Why now
- Google's progress toward quantum supremacy ('Q-Day') accelerates urgency for quantum-resistant blockchain solutions.
- Current post-quantum cryptography proposals focus on signatures but overlook address derivation vulnerabilities.
- Testing of quantum-resistant protocols and architectures is underway, signaling imminent shifts in blockchain security design.
Why it matters
- Quantum computing threatens the cryptographic foundations of blockchain security, risking asset theft and contract manipulation.
- Innovative multi-chain consensus mechanisms can provide immediate defense layers against quantum attacks.
- Improving account address derivation is critical to prevent private key exposure on-chain after quantum breakthroughs.

Recurring claims
- Quantum computing threatens current elliptic curve cryptography used in blockchains like Ethereum and Polygon, risking private key exposure and contract manipulation.
- Multi-Chain Byzantine Fault Tolerance can repel quantum attacks today by leveraging cross-chain witnessing and blockchain topology, without solely relying on new post-quantum cryptography.
- Existing Ethereum post-quantum proposals improve signature schemes but do not change address derivation, leaving accounts vulnerable to quantum attacks after public key exposure.
