The Ethereum Foundation’s Protocol cluster has set a firm deadline of December 2029 to make Ethereum’s base layer quantum-resistant across execution, consensus, and data layers. This move anticipates the arrival of quantum computers capable of breaking current cryptography, potentially as early as 2030. The plan involves a tight schedule of overlapping hard forks, starting with the Hegotá fork in December 2026, which will decide if future post-quantum upgrades proceed on time. Key proposals like FOCIL and Frame Transactions have been prioritized to enable new signature schemes and enhance security. This effort aligns Ethereum with similar targets from major tech companies like Google and Microsoft, aiming to protect the blockchain against future quantum threats.
