Terms & Concepts
  • Quantum computing: Advanced computing technology that uses quantum bits (qubits) capable of solving certain problems much faster than classical computers.
  • Hashrate: A measure of the computational power used to mine and secure a blockchain network, expressed in hashes per second.
  • Cryptographic threat: A risk arising from advances in computing or algorithms that could undermine the security of encryption protecting blockchain transactions.
