Solana Foundation partners with Project Eleven to advance Solana's quantum-resistant security preparedness.

According to TechFlow, on December 17, Solana Foundation announced on X that it has partnered with post-quantum security company Project Eleven to advance the post-quantum security layout of the Solana network. As part of the collaboration, Project Eleven has conducted a comprehensive quantum threat assessment of the Solana ecosystem, covering core protocols, user wallets, validator security, and long-term cryptographic assumptions. They have also successfully prototyped and deployed a Solana testnet utilizing post-quantum digital signatures, verifying the feasibility and scalability of end-to-end quantum-resistant transactions in real-world environments.

Matt Sorg, Vice President of Technology at Solana Foundation, stated that this move aims to ensure Solana's security for decades to come and aligns with the roadmap of launching a second client and a next-generation consensus mechanism this year. Project Eleven CEO Alex Pruden said that Solana's proactive investment and action before quantum computing becomes a real threat demonstrates that achieving post-quantum security with existing technology is feasible.
