Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has publicly backed a proposal that would reduce the gas cost of quantum-safe private transactions from roughly 10 million to the low tens of thousands, a cut of more than 99%, and has said he wants it included in a future network upgrade called I-star.
Buterin announced his support on Wednesday 9 September, pointing to EIP-8288, which he co-authored in June alongside Thomas Coratger. The proposal targets the enormous computational overhead that post-quantum cryptography currently imposes on Ethereum transactions.
