Vitalik Buterin Outlines Ethereum Quantum-Resistant Roadmap with Hash-Based Signatures and STARK Proofs

Vitalik Buterin outlined a roadmap for Ethereum to achieve quantum resistance by replacing vulnerable cryptography with hash-based signatures, STARK proofs, and new account infrastructure. The plan calls for swapping components that rely on vulnerable cryptography for hash-based signature schemes, integrating STARK proofs into the cryptographic toolkit, and updating account infrastructure to support quantum-resistant operations. If adopted, the roadmap frames Ethereum's path to quantum resistance through these substitutions, with hash-based signatures and STARK proofs combined with refreshed account infrastructure as the core elements.
