Fireblocks has reduced the gas cost of Ethereum's post-quantum ML-DSA-44 signature verification from 8.09 million to 1.23 million, a 6.6x improvement. This was achieved without changing the Ethereum protocol by optimizing core components like SHAKE-256 hashing and number theoretic transform computations within the existing EVM. The work was done by an AI-driven research team over nine days at a cost of about $7,500. This advance supports Ethereum's roadmap to adopt post-quantum cryptography through smart contract-based signature verification, avoiding hard forks and enabling future-proof security.
