Ethereum contracts can verify alternative signatures today, but protecting existing accounts requires more than adding a new signer. Bitcoin’s P2MR proposal does not itself add post-quantum signatures.

The non-binding vote does not approve a network transition. StarkWare hopes to release a draft whitepaper in November.

The finding is not a cryptographic break; published code covers five NIST prime-curve seeds and four binary-curve seeds.

The Science result reaches about 99.99% state fidelity, validating a technique already assumed in quantum resource estimates.

The privacy Layer 2 plans hardened developer libraries in early 2027, while its full migration also depends on changes to Ethereum.

The devnet implementation adds ML-DSA-65 account signatures. Native mainnet support is targeted for Q1 2027, subject to audits and testnet feedback.

Vitalik Buterin said the risk from AI-accelerated math is real but pointed it at lattices rather than elliptic curves. A former Ethereum Foundation researcher said bunker mode would not help if the curves actually broke

His personal warning about an AI-assisted cryptographic break drew pushback from Ledger’s CTO, who said a mass migration could cause costly mistakes.

The AI-assisted contest targets offchain GPU work, not Bitcoin fees. The experimental method still requires a direct path to a miner.

A whitepaper co-authored with the Ethereum Foundation and Stanford researchers slashes qubit estimates by 20x, warns that billions in crypto assets are exposed to multiple attack vectors.
