Key highlights:
- StarkWare released the strongest post-quantum roadmap in the crypto industry
- The plan involves the transition of Starknet to quantum-ready cryptography
- The CEO is urging the whole blockchain industry to prepare for the quantum threats
As quantum computing is moving closer to reality, more blockchain platforms are preparing for the future security challenges. The latest to unveil a post-quantum security roadmap is StarkWare, which has outlined a three-phase plan for Starknet.
Notably, StarkWare’s plan focuses on Starknet’s transition to quantum-safe cryptography. The team wants to replace the network’s remaining elliptic-curve cryptography with quantum-resistant alternatives. This could protect the blockchain from future quantum computing threats.
Q Day is coming.
The cryptography securing crypto today has an expiry date.
Starknet has a head start: hash-based STARKs, Native AA that lets security evolve without protocol changes, and post-quantum wallets already deployable today.
Starknet’s Post-Quantum roadmap is here: . Similarly, Algorand also outlined its quantum-safe transition plans recently. Other major blockchains like Ethereum and Solana are also in the same line.
