Report: Over 2.4 billion XRP immune to quantum attacks, with only 0.03% of the supply at potential risk

Crypto news from QJ.com: According to a report by U.Today, XRPL validator node Vet has released a network vulnerability audit report stating that, because the public key is only exposed after the first transaction, roughly 2.4 billion XRP are distributed across about 300k accounts that have never conducted a transaction. The public keys for these accounts are in an unknown state and are completely immune, at the physical layer, to brute-force quantum attack attempts. Further research shows that, due to long-term activity leading to public key exposure and wallets that have been dormant for more than five years, only 2 large compromised wallets exist in total, holding more than 21 million XRP altogether, which accounts for just 0.03% of the total supply. In addition, XRP uses an account-based model and supports a key rotation mechanism. Unlike blockchains that require moving funds to a new address, XRP users can directly replace their signing keys while keeping the original account. This underlying architecture allows the network to smoothly transition to post-quantum encryption standards such as Dilithium, and the entire upgrade process requires no hard fork and no complex actions from users.
