On April 22, Decrypt reported that the Coinbase Quantum Computing and Blockchain Independent Advisory Board issued a report Tuesday warning Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains could face heightened future quantum attack risks—sufficiently powerful quantum computers may eventually break the cryptographic signatures protecting these networks. PoS networks like Ethereum and Solana rely on such signatures: Ethereum validators use BLS signatures, while Solana validators and users use Ed25519 signatures to enable block agreement and consensus maintenance. The board stated: “Validator signature schemes for PoS chains carry exposure risks, meaning the challenge isn’t just upgrading wallets—parts of the core consensus mechanism itself may need redesign.” The report highlighted recent Ethereum developer work, including co-founder Vitalik Buterin’s February proposal to replace BLS validator signatures with quantum-resistant alternatives: KZG commitments and ECDSA wallet signatures.

Controlling the Strait of Hormuz has given Iran valuable leverage in the conflict. While Tehran agreed to a temporary halt in military operations, the war is not over, the broadcaster emphasized. Iran’s state TV also warned against any demands that Iran must engage in negotiations, noting such calls could be interpreted by the enemy as an invitation to attack. Even if a naval blockade is lifted, Iran will only participate in talks on the condition that no issues infringing on its independence and dignity are raised — with priorities including Iran’s defense capabilities, missile program, nuclear program and technology.

April 22 – Iran has not sought an extension to the ceasefire, per Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, which cites multiple sources. Maintaining the maritime blockade signals an ongoing state of hostility: Iran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz at the very least while the blockade remains in effect, and will use force to break the blockade if needed.

April 22 — An advisor to the Speaker of Iran’s Parliament said Donald Trump’s ceasefire extension is meaningless, arguing the losing side cannot dictate terms. The U.S. is maintaining its blockade, which the advisor called tantamount to bombing and said must be met with a military response. The advisor added that Trump’s ceasefire extension is clearly an attempt to buy time for a sneak attack, so Iran must take the initiative. (Source: Wall Street CN)
