NIST has moved 3 post-quantum cryptography algorithms, CRYSTALS-Kyber, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, and SPHINCS+, to the final stages for standardization and released an initial public draft.
Still, the competition is open, so more candidates may be added!
☝️One key take-away related to code breakers: a quantum computer is 158 million times faster than the fastest classical computers today. This means what would take traditional computers 10,000 years to complete would be accomplished by quantum computers in a mere 4 minutes.
👀Quantum computing could be 158 million times faster than today's supercomputers. But it comes with big challenges like maintaining qubits and developing new quantum algorithms. The potential is immense!

🚀🔥 Abelian mining difficulty has just gained another 50% whopping jump to a new all-time-high. There's indication that even more miners are assembling their GPUs and joining. Thanks to all the miners! You are all contributing greatly to the post-quantum era of Blockchain. ⛏️
