CoinVoice has recently learned, according to a report by Decrypt, that Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson warned that quantum-resistant encryption schemes have already been standardized by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2024. However, without hardware acceleration support, their computational costs and data scale will significantly reduce blockchain throughput, potentially leading to about an order of magnitude performance loss.

He pointed out that to assess whether the risks of quantum computing have entered a usable stage, more reference should be made to DARPA's quantum benchmarking program, which aims to evaluate the feasibility of practical quantum computing by 2033. [Original link]
