Tezos launches quantum-resistant private payment prototype "TzEL" on the testnet

Abstract generation in progress
ME News Report, May 15 (UTC+8), Tezos ecosystem developers have launched a prototype of a private blockchain payment testnet called TzEL, aimed at defending against future quantum computing attacks. The prototype uses post-quantum cryptography and zk-STARK proofs to protect transaction data and encrypted payment metadata, preventing "collect first, decrypt later" type attacks. TzEL leverages Tezos's data availability layer to handle the larger proof sizes introduced by post-quantum cryptography (about 300KB), which was previously a major technical barrier to building scalable on-chain quantum-resistant privacy systems. TzEL is currently running on the Tezos testnet and remains in development, with the Tezos ecosystem's transition to quantum-resistant cryptography still in its early stages. (Source: PANews)

The quantum-resistant track has started to heat up. Can Tezos gain a first-mover advantage with this move?

The testnet phase has publicly released the prototype, the iteration speed is acceptable, looking forward to the mainnet launch performance.

From theory to prototype is not easy, but quantum resistance implementation is still early; stay observant.
