Vitalik and Hoskinson trade shots from afar—and the debate is over lattice cryptography 🍿
Vitalik thinks lattice cryptography relies on mathematical assumptions that are too new and not conservative enough. Hoskinson fired back: cryptographers have been hammering away at it for decades, and known attacks are already priced into the parameters. What's there to worry about?
Put simply, it’s a debate over risk tolerance—one side chooses a boring but reliable hash-based scheme, while the other bets that the math will hold up. Even top founders are arguing over quantum resistance, which shows we’re nowhere near being able to kick back and relax. Projects shouldn’t wait for quantum computers to arrive before catching up.
