Vitalik Buterin proposed a way to protect Ethereum from quantum computers
Ethereum already has good opportunities to protect user funds from quantum computers using a simple “recovery fork,” says project co-founder Vitalik Buterin.
“The blockchain would require a hard fork, users would need new wallet software, but few would lose their funds,” he said.
In a publication on Ethereum Research, Buterin recalled that asset protection is intended to be ensured by the transition to contract addresses (account abstraction), as well as the implementation of quantum-resistant cryptography like Winternitz signatures and STARK technology.
