Aiming to keep Nimiq secure in a future where powerful quantum computers exist, the milestones in this category focus on choosing the cryptographic building blocks that later features will depend on, including the key and address format and whether a Layer-2 is feasible. Nimiq is not quantum-resistant today, and the team has already published its preliminary research on the road to quantum resistance. The three milestones below are closely entangled: the choice made in one constrains the other two.
