EIP-8288 Could Make Ethereum’s Quantum-Safe Privacy More Than 99% Cheaper

Ethereum may be trying to make privacy sturdier for the quantum era without making every private transaction prohibitively expensive. Vitalik Buterin is pushing EIP-8288, a proposal that could slash the cost of quantum-safe private transactions by more than 99%.Buterin said Wednesday that he hopes the proposal makes it into I-star, the Ethereum upgrade planned after Hegota. The proposal would move some of the network’s most expensive cryptographic work away from the execution path, where e
