“The next threat that comes after hacking
How does TRON prepare for the quantum era?”
With so many recent hacking news stories,
…the cryptocurrency industry.....
Isn’t it too much!? Is everything okay!?
Even with a bad market, the industry feels nothing short of despair
in terms of ongoing efforts to keep fighting,
Let’s take a look at it 🧑🏫
1. Most recent hacking damages
In 2025, Bybit reportedly suffered losses of about $1.46 billion,
It’s fresh in people’s minds that they were affected by the damage, but
Even in the first half of 2026, which is most recent,
Centered mainly on the losses suffered by KelpDAO and Drift,
Total damage: $972 million, with 207 cases in total.
…cryptocurrency asset hacking occurs.
the highest total ever by number of cases,
It’s already been six months... 😱
2. About hacking methods
The current main targets of attack are
✅ Private key
✅ Signature
✅ Smart contract
✅ Bridge
✅ Front end
✅ Human
Bybit is extremely symbolic.
It was breached using Cold Wallet + Multisig.
An important point is that, in any case,
…it means that the cryptography itself hasn’t been broken.
“Even if you build the strongest safe, if you trick the person who opens the key, it’s over.”
3. About hacking in the Quantum Era
today’s hackers are looking for “weak points other than cryptography.”
While many cases are looking for
In a world where quantum computers have advanced,
“the mathematics that protects the private key itself”
Until now, they were not the target of attacks.
…right down to the “foundation” of Blockchain,
they can become a target of attack.
Even if we learn from these cautionary tales and eliminate human error, the point is that an era is approaching in which the technology itself will be compromised.
if that era arrives without preparation,
The scale of the damage caused by a single attack is
There’s a scary feeling that everything will change.
something that has been caused by human error.
✅ A security incident at a specific company
It doesn’t end there.
✅ The common problem shared by a large number of Wallets that use the same cryptographic method
It’s going to become the case.
4. Preparing for the Quantum Era: TRON
On TRON, right now, quantum-resistance
a shift to quantum-resistant signatures,
Verification is being carried out with the transition in mind.
what is being adopted is
✅ ML-DSA-44
✅ FN-DSA-512
…such post-quantum cryptography technology.
✅ Transaction signature
✅ Block generation
✅ Communication between nodes
✅ Signature verification in smart contracts
…along with everything that makes up the Blockchain,
across multiple layers,
We assume a transition to quantum resistance.
5. Summary
So far, the hacking has been
Weaknesses that exist “outside the realm of cryptography” are
You’ve been targeted.
From now on, while we neutralize those weaknesses one by one,
“The cryptography itself is
A future you’ll be exposed to.”
…also needs to be addressed at the same time.
Once quantum computers
Not only after it becomes a real threat,
Right now, before the threat becomes real,
They’ve started testing and verification.
This is where TRON’s efforts this time come in,
I think that has great significance 🧑🏫
