Solana Foundation: Anza and Firedancer have independently completed the preliminary implementation of the quantum-resistant signature scheme Falcon

ME News Report, April 27 (UTC+8), the Solana Foundation published an article introducing its progress in quantum resistance preparedness.
The two major validator client development teams on Solana, Anza and Firedancer, reached a consensus after independent research, both choosing the post-quantum digital signature scheme Falcon as the migration path, and have completed preliminary implementations, with the code publicly available on their respective GitHub repositories.
Additionally, Blueshift’s Solana Winternitz Vault has been deployed for over two years and is one of the few post-quantum primitives actively used in mainstream blockchains today, cited earlier this year in Google’s Quantum AI white paper.
The Solana Foundation stated that the threat posed by quantum computing remains years away, and immediate migration is not necessary.
However, research, infrastructure, and ecosystem coordination are all in place, and once the time is right, a rapid deployment can be initiated.
It is expected that this will not significantly impact network performance.
