Solana adopts Falcon signatures to counter quantum computing threat, says performance hit manageable
The Solana Foundation has outlined a plan to shift network security to prepare for quantum computing threats while maintaining performance and user experience through a phased rollout. Core development group Anza and validator client Firedancer from Jump Crypto have both chosen the quantum-resistant signature scheme Falcon and begun initial implementation. The foundation said the quantum threat is real but not imminent and that deployment is ready. It said any performance impact would be manageable.
