Tezos releases testnet for quantum-resistant private payment prototype TzEL
Developers in the Tezos ecosystem have released a private blockchain payment prototype, TzEL, on a testnet to prepare for attacks using quantum computers. The system is designed to protect encrypted transaction data and payment metadata by applying post-quantum cryptography and zk-STARK proofs. TzEL focuses on countering “collect now, decrypt later” attacks. It uses Tezos’ data availability layer to handle large proof sizes.
