Solana Foundation proposes 'Falcon' signature scheme for quantum resistance

The Solana (SOL) Foundation has proposed the "Falcon signature" scheme as a solution to security threats from quantum computing. According to CoinDesk, the foundation announced on April 27 that two of the Solana network's core development teams, Anza and Jump Crypto's Firedancer, have identified Falcon as a digital signature solution designed to be quantum-resistant and have already begun initial development. The foundation added that while the implementation of quantum computing is still years away, the solution is well-researched, understood, and ready for deployment.
