Ethereum Foundation Sets Quantum-Resistant Deadline for Ethereum Network

The Ethereum Foundation has released its comprehensive review process for Hegotá, one of the next major upgrades to the Ethereum network. The study, published by Protocol Cluster within the Foundation, examined and rated 62 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) proposed as part of the upgrade.

Approximately 60 researchers, engineers, and domain experts from nine different teams within Protocol Cluster participated in the review process. They submitted a total of 397 evaluation comments, with some controversial proposals discussed in face-to-face meetings.

The foundation stated that the scope of the Hegotá upgrade was determined by considering the Protocol Cluster's long-term technical commitments and the shared priorities identified among the teams.

The most notable goal outlined in another study published by the Ethereum Foundation is making the Ethereum Layer 1 network resilient to quantum computers by December 2029. This milestone will make the network secure against potential threats from quantum computers.
