Solana will collaborate with Project Eleven to build quantum-resistant signatures

PANews December 17 News, according to Cryptopolitan, Solana has partnered with quantum computing research company Project Eleven, which will conduct a comprehensive post-quantum capability assessment of Solana and create quantum-resistant digital signatures on the Solana testnet. Project Eleven has studied the risks to Solana’s core infrastructure, including wallets, validators, and other cryptographic measures. The testnet will also examine the feasibility of implementing end-to-end quantum-resistant transactions on Solana. Matt Sorg, Vice President of Technology at the Solana Foundation, stated: “Our responsibility is to ensure that Solana is not only secure today but remains secure for the next few decades.” Although quantum threats are currently only theoretical and blockchain may not face real threats for another decade or more, quantum research is continuously expanding. Nevertheless, Project Eleven has begun evaluating migration paths, standards, and adoption scenarios.
