StarkWare Outlines Post-Quantum Cryptographic Roadmap for Starknet Architecture - Quantum Computing Report

StarkWare has released a multi-phase post-quantum (PQ) cryptographic roadmap for the Starknet Layer-2 network to transition its core primitives away from quantum-vulnerable assumptions. Because Starknet’s fundamental STARK proof system relies on collision-resistant hash functions rather than elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) arithmetic, its underlying proving layer is natively insulated from the specific quantum vulnerabilities that affect the settlement infrastructures of alternative blockchain networks. Furthermore, Starknet utilizes native account abstraction, which enables the implementation of quantum-resistant signature schemes at the contract layer without necessitating breaking protocol changes at the core consensus layer. The engineering strategy is split into discrete implementation blocks to systematically secure [...]
