StarkWare Releases Starknet Quantum-Resistant Roadmap

According to Odaily, zero-knowledge scalability company StarkWare has released the Starknet anti-quantum roadmap, stating that the roadmap consists of three phases to address future quantum computing attack risks. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson said that Starknet can leverage its architectural advantages to achieve quantum-resistant security, with its underlying cryptography based on zero-knowledge STARK proofs. 

The first phase of the roadmap includes replacing some current security mathematical mechanisms, such as Pedersen hash, with quantum-resistant versions, and adding quantum-resistant signatures. The second phase focuses on migration tools, enabling the upgrade of existing smart contracts without requiring developers to manually rebuild applications. The third phase involves dependencies that Starknet cannot resolve on its own, primarily depending on Ethereum’s quantum upgrade roadmap. Circle, Ethereum, Solana, Tezos, and Algorand have all proposed their own anti-quantum roadmaps.
