#ETH走势分析 Ethereum is facing an invisible technological race. The shadow of Quantum Computing looms over the entire encryption world, and the time window may be more urgent than everyone expects.



Ethereum co-founder Vitalik recently issued a rare warning: the possibility that Quantum Computing poses a substantial threat to the network before 2030 has reached 20%. Even more dangerously, this timeline could be moved up to 2028 — a year that seems far away, but in fact is only three years away.

The core of the problem lies in the ECDSA signing mechanism. This system supports the security of all external accounts, but it is as fragile as paper in the face of Quantum Computing. Once the public key is exposed on the chain, future quantum devices could theoretically perform a reverse crack, directly emptying wallets. There is no need to break the entire chain; it is enough to tear open this line of defense.

Vitalik's emergency plan sounds like a sci-fi script: a hard fork to roll back to a safe block, mass freezing of traditional wallets, and mandatory migration to quantum-resistant accounts backed by zero-knowledge proofs. But this is just a fallback solution; the real way out is to lay the groundwork in advance - developing smart contract wallets, deploying post-quantum signature algorithms certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and establishing a cryptographic infrastructure that can be quickly switched.

There is a divergence in the industry regarding the timeline of threats. Conservatives believe there is a buffer period of 10 to 20 years, while radical predictions lock the emergence of high-performance Quantum Computing in the late 2030s. However, Vitalik's logic is clear: migrating a global blockchain network requires several years of preparation, and delays are the biggest risk variable.

This is not about creating panic, but rather a wake-up call for the entire ecosystem. The future of $ETH does not lie in reacting after the emergence of Quantum Computing, but in building a defense system now. The starting gun for the technological race has already fired, and the preparation time left for the encryption world may be shorter than everyone imagines.

Here we go again, it's Vitalik, it's Quantum Computing, it's 2028... why does it feel like this has been talked about for many years, and suddenly it has become particularly urgent?

Three years? Damn, this schedule really can't hold up.

Scaring people again? 2028? Bro, I haven't even escaped the high point of 2025 yet. --- ECDSA collapsing is still far off, my Wallet has already been pierced by my own market sentiment. --- Short signals are coming one after another, why do I feel like I'm the biggest risk variable? --- Hard Fork freezing Wallets? Not to that extent, my assets have long been frozen in losses. --- Three years of preparation? Dude, I couldn't even hold my stop loss level from three days ago. --- Quantum threat in 2030, I bet five bucks that the crypto world will self-destruct by 2028. --- Rather than worrying about quantum cracking, why not first figure out why my "high position catch a falling knife method" is so perfect? --- Accounts backed by zk-SNARKs? What I need is zero-knowledge trading rules. --- The technical side is so poor, and you still want to defend against quantum attacks? First, let's save the Candlestick.

Three years? Really, it feels like Vitalik Buterin is starting to scare us again. Why does it feel like there's a new doomsday theory every year? Wait, does this mean I need to quickly switch my Wallet for my Holdings now? Is Quantum Computing reliable? Anyway, I don't understand this technology. I have to listen when Vitalik Buterin speaks, but this is too tense. It's really just telling us not to slack off, right? Transferring assets is so troublesome, can we just withdraw directly?
