Q-Day is imminent. Can Bitcoin survive the quantum threat? Alex Pruden breaks down why Q-Day may be closer than we think, how it could impact Bitcoin and crypto and how Project Eleven is building solutions to ensure crypto survives.
In this Unchained podcast episode, Project Eleven CEO Alex Pruden delves into the urgency of the quantum threat to Bitcoin while highlighting which other blockchains are most at risk. He also shares what Project Eleven is focused on to help crypto prepare and the potential outcomes. Listen to learn why Pruden believes implementing post-quantum cryptography would be the most significant upgrade blockchains have ever undergone and why a Bitcoin chain split is likely.
Q-Day is approaching, and the quantum threat to current cryptography could compromise Bitcoin and other blockchains. Industry voices warn that advances in quantum computing may render traditional encryption vulnerable, accelerating the need for robust post-quantum solutions.
An Unchained podcast interview with Project Eleven CEO Alex Pruden outlines which networks are most at risk and how the company is developing tools to harden crypto systems. Pruden argues that post-quantum cryptography would be the most significant upgrade blockchains have ever undergone, and it could even drive coordinated changes across networks. Recent funding for Project Eleven—$20 million—reflects keen industry interest in quantum-resilient infrastructure as concerns about Bitcoin’s readiness grow. The discussion frames a practical path forward, including cryptography upgrades and contingency planning for major chains.
