What happens when quantum computers become powerful enough to break the cryptography protecting today’s blockchains? 👀 Starknet is already exploring how to prepare for that future. One of its biggest advantages is native account abstraction. On many blockchains, accounts depend on fixed signature systems. Changing those systems could require major network upgrades and coordinated changes across wallets and infrastructure. Starknet approaches this differently. Every account is a smart contract. That means its validation logic can be upgraded to support a new signature scheme, such as Falcon-512, without changing the account’s address or losing its balances and history. Even better, experimental Falcon-512 accounts and verifiers already exist on Starknet. But there’s still a challenge. As an Ethereum Layer 2, Starknet depends on Ethereum for settlement, data availability and bridging. Those layers still rely on cryptography that could be affected by quantum computing. That’s one reason Starknet is researching the possibility of becoming an independent Layer 1. The goal isn’t just to make wallets quantum-resistant. It’s to prepare the entire network. Quantum security might feel like a distant problem, but the work to solve it has already started. #Starknet #Web3
