Recent rapid advancements in quantum computing technology have brought the quantum threat back to the forefront of security concerns for cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin.
Therefore, many altcoin developers, especially Bitcoin developers, have started working on quantum resistant technology.
One of these altcoins is Tron, and its founder, Justin Sun, made statements regarding Bitcoin and Tron’s quantum roadmap.
Speaking at the ‘Bitcoin Asia 2026’ conference in Hong Kong, Justin Sun said that the TRON network is planned to be made resilient against quantum computing attacks by the end of the year.
Quantum Resistant Infrastructure Work Continues for TRON!
Justin Sun stated that TRON has been working on quantum resistivity technology for about a year.
Sun stated that a quantum-resistant address system was implemented in the test network in the first half of 2026, and that the network is continuing to be prepared against future security threats that quantum computers may pose.
Sun also stated that he plans to switch to a quantum-resilient network by the end of this year.
“Tron is proactively improving its quantum computing response technology and plans to upgrade Tron to a quantum-resistive network by the end of this year.”
The Process for Bitcoin is More Complex!
In contrast, Sun said that Bitcoin’s process of developing solutions against quantum threats could take longer.
Sun noted that Bitcoin has a highly decentralized ecosystem involving miners, cryptocurrency exchanges, WBTC, and many other stakeholders, which makes reaching a consensus on a common solution difficult.
