XRP’s Architecture Shows Quantum Resilience Compared to Bitcoin
- Approximately 300,000 XRP accounts holding about 2.4 billion XRP have never transacted, keeping their public keys unexposed and quantum-safe.
- Only two dormant XRP whale accounts, holding around 21 million XRP, have exposed public keys, representing just about 0.03% of the circulating supply.
- In contrast, an estimated 11%–37% of Bitcoin is potentially vulnerable to future quantum threats due to exposed public keys in early outputs.
The XRPL’s account-based model allows for key rotation without moving funds, enhancing security against potential quantum attacks. This design contrasts with Bitcoin’s approach where a significant portion of coins remains vulnerable due to exposed public keys.
For XRP holders, the data suggests a relatively secure position against quantum threats compared to Bitcoin, especially for active users who can rotate keys proactively. (Source)
