StarkWare has unveiled a quantum-resistance roadmap for Starknet, calling on the crypto industry to take proactive measures against the emerging threat of quantum computing. CEO Eli Ben-Sasson stated bluntly: “The crypto industry shouldn’t need wake-up calls from the White House or anyone else.” He emphasized that quantum computing is advancing faster than many anticipate, and the industry must adopt post-quantum cryptography before a crisis emerges.
Starknet, a leading Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution, aims to ensure its network can withstand quantum attacks, safeguarding user assets. Ben-Sasson’s remarks underscore the growing urgency around quantum security in the crypto space, particularly as the U.S. White House intensifies its focus on quantum policy. Industry analysts suggest that crypto projects should accelerate the integration of quantum-resistant standards to mitigate potential disruptions.
