Exploring post-quantum signature design for Ethereum asset protection
By
Matteo Vena, Matteo Vicari, Alessandro Baiocchi
Summary
This article explores the design space for post-quantum transaction signatures on Ethereum, focusing on protecting user assets at the execution layer. It discusses how recent research, including Google's 2026 paper on elliptic curve cryptography vulnerabilities and Oratomic's work on Shor's algorithm with reconfigurable atomic qubits, has accelerated urgency around quantum-resistant solutions. The core argument is that the best approach is not merely a new signature scheme but a comprehensive protocol involving multiple Ethereum components working together.

· 3 pulledThe best answer here is more than a signature, it's a protocol, a set of choices and Ethereum components that have to work together.
A lot has been said about the post-quantum transition over the course of this year, on practically every blockchain worth mentioning.
Shor's algorithm is possible with as few as 10,000 reconfigurable atomic qubits.
