StarkWare CEO proposes a five-step action plan, calling on the crypto industry to address the potential threat of quantum computing

Mars Finance reports that StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson has spoken out on X about the potential impact of quantum computing on the crypto industry, calling for multi-chain ecosystems, including Bitcoin, to proactively deploy quantum-safe upgrades. He also proposed a five-step action plan: 1. Recognize the threat, clearly acknowledge that once quantum computers mature, they will pose a serious challenge to existing public key cryptography, and decisively promote measures to address this. 2. Strengthen education and information dissemination, systematically study the current state of quantum computing development and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions, and popularize related knowledge within the community to improve overall awareness. 3. Organize and allocate resources to support and collaborate with post-quantum cryptography experts, promote multiple research and engineering practices, and provide funding and community initiative support for relevant projects. 4. Listen to expert advice and establish standards, with experts proposing specific technical routes, including new signature algorithm standards and the appropriate level of post-quantum security required for hash functions. 5. Promote protocol and infrastructure upgrades by introducing new quantum-resistant signature mechanisms at the core protocol layer, and ensuring compatibility and integration with wallets and other key infrastructure for a smooth transition.
