SOLANA IS TESTING QUANTUM -- AND IT REVEALS THE TRADEOFF The Solana Foundation, Solana Labs, and partners like Project Eleven are actively testing quantum-resistant upgrades today -- not because it’s a current threat, but to prepare early. The result is clear: stronger security means 20-40x larger data and up to ~90% slower performance. That’s the tradeoff. Now comes the hard part -- figuring out how to upgrade millions of wallets and validators without breaking the network, while improving performance. Speed-first systems don’t upgrade for free. The real question isn’t who’s fastest… it’s who can adapt when it matters.
