Zcash co-founder Ben-Sasson: quantum protection must be cheap and simple
- —Ben-Sasson: stronger security won't drive adoption without low fees and simple account setup
- —StarkWare executed a quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction in August without changing consensus rules
- —Protection covered only a single output, cost several hundred dollars and bypassed the mempool
- —NU7 hits Zcash testnet on Oct 6, mainnet activation Nov 5, final decision Oct 20
Why it matters: Post-quantum protection remains costly and impractical, delaying its rollout across public blockchains.
