🪙 Quantum computers may threaten the security of Ethereum even before the US elections in 2028.
Vitalik Buterin emphasized the need to "harden" the base layer of Ethereum to eliminate errors and ensure the predictability of a network that holds hundreds of billions of dollars.
Key points:
• Innovative developments should focus on the L2 level, while the L1 level should become the most stable layer for calculations and security.
• The spirit of experimentation has vanished – the industry is consumed by meme coins and the repetition of successful projects.
• Elliptic curves (a special type of mathematical functions used in cryptography) may become obsolete as quantum computers are capable of breaking existing cryptography before the US elections in 2028.
• Ethereum has 4 years to transition to quantum-resistant protection.
