoin community to accelerate its efforts to guard against attacks as a whole, focusing that a major volume computation success may be earlier than expected.
“I feel 50/50 for five years, there is a breakthrough,” Yakovenko Says At the All-in Summit 2025, according to a video published on YouTube on Friday. “We should move Bitcoin to a signature scheme that resistant to volume,” he added.
Yakovenko based his prediction of the fact that in so many technologies converting, and how fast AI is accelerating from a research paper to an implementation. “It’s surprising,” he said. “I will try to encourage people to speed things up,” he added.
Experts in cybersecurity say that threats may appear rapidly
It is usually that -forecast that Computers volume will eventually The current encryption is able to crack, making security for users in the blockchain industry. Lots of bitcoin (Btc) Proponents, however, still think that the threat is a long way.
Bitcoin purses are secured by the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm to produce a pair of private public keys.
Their security depends on the difficult to resolve the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem, which is impossible to solve on classical computers, but may not be for computers altogether.
David Carvalho, founder and chief scientist of The Naoris Protocol, recently said In June the quantity computers became advanced that they could “be able to arrange” through Bitcoin’s cryptography for less than five years.
However, upgrading a blockchain from legacy cryptography to post-quantum security will be a challenge as it will need a difficult fork, something against crypto communities.
Bitcoiners are not concerned with the threat
Other bitcoiners do not see the threat nearby.
Blockstream CEO said Adam Back is currently Computer quantities do not place a capti -believable threat In Bitcoin’s cryptography but it is likely to be a threat to the future.
The back estimated that computers volume could sprout in that range in “maybe 20 years.”

Meanwhile, Jan3 founder Samson Mow told magazine in June That he doesn’t care too much about the threat of computing volume.
“I think it’s a real risk, but the timeline is probably still a decade, and I’ll say everything will fail before Bitcoin fails,” Mow said.
