Backward-Compatible Post-Quantum Migration

Continuing the discussion from How to hard-fork to save most users' funds in a quantum emergency:

We are excited to share a draft of an EIP that we have been working on. The proposal aims to present a solution for integrating a post-quantum signature scheme into the Ethereum blockchain while maintaining backward compatibility with existing ECDSA. The PQC signature scheme, targets integration with a quantum-safe zero-knowledge proof system such as zkSTARK or MPC-in-the-Head, to ensure the long-term security of Ethereum transactions against quantum attacks without requiring immediate upgrades to existing infrastructure. Looking forward to your thoughts on the proposal

Please refer to our community guidelines. If you are submitting an EIP proposal, you should discuss it on the Ethereum Magicians forum rather than posting promotional threads on this forum.

Noted on your guidelines. We’ve moved the specific EIP discussion to Ethereum Magicians (EIP-7693).
