Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

So by 2029, all of this would be implemented if it meets the roadmap?

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

Everything we just talked about.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

You promise?

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

Everything.

Bankless

Another question as I was thinking about this, and this is sort of from old software engineering veterans that have told me in the past that they say things like, you know what, rewrites never work.

Bankless

And they have reasons for this that I'm not a software engineer, so I can't recite.

Bankless

But it's basically like the rewrite is kind of a trap because it's a myth, because there's this panacea of getting rid of all the technical debt.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

But what ends up happening is you just kind of do staple on to the existing code base and it becomes...

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

so much more thorny to start something from scratch.

Bankless

In this case, Justin, you're saying like, hey, a rewrite is going to be a fresh start.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

It's going to work.

Bankless

What gives you that confidence?

Bankless

And why is there something in the back of my head of some ancient software developer telling me that rewrites never work?

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

Why does that not apply here?

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

I guess we should emphasize, it's not just Ethereum has no choice.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

No one in crypto has an alternative to this.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

Everyone in crypto has to do a rewrite.

Bankless

With Bitcoin, it's just ECDSA, but that in itself is enough.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

I mean, what about the larger take though, Justin, that let's say we get to 2032, Ethereum is Quantum secure.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

Bitcoin isn't.
