Ethereum researcher outlines $0.07-per-account post-quantum protection plan
Ethereum Foundation privacy project Kohaku lead Nico said Ethereum accounts could start being prepared for a post-quantum era without a hard fork. The account-level approach is estimated to cost about $0.07 per account to deploy, with an initial review completed with Fable and more audits planned. Researchers are also exploring SPHINCS- style verification on the EVM, including a Solidity verifier targeting roughly 150K gas.
