Two of Solana’s most-used validator clients have implemented a test version of a new post-quantum signature solution, Falcon, to help prepare the Solana network for future quantum threats.In an announcement on Monday, Anza and Firedancer said Falcon is built for “high-throughput blockchain use” and that it can be activated “if and when the time comes” — an apparent reference to Q-Day, the point at which quantum computers become powerful enough to break public-key encryption.“The migration work is manageable, the transition can happen quickly when the time is right, and network performance is not expected to see a meaningful impact.”Source: Solana FoundationConcerns that quantum computers could eventually break blockchain cryptography have fueled worries about private keys and wallet security, prompting broader debate over how the sector should prepare as the technology develops.One of those concerns has revolved around building quantum solutions that don’t impair blockchain performance by increasing bandwidth and storage.To address that issue, Jump Crypto, the crypto infrastructure platform behind Firedancer, said Falcon-512 was built to generate the smallest signature currently among the US National Institute of Standards and Technology’s selected post-quantum signature standards.It added that Falcon signature verification is “not complex to implement” and that signing is executed off-chain.Solana ecosystem aligned with quantum planAnza and Firedancer said they independently researched quantum solutions and both concluded that quantum readiness is necessary before agreeing to build Falcon.Both validator clients have implemented an initial version of Falcon in their GitHub repositories.Data from Anza’s GitHub account shows that the development team has been working on Falcon since at least Jan. 27, 2026.Falcon isn’t the first quantum solution floated in the Solana ecosystem.Blueshift’s Winternitz Vault has offered quantum security to Solana since January 2025, though it was designed as an optional add-on for users and thus isn’t a protocol-level upgrade.Related: Google targets 2029 post-quantum migration as threats draw nearerThe push comes as Google and California Institute of Technology researchers said last month that functional quantum computers could arrive sooner than expected and that they require far less computing power to break cryptography than previously thought.Google even claimed that quantum computers could potentially break Bitcoin’s cryptography within ten minutes, allowing hackers to perform an “on-spend” attack.However, Blockstream CEO Adam Back said current quantum computers are “essentially lab experiments” and that no real threat will emerge for decades.Magazine: Bitcoin may take 7 years to upgrade to post-quantum: BIP-360 co-authorCointelegraph is committed to independent, transparent journalism.

Robinhood users are being warned about a new phishing attack that takes advantage of Gmail’s native “dot alias” feature and flaws in Robinhood’s account creation process to send malicious emails. Robinhood users on Sunday began reporting on social media of emails originating from the platform’s mail server warning of an unrecognized device login, which linked to phishing websites in the “call to action” button. Source: David GobaudAlex Eckelberry, a cybersecurity researcher and tech CEO, said the phishing campaign wasn’t the result of a hack but instead exploited a native Gmail characteristic that ignores dots in an email address, as well as a “couple of terrible holes” in Robinhood’s account setup.It comes after blockchain security company Hacken reported earlier this month that phishing and social engineering attacks dominated crypto attacks in the first quarter of 2026, accounting for $306 million in losses.Source: Alex EckelberryHackers created fake Robinhood accountsEckelberry said the scam relied on fraudsters creating an account on Robinhood with an email closely mimicking their target’s email address. For example, a Robinhood user could have an email address such as “jane.smith@gmail.com.” The scammer would create a new Robinhood account with an email without the dot in the middle, such as “janesmith@gmail.com.”While Robinhood would treat them as completely separate accounts, Gmail ignores dots in the username part of an email address. This means scammers could prompt Robinhood to automatically send emails intended for their fake account, but have them arrive in their target’s inbox instead. To get a phishing link into the automated email sent when a new Robinhood account is created, the scammers would then add HTML instructions to the optional “device name” field on Robinhood, which Gmail treats as formatting instructions. Source: Abdel“The result is a real email from “noreply@robinhood.com” that passes SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. It looks completely legitimate but now contains injected fake warning text and a working phishing button. Clicking the button leads to a fake login site,” Eckelberry said. The email is only dangerous if information is addedVisiting the fake login website alone isn’t enough for hackers to gain access to an account, Eckelberry said, but entering sensitive information such as passwords could allow bad actors to do so.Related: Robinhood Q4 earnings miss as crypto revenues declineRobinhood’s support account on X posted a statement on Monday confirming that some users received a falsified email from “noreply@robinhood.com” with the subject line “Your recent login to Robinhood” and blamed the issue on an exploit of the “account creation flow.”“This phishing attempt was made possible by an abuse of the account creation flow. It was not a breach of our systems or customer accounts, and personal information and funds were not impacted,” they said.“If you received this email, please delete it and do not click any suspicious links. If you have clicked a suspicious link or have any questions about your account, please contact us directly within the Robinhood app or website.”Magazine: Should users be allowed to bet on war and death in prediction markets?

Xandeum, the decentralized storage network built on Solana, today began anchoring its state to Bitcoin. At every checkpoint of its consensus, Xandeum writes a cryptographic fingerprint of its storage state into the Bitcoin blockchain, where it cannot be altered or erased. Anyone, anywhere, at any point in the future can use that fingerprint to prove […]
