Here's my take on AI finding a way to crack ECDSA, the signatures behind basically every Bitcoin and Ethereum wallet. Nobody has broken ECDSA. Not with AI, not with quantum. Even Vitalik said: "I don't recommend anyone scramble to move their funds to new wallets today." On the quantum side, the newest estimates say cracking a single key takes somewhere between 20,000 and 500,000 high-quality qubits. Nothing close to that exists today. And if it ever does get close, Ethereum already has a plan. Vitalik wrote it up back in 2024: roll back the attack, then let people move funds by proving they own their seed with a quantum-safe proof. If you still want to do something, set up a Safe with a Ledger and a hot wallet as signers (2-of-3 with an offline backup key is even better). It's what I do personally: multiple Ledgers controlling a Safe. To be clear, that alone isn't quantum-proof, since every signer is still an ECDSA key. And a Safe can switch to quantum-safe signing easily. A regular wallet can't. Set one up at app.safe.global. TLDR: you have nothing to worry about.

I appreciate that, and I do think the support for builders on Avalanche is strong on the grants and funding side. The hard part is that none of that fully solves the main issue right now, which is users. We need more people actually on Avalanche interacting with apps, adding liquidity, and buying into ecosystems. Without that, even good apps can launch and still feel dead on arrival. As @0xSmitty described really well in his article, we’ve had a few apps launch on Avalanche over the past month or so and they’ve seen very little user interaction compared to other chains, and even compared to prior years on Avalanche when there were significantly more active users. I mentioned this on our recent call with @JohnNahas84 too. The builder programs and grants are great, but they need to be paired with some kind of user incentive layer that gives people a reason to come onchain, try the apps, and stick around. That kind of funnel is what creates real long-term growth and consistent usage. @nobsfud made a very similar point recently as well. Without users, apps struggle to get any momentum, and progress stalls out fast no matter how strong the builders are. xitter.cf/nobsfud/status/2043360… So I wish I had a more concrete answer, but from where I sit, the biggest gap right now is not builder support. It’s user acquisition and retention.
