Jacob Creech, a developer at Solana core team Anza, said Solana users do not need to urgently move assets because of concerns that AI-assisted password cracking or future quantum computing could weaken current cryptography. He said Solana uses the Ed25519 signature scheme, with signing keys derived from a secret seed through hashing. Under that design, even if elliptic-curve cryptography were broken at some point in the future, an attacker would not be able to directly recover the original seed from the signing key alone. Creech also said Solana could, in theory, add a hash-based proof of seed ownership through a single network upgrade, allowing the original holder to verify ownership and migrate to a safer signature scheme. According to his remarks, Anza has already built a proof-of-concept prototype for that approach. He added that Solana remains secure today and already has a technical path to address future cryptographic risks.
Jacob Creech says Solana users do not need urgent asset transfers
According to ChainCatcher, Jacob Creech, a developer at Solana core team Anza, said Solana users do not need to urgently move assets because of threats tied to AI-accelerated password cracking or quantum computing, unlike users on some other blockchains.
Ed25519 structure was cited in his explanation
Creech said Solana uses the Ed25519 signature algorithm, and that signing keys are derived from a secret seed through hashing. In his explanation, even if elliptic-curve cryptography is broken in the future, an attacker still would not be able to directly recover the original seed from that information.
Anza has built a proof-of-concept prototype
He also said Solana could theoretically introduce a hash-based proof of seed ownership through a single network upgrade. That would allow the original holder to verify ownership and migrate to a more secure signature scheme. Creech said Anza has already developed a proof-of-concept prototype related to that design.
He added that Solana remains secure at present and already has a technical path for dealing with future cryptographic threats.
