Justin Sun mentions possibility of quantum attack within 1-2 years... signature test on Tron testnet

Tron has begun testing quantum-resistant electronic signatures on its Nile test network, with mainnet activation still pending governance approval and an external security audit. Founder Justin Sun said in a FINTECH.TV interview that quantum attacks are highly likely within one to two years given the pace of AI development, and that Tron aims to release a quantum-resistant version in about six months. The effort centers on TIP-899, which addresses the vulnerability of the ECDSA signatures currently used to authorize transactions on Tron and other networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The initiative matters because a quantum computer running Shor's algorithm could forge signatures protecting on-chain assets, and Tron is moving early among major chains to hedge that risk. What to watch next is whether Tron's governance approves the change and whether the external audit clears the way for mainnet rollout within Sun's six-month target.
