#以太坊组建量子安全团队 $ETH Ethereum Establishes Quantum Security Team
- Announcement Date: January 24, 2026, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) established a dedicated post-quantum security team (PQ Team) and listed it as a top strategic priority.
- Core Personnel: Led by EF cryptographic engineer Thomas Coratger, with technical support from leanVM cryptographer Emile.
- Core Focus: Based on leanVM (minimal zero-knowledge proof virtual machine), build a scalable, privacy-preserving post-quantum security architecture.
- Funding Support: Established two prizes of $1 million each—the Poseidon Prize (for enhancing Poseidon hash) and the Proximity Prize (for advancing quantum secure signatures), totaling $2 million in investment.
- Recent Actions: Starting next month, a bi-weekly developer meeting for post-quantum trading will begin; running a multi-client test network to test post-quantum consensus mechanisms.
- Core Objective: To defend against the “storage-decryption” threat posed by quantum computing to existing cryptographic systems such as ECDSA, and to promote upgrades in protocol layers, account abstraction, signature aggregation, etc.
