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

According to Cryptopolitan, Solana has partnered with quantum computing research company Project Eleven, which will conduct a comprehensive assessment of Solana's quantum resistance capabilities and create quantum-resistant digital signatures on the Solana testnet. Project Eleven has researched the risks to Solana's core infrastructure, including wallets, validators, and other cryptographic protections. 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, "It is our responsibility to ensure that Solana is secure not only today but also for decades to come." Although quantum threats are currently theoretical and the 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.
