In the field of digital currency, Ethereum has always been a high-profile star. However, with the continuous advancement of quantum computer technology, Ethereum's security is also facing unprecedented challenges. Buterin proposed a solution that has attracted much attention: resisting quantum computer attacks by restoring forks. This article will delve into the potential impact of quantum threats on Ethereum, and the salvation of fork technology in the crisis.
The rise of quantum computers poses huge security challenges to traditional cryptocurrencies. Traditional encryption algorithms become fragile in the face of quantum computers, and information such as private keys and digital signatures may be destroyed, leading to unpredictable losses of user assets. As a representative of smart contract platforms, Ethereum’s security is particularly important. Once it is attacked by a quantum computer, the consequences will be disastrous.
In order to solve this problem, Buterin proposed to restore the security of Ethereum through fork technology. The so-called fork is to modify existing rules on the blockchain to fix loopholes or respond to emergencies. By restoring the fork, Ethereum can respond to the threat of quantum computers in a timely manner and ensure the security of user assets.
In practice, restoring a fork is not an easy task. The joint efforts and support of the global Ethereum community are needed to ensure the effectiveness and rationality of the fork. At the same time, forks may cause controversy and disagreement, so it is necessary to carefully weigh the interests of all parties and make a decision that is in the interest of the majority. Only with broad recognition and support from the community can the fork play its due role in protecting Ethereum from quantum threats.
In addition to technical challenges, Ethereum also needs to deal with broader security risks. Issues such as network attacks, hackers, and smart contract vulnerabilities may affect the stable operation of Ethereum. Therefore, in addition to relying on fork technology, Ethereum also needs to continuously strengthen security protection measures and improve its overall anti-risk capabilities.
In future development, Ethereum needs to continue to innovate and continuously improve its security and reliability. Only by constantly adapting to new technologies and new challenges can Ethereum remain invincible in the fierce competition. Although the quantum threat has brought new difficulties, it has also pointed out the direction for the future development of Ethereum. Let us wait and see and witness the future path of Ethereum.
To sum up, Ethereum faces severe challenges from quantum computers, but by restoring forks and other technical means, Ethereum is expected to resolve the crisis and embrace a more secure and stable future. Let us join hands to protect the security of Ethereum and contribute to the prosperity and development of the blockchain world. May Ethereum continue to grow in the wind and rain and shine brighter!

Coin Circle (120btC.coM): Blockchain currently seems difficult to crack, but there have been doubts in the market that with the advent of quantum computers, existing cryptocurrency encryption algorithms, such as Bitcoin’s SHA-256, will be able to be cracked. , Ethereum’s Keccak-256, quantum computers will be able to steal or forge cryptocurrency, posing a major threat to the security of cryptocurrencies.

 Restorative forks can resolve crises

However, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik
Buterin wrote an article on the Ethereum Research Forum on the 9th titled "How to Save User Funds from Sudden Quantum Attacks through Hard Forks". He said that if Ethereum suddenly encounters a quantum computer attack tomorrow, it can be solved through a relatively simple recovery analysis. Fork (recovery fork) to resolve the crisis: Ethereum will need to undergo a hard fork, and users will also need to download new wallet software, but only a small number of users may lose funds.

According to Vitalik Buterin, the solution to a recovery fork has the following steps:

   Roll back all blocks after a large-scale attack

   Disable legacy transactions based on Externally Owned Account (EOA) addresses

   Add a new transaction type to allow transactions through smart contract wallets (as part of RIP-7560)

   Add new transaction types or operation codes to allow users to provide proof of STARK validity. If the proof is passed, the user's address code will be switched to a new verified code. After that, the user can use the new code address as a smart contract wallet.

Vitalik
Buterin added that for the sake of saving gas and due to the large amount of STARK proof data, Ethereum can support batch STARK proofs to conduct multiple above-mentioned types of STARK proofs at the same time.

 Facilitate the expeditious development of required infrastructure

Vitalik
Buterin finally called on developers to, in principle, start developing the infrastructure needed to implement this restorative fork tomorrow, so that the Ethereum ecosystem can be fully prepared for sudden quantum attacks.
