Vitalik Buterin unveils Ethereum roadmap to counter quantum computing threat

This move comes shortly after the Ethereum Foundation established a dedicated post-quantum research team to study the issue. What to know : Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin outlined a roadmap to protect the blockchain from the long-term risks posed by quantum computers. Although practical quantum computers capable of breaking modern cryptography do not yet exist, they could one day crack the digital signatures and cryptographic systems that secure Ethereum.
