Ethereum researcher warns AI may break ECDSA before quantum computers, urges \'bunker mode\' planning

Justin Drake of the Ethereum Foundation warned that the ECDSA signature system used by Bitcoin and Ethereum could be broken by AI before quantum computers reach “Q-day”. He urged the blockchain industry to plan for “bunker mode” and recommended a controlled mass migration of assets to fresh addresses whose public keys remain hidden behind a hash. He said holders should not rush or panic and urged major firms to harden cold storage.
