The introduction piques our interest. Quantum computing may be here in 5 years – or 15 years – and that has been said for a
Bitcoin.com announced that it will be listing a quantum-resistant cryptocurrency, the Crown Sovereign, on the Bitcoin.com Exchange in late September. Protected with a next-generation approach to One-Time Pad encryption, the Crown Sovereign ensures the timeless protection and value of users’ sensitive data, even alongside the emergence of quantum technology. The launch is a significant achievement for Crown Sterling as it seeks to empower data sovereignty in the dawn of quantum computing with next-generation AI encryption products.
