The "hope" that you can just drop-in replace ECDSA signatures and everything works the same is spurious. You, of all people should know that claims on paper don't translate to live systems. In this case, Solana transactions are designed around a UDP packet size. So the claim that the impact of a

Fine, I'm just saying that this is not going to be some "drop-in replacement" situation. Results on paper != results on network and I will guarantee right now that parts of the Solana networking stack will have to be re-architected. That's true of most blockchains though, why pretend it's somehow
Before Project Eleven, I worked in the zero knowledge space. If I had a nickel for every technical claim that someone made on this platform, only to have that claim collide with reality. I'd be retired. I'm not saying Solana can't be made post quantum secure. I'm not even saying it's necessarily be
So just so I understand, the claim is that after the new network changes go into effect, Falcon is a drop-in replacement for eddsa and there will be absolutely no impact on the network or no additional updates needed whatsoever to the networking stack? Not even to handle consensus signatures? I thi
Okay I'll bite: A single Falcon-512 public key and signature combination equals 1563 bytes. This immediately breaks Solana's foundational network constraint: the 1232-byte maximum packet payload limit. Solana derives this strict limit from the 1280-byte IPv6 MTU (minus headers) to ensure transactio
Look, I don't want to argue with you guys. I get enough fights with people in Bitcoin about post quantum. I accept that you guys know way more about how Solana works than me. But having heard a lot of technical claims about how some future x solves y when it comes to blockchains I'm just a little sk
