**Called Threatening, Here’s How to Avoid Quantum Risks on Crypto Wallets**

Quantum computers are said to pose a threat to wallet addresses or wallets storing crypto assets that could be hacked if they emerge.

According to Project Eleven, quantum will detect and store publicly exposed wallet addresses. However, the computer requires months or years to obtain the private key or public key of the crypto wallet.

It is known that the Pay-To-Public-Key-Hash (P2PKH) address type is a commonly used wallet address since the early launch of Bitcoin. This type is already quantum-resistant, but users are required not to reuse the same address.

Next, Pay-To-Witness-Public-Key-Hash (P2PWPKH) is similar to P2PKH, which requires users not to reuse that address. Because if reused, it will be vulnerable to quantum attacks.

Then, Pay-To-Script-Hash (P2SH) and Pay-To-Witness-Script-Hash (P2WSH) are currently the safest wallet addresses. It should be noted that this security applies when the address is not exposed to the public, as there is a possibility for this type to become public.

Thus, crypto market participants are advised to use the latest wallets of various types and never reuse addresses that have been published.
