Ethereum Network Aims Quantum-Resistant by 2029

The Ethereum Foundation has announced its goal to make the network quantum-resistant by December 2029. This plan encompasses all three layers of the Ethereum network - execution, consensus, and data. The foundation is preparing for a potential emergence of powerful quantum computers around 2030.

The upcoming Hegota update, expected after Glamsterdam, will be a critical step in this process. By making the network resistant to quantum attacks, Ethereum aims to maintain its security and integrity in an era where quantum computing could pose a threat.
