Ethereum quantum-resistance direction takes shape as Buterin and Zcash co-founder align

As debate grows over Ethereum’s shift to quantum-resistant cryptography, Vitalik Buterin (비탈릭 부테린) and Zcash co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson (엘리 벤사손) have backed a hash-based approach.

The discussion was sparked after a16z crypto questioned reliance on recursive SNARK structures.
