With Google recently revealing that quantum computers can use less than expected computing power to crack existing blockchain systems, the security of crypto assets has once again become a focal point in the industry. In this context, experts have evaluated that the architecture of XRP Ledger offers greater resistance to quantum computing attacks compared to Bitcoin. Its core advantages lie in its unique account structure and the key rotation mechanism it supports.

The theoretical basis for the threat posed by quantum computing is that the Shor algorithm can derive private keys from publicly available public keys. This means that only addresses whose public keys have been exposed on the chain are at risk of having their funds stolen, while addresses that have never conducted any transactions are inherently secure by default.
