⚠️ #Ethereum co-founder #VitalikButerin is warning that rapid AI advances in mathematics could threaten not only quantum-vulnerable cryptography, but potentially even lattice-based systems considered post-quantum safe.
His timeline: the next 2 years could bring major breakthroughs in mathematical attacks.
🔐Ethereum’s roadmap is therefore exploring a “hash-only” approach for signatures and proofs, including schemes such as WOTS and SPHINCS, which rely less on complex mathematical structures.
For multisigs, Buterin recommends:
• 🔄 Rotating keys after each operation
• 🆕 Using fresh addresses
• 🔒 Gathering signatures off-chain
• 📐 Using larger parameters for lattice-based encryption
$ETH is already targeting broader quantum resistance by 2029.
The bigger question is no longer just whether quantum computers can break today’s cryptography but whether AI can accelerate the mathematics needed to break tomorrow’s defenses. 🤖
