Starknet warned that estimates for the number of qubits needed to compromise a crypto wallet key have fallen 26-fold in four years, focusing attention on the cryptography that protects digital wallets.

Starknet is an Ethereum scaling platform that uses zero-knowledge rollups. The estimate concerns a potential quantum-computing threat to wallet-key security.
