The Solana Foundation and Project Eleven are jointly advancing the post-quantum security strategy for networks.

The Solana Foundation announced on the X platform that it has partnered with post-quantum security company Project Eleven to advance the post-quantum security architecture of the Solana network. As part of the collaboration, Project Eleven has conducted a comprehensive quantum threat assessment of the Solana ecosystem, covering core protocols, user wallets, validator security, and long-term cryptographic assumptions. They have also successfully prototyped a Solana testnet using post-quantum digital signatures, validating the feasibility and scalability of end-to-end quantum-resistant transactions in a real-world environment. Matt Sorg, VP of Technology at the Solana Foundation, stated that this move aims to ensure Solana's security for decades to come and aligns with the roadmap of launching a second client and a new generation of consensus mechanisms this year. Project Eleven CEO Alex Pruden stated that Solana's proactive approach, taking action before quantum computing becomes a real threat, demonstrates that achieving post-quantum security with existing technology is feasible.
