▲ XRP, Quantum Computer/AI Generated Image
As the debate over XRP's quantum computer security safety intensifies, actual data analysis reveals a complex structure far from simple optimism.
According to crypto media outlet Benzinga on May 1 (local time), an analysis of 7.8 million accounts on the XRP Ledger confirmed that a significant number of assets are in a so-called 'quantum-exposed state'.
The analysis categorized approximately 76.8 billion XRP across about 560,000 accounts as being in a public key exposed state. Wallets that have performed even one transaction have their public keys recorded on the blockchain, making them potential targets for attack if quantum computing advances in the future.
Conversely, wallets that have never transacted are considered relatively safe as their public keys are not exposed. Currently, only about 23.16 billion XRP, representing approximately 27.2% of all accounts, are categorized as 'quantum-safe' in this sense.
However, the analysis suggests that the risk is not limited to simple cryptographic technical issues. The validator who performed the analysis pointed out that quantum risk is a complex challenge combining not only technology but also governance and user migration issues.
On the supply side, conflicting trends emerged simultaneously. Ripple released a total of 1 billion XRP from escrow through four transactions. Simultaneously, approximately 7 billion XRP moved out of exchanges, indicating a decrease in selling pressure, but new supply re-entered the market, creating a short-term offsetting effect.
Currently, there are approximately 7.8 million active accounts on the XRP Ledger, with about 33.3 billion XRP still remaining in escrow. The amount burned since 2017 is estimated at approximately 14.3 billion XRP.
Ultimately, the debate over XRP's quantum security is difficult to categorize simply as 'safe' or 'risky'. A significant amount is structurally exposed, but it is also a complex situation where there is room for user response and system upgrades.
