Quantum Resistance

StarkWare says a week of AI-assisted coding reduced the estimated GPU cost of preparing a quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction from about $320 to $66. The figure remains an estimate, and the improved method has not yet been demonstrated in another mined Bitcoin transaction.

Ethereum is preparing for a sweeping multi-year overhaul that could replace nearly every major protocol component while limiting disruption for existing applications. The Lean Ethereum roadmap puts quantum resistance, privacy, lighter verification and state redesign at the center of the network’s next era.
