Dragonfly's Haseeb Qureshi proposes blockchain 'cryptographic recovery mode' against ECDSA threats
- —Qureshi proposed adding hash-based signatures in the next protocol upgrade and pre-linking backup keys to addresses
- —After several months, transactions from addresses without a backup key would be rejected
- —An emergency switch would be triggered by validator vote without a separate protocol upgrade
- —Addresses without a backup key could migrate via a ZK proof of the seed phrase or an ECDSA signature plus a PoW puzzle
Why it matters: The debate sets a framework for protecting wallets from quantum and AI threats, though it is a proposal, not an actual ECDSA break.
