Tezos Developers Test quantum-Resistant Blockchain Privacy System
Cointelegraph
Tezos has launched a testnet prototype called TzEL, which uses post-quantum cryptography to secure blockchain payments against future quantum computing threats.Summary
Tezos developers have released a testnet prototype named TzEL, designed to protect blockchain privacy from future quantum computing attacks. The system employs post-quantum cryptography and zk-STARK proofs to secure transaction data against potential 'harvest now, decrypt later' threats. To manage the large size of these proofs, the project leverages Tezos’ Data Availability Layer. While currently in development, this initiative reflects a broader trend in the cryptocurrency industry to prepare for quantum-related security risks, alongside similar efforts from other networks like Solana and Bitcoin.
