Solana testnet deploys quantum-safe signatures, with network processing speed dropping by about 90%
Project Eleven and the Solana Foundation deployed quantum-safe signatures on a testnet. Initial results show their size is 20–40 times larger than existing signatures, causing transaction speeds to drop by 90%. Solana’s public-key design exposes it to higher quantum-attack risk, surpassing Bitcoin and Ethereum. Although the latter are looking for secure solutions, Solana is already leading in quantum-safe experiments.
