According to Crypto界, Wu Shuo learned that the arc official post said that Circle has published a post-quantum security white paper, proposing a phased security roadmap for arc, USDC, smart contracts, validators, and infrastructure systems. The white paper points out that quantum computing may pose long-term risks to blockchain signatures, validator keys, smart contracts, and network communications. Circle plans to support SLH-DSA signature verification in arc and, during the transition period, allow USDC smart contracts to continue supporting ECDSA interaction while enabling post-quantum signatures. Circle said that the final cutover timeline will depend on ecosystem readiness, regulatory requirements, and quantum risk assessments, and the related roadmap may still be adjusted.

The USDC contract runs in dual tracks in parallel, and the transitional period is quite practical, not a hard cutoff.

Post-quantum signatures + ECDSA coexist, will the gas fees increase?

The white paper states that the roadmap may be adjusted, translate: Decide based on competitors' actions

Will end users perceive the security upgrades at the infrastructure level?

Regulatory requirements and quantum risk assessments are listed side by side, and Circle’s wording is so DC.

Quantum computers are not here yet; in the meantime, insure stablecoins first to keep them stable.

Circle's recent quantum strategy is quite early; SLH-DSA has also been arranged.
