Vitalik: Ethereum can respond to possible quantum attacks by "restoring the fork"
On March 10, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on the Ethereum Research Forum that Ethereum can pass "Restore the fork" to deal with possible quantum attacks. Vitalik said that although quantum computing attacks may be a threat, Ethereum is already prepared to deal with it and can protect user funds through a simple "recovery fork". This backup plan could be implemented in the event of a blockchain hard fork, where users would need to download a new wallet, but relatively few users would lose their funds.
Roll back all blocks after the first block where a large-scale attack occurred; disable traditional EOA (externally owned account) transactions; add new transaction types , allowing transactions from smart contract wallets; adding new transaction types or opcodes, allowing STARK proofs to be provided. If the proof passes, the user's account code will be switched to the new verification code, and from then on you will be able to use it as a smart contract wallet; in order to improve Gas efficiency, STARK can be allowed to be a batch proof, proving N of the above types of STARKs (must be STARK-of-STARKs, rather than directly proving multiple claims).
The implementation infrastructure for such a hard fork can in principle be built starting now, making the Ethereum ecosystem fully prepared in the event of a possible quantum emergency .
