The Ethereum Foundation has moved to strengthen its defenses against future quantum threats.It announced a new post-quantum security team and a $1 million research prize this week. The move signals a formal shift in priorities as quantum computing research accelerates. Foundation leaders said the effort follows years of internal cryptographic development. Dedicated team focuses on quantum-resistant security: The new post-quantum team will be led by cryptographic engineer Thomas Coratger. He will be supported by Emile, a cryptographer linked to the foundation’s leanVM project.Senior researcher Justin Drake said the ... (full story)
