SUI Research has introduced a cryptographic framework that can offer protection against threats to computing volume without the need for hard forks, changes of changes or primary updates.
Cryptography Kostas Chalkias wrote on a Monday x Post that is the recent research Paper He is the author of Sui Research forms “a major success in moving the volume of ‘some’ blockchain.” He explained that while the new approach will be applied to Sui, Solana, close, cosmos and other networks, it will not apply to Ethereum and Bitcoin.
“As far as I know, this is the first backward compatibility with the volume upgrade for the blockchain wallets to avoid future forks or freezing accounts,” Chalkias said.
Dan Dadybayo, a researcher in the uncontrollable purse, told Cointelegraph that this paper is “one of the most important cryptographic falls we have seen in recent years.” She explained that it gives Quantum-Safe Wallet Upgrades without the need for changes in addresses, re-sign OA Hard fork.
A tough fork is a permanent change in the protocol of a blockchain that is not compatible with backwards, meaning that nodes that operate old software cannot verify blocks created under new rules.
Hard forks have the potential to controversy and result in two separate networks if not fully adopted by network guardians. Interesting for examples include bitcoin (Btc) and bitcoin cash (Bch), as well as ether (Eth) and Ethereum Classic (Etc.).

The impending threat to quantity
While Chalkias says he is skeptical that “we are anywhere near the amount of high -strength that can break the cryptogram soon,” the threat is recognized as real experts.
While volume computers are increasingly capable of damaging the underpins blockchain underpins, developers are looking for solutions with growing ease.
In the case of Bitcoin, there are also more heated community discussions. In an interview in mid -April with Cointelegraph, early Cypherpunk Adam back, mentioned by Satoshi Nakamoto on the white role of Bitcoin, suggested that computing computing pressure may reveal If the pseudonymous creator of the blockchain is alive.
Back explained that computing volume could make Bitcoin held by Satoshi Nakamoto vulnerable to the stolen, forcing him to move it to a new address to avoid losing access to his coins. The Bitcoin community may also be forced to decide whether to file addresses that are vulnerable to an attack on the volume of computation when those attacks become practical. Chalkias added:
“When computers come in volume, millions of wallets, including Satoshi’s, can be drained immediately. If your public key is visible, it will eventually break down.”

How this innovation changes the equation
Most volume computation solutions include changing keys to new ones based on post-quantum cryptography and a deep rework of software based on his network. Instead, in the newly suggested solution, it is possible to perform the full-safe upgrades of the whole-safe wallet without changing the addresses, re-signing or requiring a tough fork.
The breakthrough is dedicated to chains that use the Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm, or EDDSA.
Dadybayo said “This is possible because EDDSA-based chains (Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) such as Sui, Solana and close to private keys are deterministically from a seed that can be used in zero-knowledge proof to allow for a safe move, even for dormant accounts.” The proof allows users to prove that they know the seed from which their keys came from without revealing the key.
Tomer Ashur, director of scientific in the cryptography research firm 3MI labs, told Cointelegraph that this method “provides to hide some data that an opponent will need altogether for attacking the scheme.” He added:
“Instead of replacing EDDSA, what this method is to strengthen the algorithm against attacks as a whole.”
The chain can accept the proof that it is zero-knowing as a permission to accept a post-quantum public key as the new network key. This will avoid the need for new account IDs (the old EDDSA key will still be used), re-signing old transactions or a difficult fork.
Most importantly, dormant accounts are covered. In other words, if bitcoin was used EDDSA signatures From its start, there are no hot discussions around if the bitcoin of Satoshi Nakamoto will be frozen in the future.
Robert Roose, founder of Cardano Interoperability Protocol Mynth, has admitted that – if the paper is right – this is a major development. “Caveat on if,” he added.
