Vitalik Buterin outlines quantum-resistance roadmap for Ethereum

The Ethereum co-founder said four areas that need changes include validator signatures, data storage, user accounts and proofs, but the evolution won’t be easy.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has identified and proposed a plan to address four areas of the network that he sees as most quantum-vulnerable.

Quantum computing and crypto have been in the headlines recently as concerns mount over Bitcoin and other blockchains’ resistance to quantum-capable supercomputers.

Buterin posted his quantum resistance roadmap for Ethereum on Thursday, stating that the four areas are: validator signatures, data storage, user account signatures, and zero-knowledge proofs.
