【BitPush】Will quantum computing break existing encryption algorithms? This question is no longer science fiction. A company dedicated to addressing this potential risk recently secured funding—Project Eleven completed a $20 million financing round, with the company’s valuation reaching $120 million.

What are they doing? In simple terms, they are developing cryptographic solutions resistant to quantum computing attacks. Currently, public chains and crypto assets use traditional cryptographic algorithms. Once quantum computing matures to the point where it can crack these algorithms, the existing security systems will need to be rebuilt. Project Eleven’s goal is to proactively provide upgrade paths for existing public chains and digital assets, so everyone won’t have to wait until that day truly arrives to respond passively.

In terms of funding scale, investors still have confidence in this direction. After all, this is not just a technical issue but also involves ecosystem migration and security assurance in various aspects.

nah, here we go again... "future-proofing" narrative always hits different when institutional money needs somewhere to go. rinse & repeat from every infrastructure panic cycle since 2015. let me check the charts real quick—yep, this is exactly how the scalability obsession started lmao

The threat of quantum computing is here. It's a bit late to start defending now, brother.

Quantum computing is coming, so we need to stock up on quantum-resistant keys in advance. This is true proactive planning.

honestly? quantum threat feels like the perfect copium for another funding round lol. but also... ngl i've been liquidated enough times to know that ignoring future risks is how you end up homeless. seen too many "secure" wallets get rekt. so yeah, maybe we actually need this? idk man, my leverage ptsd is acting up again

Quantum computing is really here, but to be honest, post-quantum cryptography is still mostly theoretical...

Quantum computing is really coming, and it's a bit alarming, but can pouring 20 million solve it... it's a bit uncertain.

The threat of quantum computing, someone should have taken it seriously long ago, but it's actually surprising that it can be done with only 20 million.
