Vitalik Buterin’s recent blog post outlines a strategy to address the potential threat of quantum computers to Ethereum’s security. In the event of a quantum emergency where bad actors exploit quantum computers to steal users’ funds, Buterin proposes a hard fork solution to safeguard most users’ assets. He suggests reverting to a previous block to prevent large-scale theft and introducing new transaction types and opcodes to enable secure transactions and account validation in a post-quantum world.

Bitcoin SV (BSV) unleashed a jaw-dropping 65% rally in a single day, leaving onlookers bewildered and market analysts scrambling for explanations. Fueled by a sudden surge in buying pressure from South Korean traders, the once-beleaguered cryptocurrency catapulted from $42 to a dizzying high of $69 before settling back slightly. The unexpected eruption fueled speculation about renewed interest in BSV’s contentious hard fork of Bitcoin and its claims of superior scalability and transaction processing power. However, some remain cautious, attributing the surge to potential market manipulation or short-squeeze dynamics within the Korean exchanges.
