Ethereum prioritizes quantum resistance with 2029 deadline

The Ethereum Foundation has made quantum resistance a top priority, targeting 2029 for the network to be protected ahead of when a quantum computer capable of breaking today's cryptography could plausibly arrive, according to CoinDesk. The Foundation says upcoming upgrades will be judged against that timeline.

• The effort builds on earlier work including a draft proposal for quantum-resistant ETH staking keys.
• The 2029 target aligns with the Foundation's previously stated goal of full quantum resistance by December 2029.
