Ethereum Should Strive To Become ‘Cryptographically Safe’ For 100 Years, Says Vitalik Buterin: Resist The Trap Of ‘Ekeing Out More Efficiencies’
Posted On January 14, 2026
Vitalik Buterin called for the swift deployment of quantum-resistant technology for Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) on Monday, emphasizing its importance for long-term cryptographic safety.
Is Efficiency Worth Sacrificing For Security?
Buterin took to X to voice his concerns about delaying quantum resistance in the name of efficiency.
“We should resist the trap of saying ‘let’s delay quantum-resistance until the last possible moment in the name of eking out more efficiencies for a while longer,’” the cryptocurrency mogul argued.
