FXStreetEthereum Foundation pivots away from Poseidon in post-quantum plan
Advances in compact proofs have erased Poseidon’s previous performance advantage, according to researcher Justin Drake. The Ethereum Foundation is moving away from the Poseidon hash function in its planned post-quantum architecture, according to researcher Justin Drake. On Thursday, Drake said the foundation was abandoning Poseidon and turning to established alternatives such as SHA or BLAKE. A hash function converts data into a fixed digital f…
Ethereum abandons Poseidon, the hash function with which it sought to shield itself against quantum computers. The network is now betting on SHA2 or BLAKE2s, two traditional cryptography standards. The announcement, confirmed by researcher Justin Drake on August 13, closes eight years of work. The conclusion is clear: specialized hashes are no longer needed to make the network cryptographic tests efficient. Why Ethereum leaves Poseidon A hash fu…
Ethereum Foundation Pivots Away From Poseidon In Post-Quantum Security Plan
BitcoinWorld Ethereum Foundation Pivots Away from Poseidon in Post-Quantum Security Plan The Ethereum Foundation has announced a strategic shift in its post-quantum cryptography roadmap, moving away from the Poseidon hash function in favor of more robust alternatives to secure the network against future quantum threats. Why the Ethereum Foundation is Reconsidering Poseidon Poseidon, a zero-knowledge-friendly hash function, was previously a corn…
Ethereum abandons its 8-year cryptography bet after proof systems flip the tradeoff - Invest In Crypto News
Ethereum researcher Justin Drake said on Aug. 13 that the Ethereum Foundation is abandoning Poseidon for future layer-1 (L1) designs and pivoting toward SHA or BLAKE hashes after eight years of work on specialized, proof-friendly cryptography. Drake reported no break in Poseidon and issued no migration order, noting that recent gains in proof systems changed the performance tradeoff that had favored the hash. SNARKs produce compact proofs that a…
