Solana developers announced a plan to combat quantum threats, introducing the Falcon digital signature scheme
The Solana Foundation stated that its core development team Anza has reached an agreement with Firedancer, a subsidiary of Jump Crypto, on a potential post-quantum solution, planning to introduce a new digital signature scheme called Falcon.
Although the threat of quantum computing is not expected to materialize for several years, Solana has developed a phased upgrade roadmap. This plan includes ongoing research into Falcon and other alternatives, introducing post-quantum solutions for new wallets when necessary, and ultimately completing the migration of existing wallets. Currently, the quantum-resistant primitive Winternitz Vault, developed by Blueshift, has been running on Solana for over two years. The Solana Foundation stated that the network's high-speed, low-latency design can accommodate such solutions, and the migration is not expected to have a significant impact on performance.
