Ethereum going quantum-safe sounds like an obvious win. But markets care about tradeoffs. Post-quantum cryptography typically means: → Larger signatures → More computation per transaction → Higher gas costs → Increased validator load Translation: stronger security, weaker performance. If gas rises and efficiency drops, ETH’s scaling roadmap gets stress-tested. This isn’t just a cryptography tweak. It could force a broader architectural redesign. The next battleground for Layer 1s won’t just be speed or fees. It will be who can absorb quantum security without breaking economics. Most accounts will either sell you fear or sell you dreams. I break down the structural shifts before they hit price. Follow or stay late to the real alpha ⚡
