This market resolves YES if a quantum computer successfully breaks SHA-256 encryption before January 1, 2030. Resolution will be based on peer-reviewed research papers or official announcements from major quantum computing companies/research institutions confirming a successful break of SHA-256.
Resolution criteria:
Must be a verified, reproducible break of the full SHA-256 algorithm
Must be practically demonstrated, not just theoretical
Must be confirmed by multiple independent sources in the cryptography community
No power restriction, but it must take less than 1 month to decode a single encrypted file.
