Ledger CTO Charles Guillemet stated that he disagrees with the view that "only about 30% of BTC faces quantum computing risks, while the remaining approximately 70% is secure due to public key hashing."Glassnode data shows that currently about 30.2% of BTC has exposed spending public keys on-chain, but Guillemet pointed out that this only reflects the static state on-chain; unexposed public keys may still exist in xpub, devices, PSBT, logs, or backups; and once a BTC transaction is initiated, the public key will be revealed before the transaction is confirmed.Guillemet cited research from Google Quantum AI stating that under currently non-existent high-speed quantum computer models, attacks on secp256k1 could be completed in about 9 minutes. Therefore, simply hiding public keys cannot solve the quantum risk, and Bitcoin will ultimately need to migrate to post-quantum cryptography.

On Monday, the oracle network Chainlink released the cross-chain interoperability protocol CCIP 2, making significant upgrades to its communication and cross-chain bridge infrastructure. The new version allows enterprises to add their own security verification checks on top of Chainlink's default network of 16 independent node operators. Enterprises can run their own validators or hire external service providers such as Infosys and Nethermind. Chainlink stated that users should not be forced to become "cross-chain security infrastructure experts."This upgrade comes about five months after the Kelp DAO was hacked in April of this year. The attackers are reportedly linked to the North Korean Lazarus group, stealing approximately $292 million in rsETH by deceiving the single validator relied upon by the Kelp cross-chain bridge, which operates on LayerZero. LayerZero blamed Kelp for using only a single validator, while Kelp stated that LayerZero employees had reviewed its setup and raised no objections. Kelp subsequently announced that it would migrate rsETH to Chainlink.The upgrade also adjusts the security mechanism that Chainlink had previously heavily promoted; its risk management network will no longer operate as an independent review node, with such independent checks now provided by optional validators. This means that users who have not added any validators currently rely on a single validation network, whereas previously they relied on two. Existing Chainlink users have been automatically migrated to the new version, but the company has not disclosed which institutions are using the new validators, only stating that Aave and Maple have begun adopting other features of the upgrade.
