Ethereum Targets Quantum Resistance by 2029 Amid Growing Threats
The Ethereum Foundation has announced a roadmap to achieve full quantum resistance by December 2029. This move aims to safeguard Ethereum's core systems against potential quantum computing threats expected around 2030.
The plan involves implementing post-quantum cryptographic measures well before quantum computers become practical, with key upgrades like Glamsterdam scheduled for 2026 and further steps leading to full quantum resistance.
This proactive approach is designed to protect Ethereum's security and longevity amid advancing technology risks. By taking these measures ahead of time, the Foundation hopes to ensure the network remains secure even as computing power continues to grow.
