CEO da StarkWare alerta que ameaça quântica está próxima; STRK sobe 20% em dois dias

A StarkWare afirmou no domingo que seu CEO acredita que a ameaça quântica à criptografia de blockchain pode estar mais próxima do que o esperado, prolongando a alta do STRK pelo segundo pregão consecutivo. Principais conclusões O plano da Starknet de buscar o status de Layer 1 havia impulsionado o STRK em cerca de 20% antes das declarações da StarkWare sobre computação quântica Nenhum computador quântico atual tem qubits estáveis suficientes para quebrar as assinaturas do Bitcoin ou do Ethereum A Starknet usa provas de conhecimento zero para agrupar milhares de transações em uma única prova enviada ao Ethereum

StarkWare said Sunday its chief executive believes the quantum threat to blockchain cryptography may be closer than expected, extending STRK’s rally into a second straight session.
Key Takeaways
Starknet’s plan to pursue Layer-1 status had lifted STRK roughly 20% before StarkWare’s quantum comments arrived
No quantum computer today has enough stable qubits to break Bitcoin or Ethereum signatures
Starknet uses zero-knowledge proofs to bundle thousands of transactions into a single proof submitted to Ethereum
NIST finalized its first post-quantum cryptography standards in 2024
The comment, attributed to StarkWare’s chief executive, spread through crypto trading channels within the hour after STRK had already climbed through Saturday on separate news that Starknet wants to become an independent Layer-1 blockchain rather than remain a Layer-2 network dependent on Ethereum (ETH) for settlement.
A report tracking Sunday’s session said the quantum comments extended that rally into a new catalyst.
For independent builders, this is not a new protocol capability they can run.
The practical question is whether Starknet publishes a migration path that wallets, exchanges and other infrastructure can support, including the protocol changes needed for users to move keys at scale.
Why The Quantum Threat Matters For Blockchain Keys
Quantum computers exploit a different kind of math than the chips in laptops and phones. Today’s blockchain signatures rely on elliptic curve cryptography, a method that is effectively unbreakable for classical computers but theoretically vulnerable to a sufficiently powerful quantum machine running Shor’s algorithm.
No quantum computer today has enough stable qubits to break Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum signatures, but researchers have steadily cut the qubit count needed for such an attack.
StarkWare’s warning fits a pattern of blockchain infrastructure teams moving the quantum threat timeline forward rather than treating the risk as decades away.
Starknet uses zero-knowledge proofs, a cryptographic method that lets a network verify a transaction is valid without revealing the underlying data, to bundle thousands of transactions into a single proof submitted to Ethereum. The proofs and wallet signatures present different cryptographic considerations, but any practical move to post-quantum signatures would still require coordinated upgrades across wallets, exchanges and the base protocol.

For builders, the quantum threat is less a token catalyst than a compatibility problem, protocol upgrades need wallet and exchange support before users can migrate keys at scale.
A Token Already Climbing Before The Warning Landed
Starknet’s weekend announcement that it intends to pursue Layer-1 status, settling transactions without routing through Ethereum, had already lifted the token roughly 20% before StarkWare’s quantum comments arrived.
That earlier shift would reduce fees Starknet pays to Ethereum but also gives up Ethereum’s security guarantees, a trade-off that split reaction among traders watching the token.
StarkWare’s quantum remarks landed a day later, adding a second catalyst to a token already in an active news cycle.
Starknet ranks 87th by market capitalization on CoinGecko, a mid-tier position that makes it more sensitive to single-catalyst price swings than top-10 assets.
What A Credible Quantum Threat Timeline Would Change
No regulator or standards body has set a binding deadline for blockchain networks to adopt quantum-resistant signatures. The National Institute of Standards and Technology finalized its first post-quantum cryptography standards in 2024, giving infrastructure builders a reference point but not a mandate.
The test for StarkWare’s warning will be whether it publishes a concrete migration roadmap and whether rival Layer-2 teams echo the urgency or push back on the timeline.
If major exchanges start requiring post-quantum wallet support as a listing condition, that would mark the shift from theoretical warning to operational requirement.
