Solana Co-Founder Urges Bitcoin to Fortify Against Potential Quantum Computing Risks by 2030
In a recent address at the All-In Summit 2025, Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, highlighted a pressing concern for the Bitcoin network regarding the future threat posed by quantum computing. Yakovenko posited that developers need to start planning for significant upgrades to Bitcoin’s security infrastructure to counteract potential vulnerabilities emerging from advancements in quantum technology. Yakovenko stated that there exists a “50/50” chance that by 2030, quantum computers could achieve the capability to compromise Bitcoin’s existing cryptographic defenses, particularly those protecting user wallets. “We should migrate Bitcoin to a quantum-resistant signature scheme,” he urged, emphasizing the urgency of this transformation.
