A recent quantum vulnerability check on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) revealed that approximately 300,000 accounts holding 2.4 billion XRP remain secure, as their public keys have not been exposed through outgoing transactions. This review, which covered around 7.8 million XRPL accounts, identified only two dormant accounts with exposed public keys, holding a combined 21 million XRP. These findings suggest that the quantum exposure of XRP is limited, with vulnerable accounts representing just 0.03% of the total XRP supply.
The XRPL's account structure offers a degree of protection against quantum threats, as most active XRP holders can rotate keys without changing wallet addresses. This flexibility contrasts with Bitcoin, where older wallets may be more susceptible to quantum attacks due to exposed public keys. XRPL developers are actively testing post-quantum tools on AlphaNet, including ML-DSA, to enhance security as quantum computing technology advances.
