Here what’s brewing in the Cardano ecosystem

Earlier on December 6th, Cardano’s creator Charles Hoskinson revealed that its research and development firm Input Output aka IOHK has started working to protect against malicious attacks on the Cardano network by deploying ‘quantum-powered adversaries‘.

Speaking on the project in the video released on his YouTube channel, the founder said the first step would be to run simulations to check vulnerabilities in Cardano’s algorithms and thereby making the ecosystem quantum-resistant. Reading along with the same, Hoskinson stated,

The first thing you need to do is model the algorithms we have against the quantum adversary. We have started that process, but that’s not in scope for the deliverables in 2022. However, the knowledge is there, the people are there and if it’s a priority for the next five years of Cardano, it’s something that can be done.
