imagine ECDSA is demonstrated to be broken by quantum computing tomorrow now everyone’s scrambling to move funds into a smart wallet with quantum-resistant signature verification ASAP what’s the best implementation of this currently out there? does one even exist?

curious if @vitalik.eth has thought about this

Sha256 and similar hash functions are considered quantum safe. STARKs use hash functions heavily and so are also considered quantum safe. So in a pinch you could hard fork an upgrade where everyone switches to a new key, and a zk proof of knowledge is used for the new private key instead of normal signatures.

i'm thinking no time for hard fork, like literally being blindsided and seeing coins start moving out of big accounts granted, everything likely goes to zero in this scenario but my point is what could one individual do to protect themselves from falling victim before social coordination can step in

alert on vitalik.eth account, then send everything to a CEX and to the bank.. or automatize that

(I guess I was thinking on protecting my assets, all in the eth chain) yeah, makes sense, satoshi goes first.. and the fbi.. would be a very funny one.. ofc.. some goverments.. this could be very chaotic.. in bad hands.. thinking on who could get it first.. governments are a big candidate

The thing a viable QC requires big institution resources. So if shit went down wed know who did it. Otherwise we’d have some warning so we can hard fork. @vitalik.eth maybe we get that hard fork ready?
