    Justin Drake

    Ethereum Foundation researcher who called for a planned crypto migration

    Background

    Justin Drake is an Ethereum Foundation researcher who on October 7, 2026 urged the crypto industry to plan a controlled migration of holdings to fresh addresses.

    He argues that AI-driven mathematics could break ECDSA, the signature scheme used by Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets, before quantum computers can.

    In March 2026, after a Google paper on quantum attacks, he put the odds of a quantum break by 2032 at 10 percent or more.
