Ethereum is playing a grand chess game, aiming straight at the crypto battlefield ten years from now.

The current signature algorithms are extremely vulnerable to quantum computers and could be broken in minutes. But Ethereum has already started taking action. BLS signature aggregation, ZK zero-knowledge proofs, and other technologies have been on the roadmap for a while, and recently there has been discussion about the "state durability" mechanism—essentially, laying defenses for the post-quantum era.

Future transactions may require dual-layer security: traditional signatures combined with quantum-resistant signatures to achieve truly ultimate protection.

The interesting part is this—while others are still racing to increase transaction speed, Ethereum is setting the rules for the next era. This isn’t just technical stacking; it’s a dimensionality reduction strike.

So the question is: can this upgrade become the core trump card that allows Ethereum to maintain dominance for the next ten years? What’s your take?

Quantum threats are indeed being proactively addressed by Ethereum, much faster than other public chains. However, to be honest, it's still early days before quantum computing truly threatens blockchain security. Wait, will the double-signature mechanism again increase gas fees... this is what I care about most. The foresight is undeniable, but whether it can be truly implemented is another matter. Ethereum hasn't fully fulfilled all its promises over the years. Anyway, at least putting effort into defense is better than being exploited.

Quantum computing power is really coming, Ethereum will win big, but maybe it's a bit early to hype it now. --- Honestly, it still depends on whether it can truly be implemented; everyone has experienced missed deadlines in the roadmap. --- Double signatures sound powerful, but the gas fees are also going to skyrocket. --- Hmm... Instead of just defending against quantum attacks, it's better to think about how to prevent VC rug pulls. --- Dimensionality reduction might be a bit exaggerated; it feels like just normal iteration. --- This set of technology might take ten years to stabilize, but I can't wait that long. --- Bro, your idea is fine, but the market may not necessarily buy it.

Quantum computing is truly a sword hanging over our heads, but honestly, Ethereum's recent moves are still somewhat ahead of the curve. While others are racing in speed and ecosystem development, it is playing defensive chess, and this approach is indeed different. Double signature protection sounds good, but I'm just worried it might turn into that never-ending cycle of modifications. Anyway, I'm holding my coins and waiting to see, since an upgrade is inevitable. I'm really curious how other public chains will respond to the quantum threat. If Ethereum manages to pull this off, its competitiveness will definitely be ahead of others. To be honest, a ten-year timeline feels a bit vague. The volatility in the crypto space this year is hard to control—talking about ten years from now?

Wow, this wave really has some substance... while others are still competing over TPS, we're defending against quantum hacking. The gap is too wide. Quantum computing is really coming; if we don't defend now, we're truly done. I'm confident in this move. The dual-signature logic is brilliant, maximizing security. I just wonder if regular users will find it too troublesome. If Ethereum bets right this time, the infrastructure dominance ten years from now could really crush other chains. The key is whether it can truly be implemented; everything looks good on paper.

Quantum computing is coming, and Ethereum has long been prepared. This move is indeed bold. --- Honestly, with this combination of tactics, other chains can only watch helplessly. --- Double signature protection sounds overly secure; could it actually hinder efficiency? --- This wave of Ethereum isn't just about speed; it's about shaping the future. There's something substantial here. --- In ten years, if quantum computing really arrives, coins without quantum resistance solutions will probably be doomed. --- BLS aggregation + ZK tech is an incredible combo; only a few chains can achieve this in one step. --- The question is, when will these upgrades actually go live? Paper plans alone are useless. --- The phrase "dimensionality reduction attack" is used perfectly. While others are still fighting, Ethereum has already started building houses.

Quantum computing is indeed being proactively explored by Ethereum, unlike some projects that just talk about it every day. --- Speed of competition? Wake up, everyone. True competitiveness lies in defense. That’s the mindset of the big players. --- Double signature protection sounds solid, but I’m worried that the execution might be full of complications. Let’s wait and see. --- I don’t know if it can dominate in ten years, but for now, those investing are betting on this move. --- It feels a bit overhyped, but I can’t deny that the approach is indeed ahead of the curve. --- Laying the groundwork for the post-quantum era—sounds great, but the actual implementation is another story. --- While others compete on speed, Ethereum focuses on security. The overall outlook is indeed different. --- State preservation mechanism? Sounds complicated. How would ordinary users use it? --- ZK proofs have already been in development, and now with added quantum defenses, it feels a bit like stacking layers. --- No matter how good the protection is, it can’t withstand hackers’ creativity. This is an ongoing battle.
