According to Decrypt, nine blockchain organizations including Quantus, Postquant Labs, Midnight Foundation, Keystone, Abelian, and Hacken have jointly established the Quantum Alliance, aiming to develop "quantum-ready" open standards and establish a unified approach to test the quantum resistance of blockchain networks, wallets, and infrastructure.The Quantum Alliance stated that currently, approximately 6.04 million BTC, accounting for about 30% of the Bitcoin supply, are at potential risk of quantum attacks due to the exposure of elliptic curve signature public keys. The organization will focus on promoting blockchain migration, post-quantum zero-knowledge systems, wallet security, and cross-chain compatibility, citing recent predictions that practical quantum attack windows may appear as early as around 2028.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform that he has integrated zkAPI, Tor, additional obfuscation traffic, and local LLM prompt rewriting into a daemon compatible with the OpenAI interface, and created a "paranoid mode" wrapper for his AI agent tool pi. The relevant code has been open-sourced on GitHub.The main mechanism of this solution is as follows: each conversation uses a separate Tor line, with requests mixed in random obfuscation traffic; zkAPI is used to prevent identity leakage through payment links; all prompts are first rewritten by a local model, which the user can choose, with Vitalik himself using qwen3.8-flash-next. The outer layer of the proxy tool is wrapped in a bwrap sandbox, and then another layer of torsocks is added, ensuring that all network operations go through Tor.Vitalik stated that this solution is already quite usable, but the latency has significantly increased, especially slow when starting a new conversation. He pointed out that Tor is far from the best privacy solution in this scenario: obfuscation traffic can prevent passive eavesdropping, but if the LLM service provider colludes with the Tor entry node and actively manipulates timing, the protective effect will be greatly weakened.
