Solana Foundation technology VP says Solana remains secure against quantum threats, citing upgrade path and proof of concept
Solana Foundation VP of Technology Jacob Creech said Solana users do not need 'bunker mode,' responding to a warning about quantum and AI threats, and that the network remains secure today with a defined path forward. He said breaking Solana's Ed25519 cryptography would expose a derived signing key but not the secret seed. Creech said a network upgrade could let rightful owners prove knowledge of their seed and move to a safe signature scheme, with a working proof of concept already existing.

🚨JUST IN: @Solana users don’t need “bunker mode,” says Solana Foundation’s VP of Technology @jacobvcreech, responding to @drakefjustin’s warning about quantum and AI threats. “Solana remains secure today and has a defined path forward.” He says breaking Solana’s Ed25519 cryptography would expose a derived signing key, but not the secret seed. A network upgrade could let rightful owners prove knowledge of that seed and move to a safe signature scheme. A working proof of concept already exists.
