DON'T BE AFRAID OF QUANTUM COMPUTERS

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson argues that while quantum computing represents a significant threat to current cryptographic systems, blockchain has a clear path to quantum resistance through zero-knowledge proofs. Unlike traditional cryptographic methods, certain ZK proofs are inherently quantum-resistant due to their reliance on hash functions rather than finding specific values in large mathematical spaces. The tech powering Starknet already incorporates these proofs, though additional implementation work remains to make the entire system quantum-resistant.
