In brief
- Ripple will design, build and propose a new amendment to the XRP Ledger ecosystem for native post-quantum cryptography by 2028.
- The plan addresses Google research showing future quantum computers could derive private keys from exposed public keys in nine minutes.
- XRPL supports native key rotation, allowing users to move away from potentially vulnerable keys without changing their underlying accounts.
Ripple announced a multi-phase roadmap Monday to make the XRP Ledger quantum-resistant by 2028, responding to recent Google research demonstrating that future quantum computers may break current blockchain cryptography by 2032.
The company will begin active testing of quantum-resistant cryptography and a hybrid rollout that runs…
