Ethereum aims to become a quantum-resistant L1 by 2029!
The Ethereum Foundation is targeting December 2029 to bring the network into a state that can withstand quantum attacks on the execution, consensus, and data layers.
Among the 62 proposals for the Hegotá upgrade, two notable priorities are FOCIL to enhance censorship resistance and Frame Transactions to abstract accounts, while laying the groundwork for the post-quantum era.
Hegotá is not yet a “quantum-resistant” hard fork, but it will play an important role in tracking progress. The Ethereum Foundation even wants to prepare for “Q-Day” as early as 2030.
Ethereum’s quantum-resistance race has officially entered the long-term phase.
Hacker Coldcard has transferred 45% of the stolen BTC in Wave 3!
According to Galaxy Research, the attacker has moved 45% of the stolen Bitcoin, equivalent to about 97.09 BTC (~$7.8 million), via THORChain to Ethereum and CoinJoin transactions to conceal the source of the funds.
Notably, the hacker is dealing with the “vaults” with the highest values one by one. Meanwhile, across all the attack waves, around 82% of the stolen BTC remains in addresses controlled by the hacker, while 18% has been moved.
The exploitation stems from a Coldcard firmware vulnerability that has persisted for many years, causing some wallets’ seed phrases to have weak randomness and be susceptible to brute-force attacks.
What is worrying right now is: how many remaining BTC will continue to be laundered through CoinJoin and cross-chain bridges?
