Q-day is the day a quantum computer can break the cryptography protecting today’s systems. It has no date, and it does not need one: migrations can take years.
Industry wide preparations have now begun. Apple shipped post-quantum encryption in iMessage. Google cloud already offers quantum safety. Even the White House has made post-quantum a national-security consideration.
We started preparations in 2018 with our post-quantum STARK paper; from that we created S-two, our hash-based quantum-resistant prover. Choosing native account abstraction enabled post-quantum signatures that can execute on Starknet right now. Outside Starknet, Isabel Foxen Duke co-authored BIP-360 and quantum researcher Scott Aaronson advises our research.
Starting Today, you do not have to take our word for anything. We are launching the Starkware Post-Quantum Hub: Starknets migration, technical advancements, and post-quantum research we produce, all in one place, available to everyone.
