Justin Drake emphasized reducing reliance on multiple cryptographic primitives in favor of post‑quantum schemes
Claim
Quotes that support claims
@drakefjustin outlined specific lean initiatives: - Lean staking: Make validator roles simpler - Lean verifiability: Works on low power / bandwidth devices - Lean crypto: Reduce primitives; 1 hash function if possible - Lean assumptions: Prioritize hashes and pq schemes
A lean crypto approach would reduce the protocol’s reliance on multiple primitives, favoring a single hash function and post-quantum schemes wherever possible.
