Solana and Project Eleven don roll out post-quantum signatures for testnet

Solana Foundation bin join body wit Project Eleven, one Google‑led research initiative, to check and build prototype for post‑quantum (quantum‑resistant) digital signatures for Solana blockchain. Project Eleven run full quantum‑threat assessment wey cover validator identities, wallets and the “harvest now, decrypt later” wahala, den dem deploy production‑like Solana testnet wey dey use post‑quantum signatures. The prototype show say the scheme fit work with current technology and dem no find any major performance wahala even though e need more computation. Solana VP of Technology Matt Sorg and Project Eleven CEO Alex Pruden talk say dem dey proactive to prepare for future quantum threats. The announcement follow wetin dey happen for industry—Bitcoin devs dey test NIST post‑quantum standards and hybrid signatures, and Ethereum community dey prioritize quantum defenses—though experts no agree on how immediate the risk be. For traders: e mean Solana dey focus on long‑term crypto resilience without disturbing short‑term network performance, fit boost institutional confidence but e no likely to cause immediate price volatility.
