Vitalik Buterin shared his plan for “The Splurge,” with the goal to “fix everything else” in upgrading Ethereum, including planning for encryption-breaking computers.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says a goal of one of the blockchain’s roadmap stages is to research “advanced cryptography” to make it resistant to future quantum computers, which could break encryption.
“There is a heck of a lot left to do,” Buterin wrote in an Oct. 29 blog post, which shared his thoughts on a part of the blockchain’s roadmap dubbed “The Splurge.”
However, he said that quantum computers — which would be powerful enough to break encryption — “do not even exist.”
