Post-Quantum Cryptography Preparation: Falcon Finance's Future Cryptographic Resilience

The current security cornerstone of blockchain and DeFi (elliptic curve cryptography, such as ECDSA) is vulnerable in the face of sufficiently powerful quantum computers. Although the quantum threat is not imminent, a protocol designed to manage trillions of dollars in assets and planned to run for decades must incorporate "post-quantum cryptography" preparedness into its long-term roadmap. @Falcon Finance 's foresight is also reflected in its proactive approach to this ultimate security challenge.

Falcon's PQC migration will not be a one-size-fits-all hard switch, but rather a long-term, layered "mix and transition" strategy. Initially, it can introduce PQC as an enhancement in its most sensitive core areas: for example, a multi-signature scheme for verifying cross-chain messages could adopt a dual-signature model of "traditional signature + PQC signature." Even if the traditional signature is compromised, the PQC signature can still ensure security. Proof of ownership of its users' assets can also begin to support PQC signatures based on lattice-based or hash algorithms as an option.

The key lies in its "cryptographic agility" architecture design. Falcon's smart contracts and system components should not hard-code specific cryptographic algorithms (such as keccak256, secp256k1) in #FalconFinance .
