New research and industry timelines are accelerating efforts to replace cryptography that quantum computers could eventually break. The threat of quantum computers to Bitcoin's security has been a longstanding concern, with many experts warning that a powerful enough quantum computer could break the encryption that secures the Bitcoin network. A formal launch of Cloudflare's quantum-safe internet could come within the next three years, with the company likely to begin testing and implementing its new encryption protocols in the coming months.
