The recent rapid advancements in the field of quantum computing have once again brought the quantum threat to the forefront of cryptocurrency security concerns, especially for Bitcoin.
Therefore, many altcoin developers, particularly Bitcoin developers, have begun working on technologies resistant to quantum attacks.
One such altcoin is Tron, and its founder, Justin Sun, has made statements regarding Bitcoin and Tron's quantum technology development plan.
Speaking at the "Bitcoin Asia 2026" conference in Hong Kong, Justin Sun stated that plans are in place to make the TRON network resistant to quantum computing attacks by the end of the year.
Work on Quantum-Resistant Infrastructure for TRON Continues!
Justin Sun stated that the TRON company has been working on quantum-resistant technology for about a year.
Sun stated that in the first half of 2026, a quantum-attack-resistant addressing system was implemented in the test network, and the network continues to prepare for future security threats that quantum computers may pose.
Sun also stated that he plans to transition to a quantum-computing-resistant network by the end of this year.
"Tron is actively improving its quantum computing technology and plans to upgrade its network to be quantum-resistant by the end of this year."
For Bitcoin, This Process is More Complex!
In contrast, Sun stated that Bitcoin's process of developing solutions against quantum threats may take longer.
Sun noted that Bitcoin has a highly decentralized ecosystem, including miners, cryptocurrency exchanges, WBTC, and many other stakeholders, making it difficult to reach a consensus on a common solution.
