Why the conviction moved

• Oct 10
  Strengthened +2

  Drake's call to prepare for an elliptic-curve signature break within months widens the case for migrating off ECDSA and Schnorr from quantum risk alone to AI-driven cryptanalysis. That adds urgency to the opt-in post-quantum signature schemes and dormant-coin debates already on chain roadmaps.

• Oct 9
  Strengthened +3

  Under EIP-8288, Ethereum researchers propose taking quantum-resistant signature and STARK verification out of the EVM and replacing it with one recursive proof per block, and they are asking the network to choose the instruction set for it. That makes post-quantum migration a concrete base-layer design decision with client and hardware consequences, not just an opt-in wallet scheme.
