While Bitcoin developers scramble to find a solution and Ethereum prepares for 'Q-day,' Solana is trying to get ahead of that scenario.
Discussions around post-quantum cryptography have intensified across the industry in recent weeks, especially after new research from Google and academic collaborators suggested that such systems could one day break widely used encryption, potentially cracking systems like Bitcoin’s in minutes rather than years.
While Bitcoin developers scramble to find a solution and Ethereum prepares for the event, Solana is trying to get ahead of that scenario.
Cryptography firm Project Eleven has teamed up with the Solana Foundation to experiment with post-quantum security, technology designed to withstand quantum attacks that could render today’s cryptography obsolete. The early work is already surfacing a difficult reality: making Solana quantum-safe may come at the expense of the performance that defines it.
In practice, that effort has meant moving beyond theory and into live testing. Project Eleven has worked with the Solana ecosystem to model how the network would behave if its current cryptography were replaced, including deploying a test environment using quantum-resistant signatures — the digital keys that authorize transactions. The goal is not just to prove the technology works, but to understand what breaks when it’s pushed to scale.
The new, quantum-safe “signatures” that approve transactions are much larger and heavier than those used today, roughly 20 to 40 times larger, Project Eleven CEO Alex Pruden, who founded the project, after years in crypto and venture capital, brings a mix of military and industry experience to the problem, told CoinDesk. That means the network can handle far fewer transactions at once. In testing, a version of Solana using this new cryptography ran about 90% slower than it does today, Pruden said.
The early results show a clear tradeoff.
Solana may also face a more immediate structural challenge than its peers.
That tradeoff cuts directly at the heart of Solana’s design. The blockchain has built its reputation on high throughput and low latency, positioning itself as one of the fastest networks in crypto. But post-quantum cryptography — while more secure against future threats — comes with heavier data and computational requirements, making it harder to maintain those speeds.
“A quantum computer could pick any wallet and immediately start trying to recover the private key.”
Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, where wallet addresses are typically derived from hashed public keys, Solana exposes public keys directly. That difference matters in a quantum scenario. “In Solana, 100% of the network is vulnerable,” Pruden said.
Some developers in the Solana ecosystem, meanwhile, are looking at simpler, more immediate fixes. One example is something called ‘Winternitz Vaults’, which uses a different kind of cryptography that’s believed to be safer against quantum attacks. Instead of changing the entire network, these tools focus on protecting individual wallets, giving users a way to secure their funds now while bigger, system-wide upgrades are still being figured out.
Pruden, a former Army Green Beret, first became interested in Bitcoin while deployed in the Middle East, later worked at Coinbase and joined Andreessen Horowitz’s venture team on its first fund. He then became an early leader at privacy-focused blockchain Aleo before launching Project Eleven, a firm focused on preparing digital assets for what he calls “Q-day,” the moment quantum computers can break today’s cryptography.
Across crypto, that level of engagement remains rare. While some ecosystems, most notably Ethereum, have begun discussing long-term migration paths, concrete implementation has been limited.
Despite those hurdles, Solana has moved faster than much of the industry in at least one respect: experimentation. “There’s something tangible,” Pruden said. “We actually have a testnet with post-quantum signatures.” He added that the Solana Foundation “deserves credit for at least engaging and wanting to do the work.”
The broader challenge is not just technical, but social: upgrading cryptography in decentralized systems requires coordination across developers, validators, applications and users, all of whom must move in sequence.
For Pruden, the risk is that the industry waits too long to begin that process. “This is a tomorrow problem — until it’s today’s problem,” he said. “And then it takes four years to fix.”

King Felipe of Spain appears to have helped thaw frosty relations with Mexico by acknowledging abuses carried out by his country during its conquest.
But in doing so he has reopened a fierce debate over the colonisation of the New World.
The arrival of Spaniards in America from the late 15th Century spread Christianity and the Spanish language across the continent, while also causing the death of many thousands of indigenous people through military action and disease.
During a visit to an exhibition dedicated to indigenous women in Mexico in Madrid's National Archaeological Museum, King Felipe said there had been "a lot of abuse" during the conquest of the territory that would become Mexico.
There are things that, when we study them, with our present-day criteria, our values, obviously cannot make us feel proud," he added on Monday.
The king made his informal observations as he commented on the exhibition in the presence of the Mexican ambassador to Spain, Quirino Ordaz.
President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico has welcomed the comments as a major step forward on an issue that has caused diplomatic friction between the two countries in recent years.
One could say that it is not everything we would have wanted but it is a gesture of reconciliation by the king in terms of what we were talking about: an acknowledgement of excesses, exterminations that happened during the Spaniards' arrival," she said.
The year 2021 marked the 500th anniversary of the fall of Tenochtitlán, the site of modern-day Mexico City and the capital of the Aztec empire, at the hands of Hernán Cortés and his small army.
They and other Spanish conquistadors went on to slaughter many thousands more indigenous people across the continent.
In 2019, the then-president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, demanded an apology from Spain for human rights violations during the conquest and colonisation of his country.
In 2024, his successor, Sheinbaum, took the unusual move of not inviting King Felipe to her inauguration, arguing that neither he nor the Spanish government had responded to López Obrador's request.
However, last October, Sheinbaum praised comments by Spain's foreign minister, José Manuel Albares, who said that there had been "pain and injustice" in the two countries' shared history.
Although Spain has not taken the kinds of steps some other countries have to reappraise their colonial past, in 2015 it pushed through a law offering nationality to the descendants of Jews who were expelled from the country in the 15th Century during the Spanish Inquisition.
King Felipe's words mark the first time that a Spanish monarch has publicly acknowledged abuses during the country's colonial era. They were included in a video posted on social media by the Royal Household.
Sheinbaum said that the comments should now lead to dialogue on the matter, although it is unclear how that might proceed.
Elma Saiz, a minister in the Socialist-led Spanish government said that administration "endorses the words of [King] Felipe VI 100%".
However, the political right, which in the past has strongly rejected claims that Spain's conquest and colonisation of the New World should be reappraised, was less willing to support the king's words.
The leader of the conservative People's Party (PP), Alberto Núñez Feijóo, warned against looking at historical events out of context and said that "bringing under scrutiny in the 21st Century things that happened in the 15th Century is crazy".
Adding that he was proud of his country's legacy in the New World, he said: "The arrival of Spain in America led to an exceptional linguistic and cultural community. Any Spanish action during the conquest can be compared favourably to any other action by any other empire of that period."
Elma Saiz said the opposition leader's stance placed him on the radical right and that he was "denying history".
The far-right Vox party, meanwhile, described the conquest as "the greatest work of evangelisation and civilisation in universal history".
Vox MEP Hermann Tertsch directly addressed the king, saying he was "astonished" that the monarch coincided with the position "of those who only seek to damage and discredit Spanish history".

Crypto industry sources who spoke with The Block this past week said crypto market structure legislation is hung up on two major sticking points — how to treat stablecoin yield and how to address President Donald Trump’s conflicts of interest in crypto.
A Senate Banking Committee hearing on Thursday morning with SEC Chair Paul Atkins will be telling on where Democrats stand on ethics.
Crypto industry views diverge sharply on the likelihood that Washington will pass sweeping digital asset legislation in 2026, with estimates ranging from 25% to 60% following a turbulent start to the year.
Ron Hammond, head of policy and advocacy at Wintermute, gave those odds a 25%.
Crypto industry sources who spoke with The Block this past week said crypto market structure legislation is hung up on two major sticking points: how to treat stablecoin yield and how to address President Donald Trump's conflicts of interest in crypto. If passed, a bill would broadly regulate the crypto industry, in part through designating jurisdiction between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Commission, new disclosure requirements, and other standards.
That's even higher among some of my peers," Hammond said in an interview.
Bank and crypto representatives met at the White House this week for the second time this month in an effort to narrow their differences.
Stablecoin rewards have emerged as the central flashpoint between banks and segments of the crypto industry. Banking groups have criticized a stablecoin law that passed over the summer, called GENIUS. Banks say allowing stablecoin yields could draw deposits away and harm community banks. Still, some in crypto argue that the issue has already been debated and accuse banks of trying to curb competition. Industry meetings on rewards are happening almost daily, one source familiar with the matter told The Block.
According to one source familiar with the talks, crypto stakeholders "really dug in," strongly pushing back against several of the banking sector’s proposals.
During the meeting, banks proposed a set of principles, calling for strict restrictions that go beyond the latest draft of a crypto market structure bill. A previous Senate Banking Committee version would bar yields or interest for passive stablecoin holdings but would allow narrower, activity-based rewards or incentives.
"If banks want a change, if they want rewards more limited, then they need a bill," he said in an interview. "So in some sense, banks need a market structure bill just as much or even more than crypto does."
Still, Kevin Wysocki, head of policy at Anchorage Digital, said he believes there will be a solution to the stablecoin issue. If the current law remains unchanged, stablecoin rewards would continue to be governed by the GENIUS Act, which bars issuers from paying direct interest to holders but does not prohibit third-party platforms, such as Coinbase, from offering rewards.
Wysocki put the odds of passage in 2026 at 50%. "I think it's because the banks need it," he said, adding that people in crypto also really want a bill to pass into law.
A source familiar said stablecoin rewards were the biggest issue right now and that there will not be support from Republicans until the issue is addressed.
There needs to be a deal," that source said. "The conversation needs to turn from principles to redlines to actual text and proposals."
The clock is ticking," they added. They gave the chance of a bill passing into law in 2026 a 60%."
Beyond policy disagreements, ethics questions tied to Trump’s crypto ventures are further complicating the bill’s path.
The Senate Banking Committee's hearing on Thursday morning with SEC Chair Paul Atkins will be telling on where Democrats stand on ethics, Wintermute's Hammond said. On Wednesday, Atkins faced intense questioning from Democrats in the House Financial Services Committee over the SEC's steep decline in digital assets and Trump's ties to the crypto industry.
Trump has raked in about $1.4 billion from his crypto ventures, including from World Liberty Financial, Bloomberg estimated last month. The Trump family also holds a 20% stake in the mining firm American Bitcoin
AABTC0%
For better or for worse, the president's involvement and the family's involvement in the crypto industry, there has been a very mainstream narrative around the corruption of this administration, or perceived corruption tied to a lot of the crypto industry itself," Hammond said
The Senate Banking Committee may decide not to bring up ethics. The committee's chair, Tim Scott, told CoinDesk that language should instead go through the ethics committee.
The looming midterm elections add another layer of uncertainty. Already, crypto-focused political action committees are amassing millions to prepare.

The new guidance says that “staff would not object if a broker-dealer were to apply a 2% haircut on proprietary positions.”
In a statement on Thursday responding to the guidance, Commissioner Hester Peirce said the use of stablecoins could allow brokers to do more.
The new FAQ marks the SEC’s latest move in being more friendly to the digital asset industry.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission introduced new guidance allowing broker-dealers to apply a "2% haircut" to proprietary positions in certain stablecoins — a move that some crypto stakeholders say helps bring digital assets closer to traditional finance.
In guidance issued on Thursday by the SEC's Division of Trading and Markets, the staff addressed a customer protection rule requiring broker-dealers to safeguard customers' assets and maintain a cushion for those assets. The new guidance says that "staff would not object if a broker-dealer were to apply a 2% haircut on proprietary positions." A haircut is typically a percentage applied to an asset when it is being used as collateral.
In a statement responding to the guidance, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said the use of stablecoins could allow brokers to do more.
Stablecoins are essential to transacting on blockchain rails," she said. "Using stablecoins will make it feasible for broker-dealers to engage in a broader range of business activities relating to tokenized securities and other crypto assets."
The new FAQ marks the SEC's latest move in being more friendly to the digital asset industry. Over the past year, the SEC has created a crypto task force covering topics ranging from custody to tokenization, embarked on "Project Crypto" to modernize its rules around crypto, and has plans to propose an innovation exemption to integrate tokenization into the capital markets.
More broadly, federal agencies are also working to implement a new law, called GENIUS, that passed last year, creating a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins.
Firms have to apply "haircuts" to assets to reflect risk, so more volatile assets get bigger haircuts. Some brokers were imposing an 100% haircut on stablecoins, according to Tonya Evans, making holding stablecoins more unaffordable. Evans is a fintech strategist and board member of the Digital Currency Group.
"A 2% haircut changes that calculus entirely by putting payment stablecoins on par with money market funds, which hold similar underlying assets like U.S. Treasuries, cash, and short-term government securities," Evans wrote in a Forbes article.
Former Avalanche COO Luigi D'Onorio DeMeo said the new SEC guidance would mean that stablecoins could be treated like money-market funds. The move "removes a major friction point," and also means stablecoins can become a larger part of traditional finance.
Lowers the barrier for deeper integration of stablecoins into traditional finance rails = better liquidity, more efficient settlement, and broader institutional on-ramp," he said in a post on X.
