Starknet unveils 3-stage roadmap for quantum resistance

StarkWare, the developer of Ethereum Layer 2 Starknet (STRK), has unveiled a three-stage roadmap to prepare for quantum computing, The Block reported. The post-quantum plan includes the following key steps: - Replacing elliptic curve-based cryptography within Starknet's internal systems with BLAKE2 and adopting the post-quantum Falcon-512 for consensus signatures. - Providing a migration tool for existing contracts. - Integrating with Ethereum's own post-quantum updates. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson stressed that the technology to achieve quantum resistance is already prepared, adding that any failure to adapt would be a problem of laziness rather than a lack of technology.
