Justin Drake: The EF Is Moving Away From Poseidon for Ethereum L1
Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake said the EF is ditching Poseidon, the specialized hash function that's long secured L1-bound zk-proofs, in favor of standard hashes like SHA-2 or BLAKE. Goodbye, Poseidon!An epic 8-year, 8-figure rabbit hole in post-quantum cryptography reaches its dream conclusion. The Ethereum Foundation is abandoning Poseidon for L1, pivoting to SHA or BLAKE. This milestone unlocks ultimate security for lean Ethereum and foreshadows a golden…
