Drake stresses the need to proactively defend against quantum computing threats, which could eventually break today\u2019s widely used cryptographic tools. Lean Ethereum outlines a transition toward post-quantum signature schemes, laying the groundwork for Ethereum to remain secure even in the face of those emerging technologies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe stand at the dawn of a new era.
