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.

Blockchain research and technology company Four Pillars said it raised Series A funding from global investors Pantera Capital and Further Ventures. The round was led by Pantera Capital, a crypto-focused investment firm for institutional clients. Four Pillars said the financing valued the company at about 30 billion won on a post-money basis. It said it will rebrand as a Web3 Solution Company and focus on bridging Asia and global markets, translating between traditional finance and Web3, and expanding beyond research into solutions.
