\section{Conclusion}
This paper presented ETHFALCON, a suite of EVM-optimized post-quantum signature schemes based on NIST's FALCON standard. Through strategic cryptographic modifications---replacing SHAKE with Keccak-CTR, implementing iterative NTT, and introducing public key recovery via NTT-domain representations---we achieved 70-90\% gas cost reduction from 24M to 1.8-1.9M gas per verification.
Our EPERVIER variant introduces the first FALCON-compatible public key recovery mechanism, enabling quantum-resistant Account Abstraction (EIP-4337, EIP-7702) on Ethereum. With 128-bit quantum security, production-ready implementations, and testnet deployments, ETHFALCON establishes the first operationally viable path to post-quantum blockchain security.
As quantum computing advances, ETHFALCON provides Ethereum with a migration path preserving network security, smart contract compatibility, and user experience. Future work on hardware acceleration, signature aggregation, and native precompile integration will further solidify ETHFALCON's role in the post-quantum blockchain era.
