Tether CTO突出显示比特币的量子计算风险

Tether Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Paolo Ardoino has sparked discussion within the cryptocurrency community over the long-term risks that quantum computing could pose to Bitcoin's security.

Tether首席技术官（CTO）Paolo Ardoino在加密货币社区中引发了讨论，量子计算可能会构成比特币安全性的长期风险。

In a series of recent statements, Ardoino highlighted that while quantum computing does not pose an immediate threat to Bitcoin, its advancement could eventually enable the recovery of Bitcoin that is trapped in lost or inactive wallets. This includes the estimated 1.1 million BTC that is linked to Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

在一系列最近的陈述中，Ardoino强调说，虽然量子计算不会对比特币构成直接威胁，但其进步最终可以使被困在丢失或无活动钱包中的比特币的恢复。这包括估计与比特币的假名创作者Satoshi Nakamoto相关的110万BTC。

“Quantum computing is still very far from any meaningful risk of breaking Bitcoin cryptography. Quantum resistant addresses will eventually be added to Bitcoin before there is any serious threat. All people alive (and that have access to their wallets) will move…,” said Ardoino on Feb. 8, 2025.

“量子计算仍然远离破坏比特币加密的任何有意义的风险。在面临任何严重威胁之前，最终将添加量子的地址。所有活着的人（并且可以使用钱包）将移动……” Ardoino在2025年2月8日说。

Quantum computers leverage quantum mechanics to solve complex problems exponentially faster than classical computers. Their ability to crack elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) could enable them to expose private keys from public addresses, especially for inactive wallets where the keys have remained unchanged.

量子计算机利用量子力学比古典计算机更快地解决复杂问题。他们破裂椭圆曲线密码学（ECC）的能力可以使他们能够从公共地址暴露私钥，尤其是对于钥匙保持不变的不活动钱包。

Ardoino stressed that Bitcoin's current cryptographic defenses are still secure, but he warned that “any Bitcoin in lost wallets, including Satoshi’s if he is not alive, will be hacked and put back in circulation” once quantum technology matures.

Ardoino强调，比特币目前的加密防御措施仍然很安全，但他警告说：“一旦量子技术，量子技术都会成熟，“丢失的钱包中的任何比特币，包括Satoshi's，如果他还活着，都会被黑客入侵并恢复流通”。

The threat to Satoshi's stash and market stability

对Satoshi的藏匿和市场稳定的威胁

The potential revival of Satoshi's dormant coins has also raised concerns about the stability of the market. Analysts have noted that reintroducing even a small fraction of the 1 million BTC that is linked to Nakamoto could disrupt Bitcoin's supply dynamics, which have been largely predicated on the assumption that lost coins are permanently out of circulation.

Satoshi休眠硬币的潜在复兴也引起了人们对市场稳定性的关注。分析人士指出，即使在与中村相关的100万BTC中，重新引入了一小部分，可能会破坏比特币的供应动力学，这在很大程度上是基于以下假设，即丢失的硬币已永久性地消失了。

“If quantum computers manage to unlock a significant portion of early lost BTC (like Satoshi's stash), it will send the market back to the stone age,” stated pseudonymous trader Crypto Skull, alluding to the potential supply inflation that could arise from such an event.

“如果量子计算机设法解锁了早期丢失的BTC（例如Satoshi的储藏），它将使市场恢复到石器时代，”假名交易者加密颅骨说，这暗示了可能由这种潜在的供应通货膨胀而产生的。事件。

To mitigate this risk, some experts, like Ava Labs co-founder Emin Gün Sirer, have proposed freezing early Bitcoin transactions that used the outdated Pay-to-Public-Key formats, which expose public keys and are more vulnerable to quantum attacks.

为了减轻这种风险，一些专家，例如AVA Labs联合创始人EminGünIrer，提出了冻结使用过时的付费公开键键的早期比特币交易，这些款式暴露了公共钥匙，并且更容易受到量子攻击。

Despite the concerns, Ardoino emphasized that Bitcoin's 21 million supply cap will remain intact regardless of any technological advancements.

尽管有担忧，但阿多利诺强调，无论有任何技术进步，比特币的2100万供应上限将保持完整。

Proactive measures and the path to quantum resistance

积极的措施和量子电阻的路径

The crypto industry is already preparing countermeasures to the quantum threat. As noted by Ardoino, it is likely that Bitcoin will adopt quantum-resistant encryption protocols, such as quantum-safe signatures, before quantum computers become a tangible threat.

加密行业已经在准备量子威胁的对策。正如Ardoino所指出的那样，在量子计算机成为有形的威胁之前，比特币可能会采用抗量子的加密协议，例如量子安全签名。

In such a scenario, active users are expected to migrate their funds to quantum-resistant addresses, while the coins in inactive wallets may remain vulnerable to exploitation by advanced quantum computers. Ardoino's remarks highlight the need for proactive adaptation.

在这种情况下，有效用户有望将其资金迁移到抗量子的地址，而无效钱包中的硬币可能仍然容易受到高级量子计算机的剥削。 Ardoino的言论突出了积极适应的必要性。

“The history of cryptography is one of change and adaptation. We will adapt,” he added.

“密码学的历史是变化和适应之一。我们会适应。”他补充说。
