Is Litecoin quantum resistant?

No. Like Bitcoin, Litecoin uses secp256k1 ECDSA for signatures. Scrypt mining provides no protection against quantum signature attacks.

Does Litecoin's scrypt protect against quantum?

No. Scrypt is a mining algorithm that resists Grover's algorithm somewhat, but Litecoin's ECDSA signatures are still broken by Shor's algorithm.

SynX offers fast, low-fee transactions with NIST-standardized quantum-resistant cryptography.

LTC's Scrypt vs Quantum Reality

Some believe Litecoin's scrypt mining algorithm provides quantum resistance. This is false.

Scrypt: Memory-hard mining algorithm. Resistant to Grover's algorithm (√N speedup only)
ECDSA signatures: Broken completely by Shor's algorithm

Litecoin's funds are protected by ECDSA, not scrypt. Quantum computers attack the signatures, not the mining.
