Dogecoin Developer Begins Testing Quantum-Proof Transactions on Mainnet

Developers from the Dogecoin Foundation officially start preparations to face the threat of quantum computer technology to network security (12/04). Ed Tubbs, one of the main developers of Dogecoin, stated that the team is currently experimenting with transaction delivery methods resistant to quantum attacks (quantum-proof) on the second-largest Proof of Work-based blockchain.
This testing method involves embedding cryptographic fingerprints into standard Dogecoin transactions using the OP_RETURN column. Through this approach, users will be able to send transactions while marking them as quantum-resistant transactions. Although still in the early experimental phase, Tubbs confirmed that real post-quantum proof is beginning to appear on the Dogecoin mainnet.
This precautionary step was taken following warnings from Google researchers, who stated that future advancements in quantum machines could potentially break the encryption of major crypto assets in a short time. While the Bitcoin and Ethereum communities are still debating the best strategies, Dogecoin developers have chosen to start building a more solid technical foundation early in the crypto industry.#GateSquareAprilPostingChallenge
