According to @cryptosecresearch, SLH-DSA utilizes SPHINCS+, an advancement over the Winternitz signature scheme (1982) and Lamport signature (1979), relying on robust, well-tested hardness assumptions. This contrasts with most other NIST post-quantum digital signature candidates, which depend on newer, less-tested assumptions. For crypto traders, the adoption of SLH-DSA and SPHINCS+ could enhance blockchain security and trust, potentially influencing the valuation of cryptocurrencies that integrate post-quantum cryptography solutions (Source: @cryptosecresearch, NIST PQC Project).
