Solana $SOL now has quantum resistance, Solana developers claim
The Solana Winternitz Vault is optional, meaning Solana users will need to choose to store their funds in Winternitz vaults to achieve quantum resistance.
Solana developers have created a quantum-resistant treasury on the Solana blockchain to protect users' funds from potential threats posed by quantum computers.
The "Solana Winternitz Vault" solution achieves this by implementing a signature system based on a complex hash function that generates new keys each time a transaction is made, explained Dean Little, a cryptographic researcher and chief scientist of Zeus Network, in a GitHub post on January 3.
Creating a new private key for each transaction will make it difficult for quantum computers to plan a coordinated attack on any public key set, which is revealed each time a transaction is signed.
