The Foundation wants the network protected before a quantum computer capable of breaking today's cryptography could plausibly arrive, and says upcoming upgrades will be judged against that clock.
- The Ethereum Foundation has set a December 2029 deadline to make the network’s transactions, validators and data storage resistant to quantum-computing attacks.
- The 2027 Hegotá upgrade will not provide quantum resistance itself but is intended to keep five subsequent hard forks and related cryptographic changes on schedule.
- Planned protections include new account and validator signature systems, a public-key registry and a fallback designed to keep Ethereum operating with reduced guarantees if quantum computers advance sooner than expected.
