# Introduction

The advent of quantum computing poses significant risks to existing cryptographic protocols, particularly those based on algorithms like the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), widely used in blockchain technologies. To address these risks, this paper introduces a Quantum-Resistant Wallet Protocol (QRWP) for the Ethereum blockchain, leveraging lattice-based cryptography and robust design methodologies to ensure post-quantum security.
