This was stated by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin during an AMA session.<\/p>\n<p>The event took place on the Warpcast decentralized social network built on the Farcaster protocol. Buterin <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/vitalik-buterin-describes-hack-of-his-x-account\">addressed<\/a> this platform after <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/hackers-hijacked-vitalik-buterins-x-account\">the recent SIM-swapping attack<\/a> on his X account.<\/p>\n<p>He voiced his view in response to a user question regarding the unexpectedly rapid development of quantum computing, which could pose a threat in the hands of bad actors.<\/p>\n<p>He suggested that with the advent of such computers, for existing accounts a hard fork would be necessary. Users would be able to confirm their mnemonic phrase via ZK-STARK technology and recover the <span data-descr=\"external account\" class=\"old_tooltip\">EOA<\/span>-address. According to him, for the level of consensus, developers are exploring various alternatives based on cryptographic solutions such as <span data-descr=\"Boneh-Lynn-Shacham signature\" class=\"old_tooltip\">BLS<\/span> aggregation or the Verkle tree.<\/p>\n<p>The AMA participants were interested in a wide range of questions to Buterin: from personal preferences to conceptual issues around capitalism.<\/p>\n<p>On the Ethereum-Bitcoin competition, he noted that the two ecosystems use different \u201csets of technical trade-offs\u201d and cover different domains.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the seemingly unlaunched blockchain prediction market, Buterin pointed to a new wave of such projects, for example Polymarket. He said the protocol has achieved significantly more progress in blending cryptocurrency aspects with a business model than earlier attempts.<\/p>\n<p>During the conversation, it emerged that Buterin&#8217;s favorite cities are Singapore, Taipei, Vienna, Toronto, Ithaca, and New York. He tends to eat twice a day (about every six hours), listens to pop music in Chinese (for example Taiwanese singer Angela Zhang), and has not engaged in any sport for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>In September, Buterin <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/vitalik-buterin-outlines-a-future-for-the-ethereum-ecosystem\">shared his views<\/a> on the future of Ethereum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Account abstraction can make users&#8217; accounts quantum-resistant.
