A draft proposal would allow validators to deposit with quantum-resistant keys, then permanently stop accepting the format the network runs on today.
- Ethereum researchers proposed rebuilding the network’s validator deposit contract to support new cryptographic systems and eventually stop accepting deposits secured by existing BLS signatures.
- The change is intended to protect the blockchain from quantum attacks that could forge validator signatures, potentially threatening about 42.4 million staked ETH worth roughly $104 billion.
- The proposal remains an early draft and requires additional protocol changes, with the Ethereum Foundation targeting around 2029 for core quantum-resistant upgrades.
