Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has emphasized the need to adapt blockchain systems in response to advances in quantum computing. He praised Microsoft's Majorana 1 quantum chip as a significant advancement and outlined Cardano's strategy to secure the network in a post-quantum world. This includes introducing a proof chain as an independent verification layer, leveraging advanced cryptographic techniques, and exploring new ledger models. However, Hoskinson acknowledged that these solutions may introduce inefficiencies. Cardano plans to collaborate with industry experts and allocate resources to research in order to stay ahead of the challenges posed by quantum computing. The implementation of quantum-resistant features will be a gradual process, with the proof chain being introduced in the next few years.
