Justin Sun Says Tron Post-Quantum Cryptography Is Live on Testnet
(2 hours ago) · 1 source · Summarized by CryptoBipto
Tron founder Justin Sun announced that post-quantum cryptography features have been deployed on the Tron testnet. The upgrade is intended to protect the network against potential future threats from quantum computing. The feature has not yet been deployed on the Tron mainnet.
WHY IT MATTERS
Most cryptocurrencies use mathematical puzzles called cryptographic algorithms to keep transactions secure. Think of these like very complex locks that protect your funds. Current computers cannot break these locks, but a future technology called quantum computing could potentially pick them open. Post-quantum cryptography is like upgrading to a new type of lock that even quantum computers would struggle to break. Tron says it is testing this upgraded security on a practice version of its network, which is a step developers take before rolling changes out to the real network that people use every day.
