The post Abelian Partners with MEXC to Advance Quantum-Resistant Crypto appeared com. Abelian, the world’s first post-quantum Layer-1 blockchain that has collaborated with the global crypto exchange MEXC for Post-Quantum Blockchain Day 2025 (PQBD 2025). This collaboration incorporates Abelian’s quantum-resistant protocol with MEXC’s network of more than 40 million users across 170 countries. Quantum computers pose a threat to the cryptographic foundations that protect digital assets, and our collaboration is a proactive industry reaction to defend the Bitcoin infrastructure. Leading the Quantum-Resistant Revolution Abelian initiated the trend of post-quantum blockchain technology in April 2022. The team was created by a consortium of world class cryptographers including Professors Duncan Wong, Huaxiong Wang, Khoa Nguyen and Guomin Yang. Abelian’s approach transforms security engineering in the blockchain space. The opening team at Abelian brings an abundance of combined experience developing and researching cryptography and blockchain from world class universities around the world. With this collective wealth of experience, the team at Abelian has positioned themselves to be trusted authorities in quantum resilient solutions for the digital asset ecosystems The platform utilizes lattice-based cryptography to offer quantum resistance with privacy-preserving functionality. The platform has launched “Digital Gold 2. 0” with quantum resistance, privacy, auditability, and decentralization while being compliant with regulatory requirements and transparency. The Expanding Quantum Threat to Cryptocurrency The collaboration considers quantum computing’s evolution from hypothetical worry to legitimate threat. Research from the Federal Reserve cautions that quantum computers could facilitate Bitcoin’s private past by employing “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks. Threat actors already have a practice of collecting encrypted blockchain data so they can leverage a sufficiently powerful quantum machine, to break into existing protocols. Experts estimate cryptographically relevant quantum computers could appear between 2028 and 2030. Analysts warn that the quantum machines might be able to crack the encryption protecting perhaps 25% of Bitcoin, specifically the legacy wallets that have exposed public keys.
