StarkWare unveils quantum-resistant roadmap for Starknet, warns industry on complacency

StarkWare released a three-phase quantum-resistant roadmap for Starknet, arguing that zero-knowledge STARK proofs make it inherently post-quantum safe and that other chains have no excuse for delay.

• Starknet's three-phase roadmap swaps Pedersen hashing for quantum-resistant versions and adds quantum-resistant signatures.
• Phase two provides migration tooling to upgrade existing smart contracts without manual rebuilding.
• Phase three depends on Ethereum's quantum upgrade roadmap for dependencies Starknet cannot resolve alone.
• StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson called elliptic-curve reliance an 'elliptical illusion' leaving the industry dangerously complacent.
• Circle, Ethereum, Solana, Tezos and Algorand have also proposed quantum-proof roadmaps.
