Is the Quantum Storm Coming? Vitalik First Reinforced the Roof



When Vitalik Buterin announced Ethereum's post-quantum roadmap, many people's first reaction was: "Is quantum computing really going to eat wallet private keys for breakfast?" Don't worry, this is more like a preemptive security drill rather than an apocalyptic warning.
The so-called quantum threat mainly concerns the possibility that powerful future quantum computers could crack current elliptic curve encryption algorithms. In theory, they could derive private keys more quickly. But there is often a gap of several years or even longer between "theory" and "real-world deployment."
V神's decision to plan now reflects typical engineering thinking—fix the problem before it arrives.
The focus of the post-quantum roadmap is on introducing quantum-safe signature algorithms, gradually upgrading the account system, and leaving a migration window for old addresses. It sounds complicated, but basically it’s just about replacing the system’s locks with more secure ones.
Humorously speaking, Ethereum isn’t waiting for thieves to come knocking before changing the locks; it’s installing fingerprint recognition and iris scanning in advance. The market may not surge immediately due to the technical roadmap, but long-term trust will increase.
Conclusion: This isn’t "emergency avoidance," but "preparing in advance." True maturity is fixing the roof on sunny days. #V神公布以太坊抗量子路线图
