Today marks an inflection in the Ethereum Foundation's long-term quantum strategy.
The effort, Drake said, will be led by Thomas Coratger and the contributing team behind LeanVM, which he called a “cryptographic cornerstone of our entire post-quantum strategy.”
“Being able to say 'Ethereum's protocol, as it stands today, is cryptographically safe for a hundred years' is something we should strive to get to as soon as possible, and insist on as a point of pride,” he said.
Beginning in February, Drake continued, Ethereum Foundation researcher Antonio Sanso will lead a biweekly All Core Developers breakout call on post-quantum transactions, focused on user-facing security issues like account abstraction, and longer-term transaction signature aggregation.
“Believe in something,” he wrote. “Believe in [post-quantum] security.”
