Shor’s algorithm is one of the main reasons quantum computing is treated as a serious long-term threat to modern cryptography. Most public-key cryptography relies on a simple asymmetry: some mathemati

For years, the need to protect cryptocurrency from quantum attack felt like a distant problem. Today, that timeline is shrinking fast. In 2026, Google Quantum AI researchers published a whitepaper wit

Fault-tolerant quantum computing represents a long-term security challenge for major blockchains. Most legacy networks still rely on elliptic-curve cryptography, including ECDSA, EdDSA, or related sig

Key Takeaways Quantum computing threatens the public-key cryptography that most blockchains currently rely on for security. The real blockchain security problem is not only quantum resistance, but cr

As the field of quantum computing rapidly advances, concerns are growing about the potential impact of these powerful machines on the security of blockchain networks. Quantum computers, with their abi

CKB, the Common Knowledge Base, is the Layer 1 blockchain of Nervos Network. Built on a secure Proof-of-Work consensus and designed with flexibility in mind, it provides developers with a foundation f

One of the defining features of CKB (the Common Knowledge Base) is the NervosDAO, a built-in staking mechanism that lets CKByte (also referred to as CKB) holders earn passive rewards by locking their

As things currently stand, most (micro) payments in the traditional financial system are settled via specialized payment processing companies like Visa and Mastercard, essentially Layer 2 networks bui

Every four years, typically in the six months preceding the halving, the debate around the sustainability of Bitcoin's security model gets reignited. The discussion can be summed up in two opposing ar

While decentralization may be the fundamental property of blockchains, it isn't an end goal in itself. Instead, it's pursued—often at the expense of other desirable properties like scalability—for the

One strand of thinking that has become popular in crypto land recently is that the only way for blockchains to solve the Scalability Trilemma—or obtain the trifecta of high security, decentralization,

Normally, when we analyze the emission model of a coin such as CKB, we usually only consider the theoretical total number of coins issued over time, i.e., the emission curve. However, this does not fu

The unique tokenomics of Nervos have been specially designed to ensure platform sustainability

In the 14 years since the inception of Bitcoin, blockchain development shifted through multiple stages, each reflecting the evolving needs and challenges faced by the industry at the respective times.

Bitcoin’s most important value proposition in the economic sphere is its fixed issuance policy, since it is not subject to any change, and at the same time predictable, as long as we know how much and

Any prospective blockchain developer that has tried building decentralized applications has quickly realized that the current blockchains offer rather inflexible development environments. Building app

How to run a CKB node on a RaspberryPi 400 with Ubuntu desktop 22.04 Running a node on a RaspberryPi can be a fun, efficient way of helping to decentralise the Nervos Network. Old pro's have probably

To understand how Nervos DAO works, you must first know that it works through cycles, and that each of these cycles are 180 epochs. On the Nervos network, each epoch has an estimated time of 4 hours.

This article seeks to be the be-all and end-all resource for the underlying architecture and value proposition of the Nervos network. Nervos is a modular blockchain network built from the ground up to

An essay on time preference and building future-proof blockchains. The remarkable speed of change in the blockchain industry has increasingly been steering the space toward high time preference thinki
