Bitcoin's $13 Trillion Security Race： The Blockchain Defense Battle Under Quantu

Quantum Countdown: Why is 2029 a Critical Turning Point for Bitcoin?

The threat of quantum computing is no longer science fiction. When Google’s research team published that industry-shaking report, the entire cryptocurrency sector had to confront a harsh reality: the cryptographic foundation Bitcoin relies on for survival could become obsolete within a few years. This is not alarmism but a reasonable prediction based on the trajectory of quantum hardware development.

The elliptic curve digital signature algorithm, which would take traditional computers billions of years to crack, might require only 9 minutes in the face of a sufficiently powerful quantum computer—one minute faster than Bitcoin’s average block confirmation time. This time difference is not just a technical breakthrough but a psychological turning point. When attack speed surpasses defense reaction time, the entire system’s security assumptions must be reconstructed.

NTT Research Launches Scale Academy and SaltGrain Quantum-Safe Platform： A Criti

Why is NTT Shifting from “Research” to “Products” Now?

Simple answer: Because the time is right. Seven years of foundational research investment have allowed NTT Research to accumulate technical capital in specific areas sufficient for productization; simultaneously, external market anxiety over quantum-safe solutions is intensifying, creating an unprecedented window of demand. The establishment of Scale Academy is essentially aimed at solving the most headache-inducing “valley of death” problem for research institutions—how to bridge the vast gap between laboratory prototypes and market-viable products.

Since its founding in 2019, NTT Research has played the role of a “future technology explorer.” According to its public data, its investments in areas such as physics and informatics, cryptography and information security, and medical and health informatics over the past few years have yielded hundreds of academic papers and patents. However, academic influence does not equate to market influence. Senior Vice President Bennett Indart bluntly pointed out that transforming theories, papers, and patents into things people genuinely want to use in their daily lives is a “completely different challenge.” The mission of Scale Academy is to systematically address this challenge.
