The founder of the Zama project truly has a very forward-looking vision. Several years ago, their team made a bold decision—to build their protocol directly to 128-bit security level, and it’s even quantum-resistant.

Although this approach would definitely impact performance, they still insisted on doing it. Looking back now, this early move towards quantum security really put them ahead in the entire crypto industry. After all, the threat of quantum computing isn’t imminent, but if you wait until it happens to take action, it’ll be too late.

That’s how it is with technical route choices sometimes. You might have to sacrifice some efficiency in the short term, but long-term security is the foundation for a protocol’s survival.
