The Quantum Threat Was Known This Whole Time!?

Added: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]Why on earth are we still talking about the quantum threat in 2026, more than 6 years later, if Vitalik himself was saying that we knew of quantum-proof solutions before Solana even launched?

[00:00:11]Why haven't we solved it yet?

[00:00:13]>> Yeah, he we don't use these quantum-proof algorithms yet because in many cases they're 5 to 10 times less efficient, but and the crypto industry in general kind of knows that this is coming eventually and it's kind of ready to take the hit and switch to that stuff when when we have to.

[00:00:31]Notice how Vitalik said when we have to.

[00:00:33]The argument in 2026 is that AI just moved that deadline forward by almost a decade.
