China's 1,000 Qubit Quantum Computer Breaks RSA Encryption, Threatens Blockchain Security

2025 marks a significant milestone in the quantum computing race. Japan has introduced a 256-qubit superconducting computer, the most powerful of its kind. Shortly after, China unveiled a system surpassing 1,000 qubits, accompanied by concrete industrial targets set for the next 18 months. However, a recent development has sent shockwaves through the global cybersecurity landscape: a Chinese team reportedly succeeded in breaking RSA encryption using a quantum machine. These advancements render classical cryptographic systems, including those currently used by blockchains, obsolete.

Quantum computing poses a significant threat to current blockchain technologies by making RSA and ECC encryption obsolete. These encryption methods are vulnerable to quantum algorithms such as Shor and Grover, which can compromise a single signature and grant access to an entire wallet. This vulnerability extends beyond the crypto sphere, affecting smart contracts, validators, cross-chain bridges, and DAOs, making all signed elements readable, exploitable, and forgeable indefinitely.

Many blockchain projects are attempting to add post-quantum layers to their protocols to mitigate these risks. However, these efforts face significant challenges, including incompatibilities between old and new signatures, forced migration of wallets, the risk of forks and liquidity fragmentation, and disruption of user experience. Changing cryptographic engines mid-flight is akin to performing open-heart surgery on a running machine, potentially weakening security rather than strengthening it.

Naoris Protocol offers a unique solution to the quantum threat. Designed natively for the post-quantum era, it provides a complete architecture that secures both Web3 and Web2. The Sub-Zero Layer incorporates post-quantum standards such as Dilithium-5 and KEMs validated by the NIST, allowing transactions to be signed with proven resistance to quantum attacks. The dPoSec (Decentralized Proof-of-Security) ensures that every device participating in the network validates its integrity in real time at each block, strengthening trust across the entire chain. Additionally, the Swarm AI feature enables decentralized intelligence to learn from every intrusion attempt, providing global immunity. Over 92 million transactions have already been processed on the testnet with post-quantum signatures.

Naoris Protocol extends its applications beyond the blockchain sphere, targeting traditional critical infrastructures. Current applications include EVM roll-ups, cross-chain bridges, DeFi platforms, urban IoT systems, and industrial infrastructures, all benefiting from a unified trust fabric that is interoperable and continuously verifiable. The Token Generation Event ($NAORIS) is scheduled for the end of July 2025, with a public sale currently ongoing on the Naoris Protocol website. Users can already contribute on the testnet and earn rewards by validating network security. More information is available on the official Naoris Protocol website and their official Twitter account.

The world is entering a new era where breakthroughs in quantum computing are disrupting the global balance of cybersecurity. Naoris Protocol, with its decentralized and quantum-resistant security, is adapted from the start to this new paradigm. Its defensive approach, combining post-quantum cryptography, real-time security consensus, and decentralized intelligence, protects the entire Web3 ecosystem and beyond. Join Naoris today and be part of the advent of a secure internet for decades to come.
