Monad publishes its post-quantum security roadmap
Monad has outlined the order of upgrades intended to prepare the network for potential quantum attacks, starting with wallet authentication and consensus before expanding to execution-layer cryptography and proof infrastructure.
Monad’s new technical post explains how declining potential quantum-attack costs shape the order of its post-quantum protocol upgrades.
The first focus is protecting user funds, since the potential gains from compromising wallets could justify attacks costing millions of dollars. Post-quantum consensus is being developed in parallel. Later work is expected to cover staking protection, execution-layer cryptography migration to PQ EVM, proof infrastructure, and pre-confirmation privacy.
Monad notes that the resource, cost, and timing estimates are based on research and additional assumptions; they are not forecasts.
Why it matters
For Monad developers, the roadmap signals future changes to the protocol’s cryptographic primitives.
