Cardano Founder Hoskinson: Post-Quantum Crypto Could Slow Blockchains Without Hardware Readiness

Post-quantum cryptography protects blockchains like Cardano from future quantum computing threats by replacing vulnerable algorithms with quantum-resistant ones, such as lattice-based systems. While these solutions exist today, implementing them without hardware upgrades could reduce blockchain throughput by up to 10 times, as noted by Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson. Post-quantum cryptography standards were released by the [...]
