The Ethereum Foundation has committed to making Ethereum (ETH) resistant to quantum computers by December 2029, treating the date as a fixed deadline rather than a research goal. The Protocol cluster published that target alongside its scoring of 62 proposals for Hegotá, the hard fork after Glamsterdam. Ethereum Fixes a Deadline It Cannot Schedule The

The Ethereum Foundation is aiming to make Ethereum’s layer 1 fully resistant to quantum-computing attacks by December 2029.
U.Today•Alex Dovbnya8 Sept
The Ethereum Foundation assessed 62 proposed Hegotá changes, but only two received its highest "must ship" grade.
The Ethereum Foundation has published ratings for 62 Hegotá proposals after collecting 397 assessments from about 60 protocol specialists across nine teams. The Ethereum Foundation said in a Sept. 7 post on X that its Protocol Cluster had released two…
Ethereum’s Hegotá upgrade will center on FOCIL and Frame Transactions as developers weigh dozens of other proposed changes for inclusion.

The Ethereum Foundation has warned that wallets, indexers and gas estimators could break as Glamsterdam changes the 21,000-gas assumption for some ETH transfers, with the upgrade due to activate on the Platåberget testnet on Aug. 20. The Ethereum Foundation’s Protocol…
Developers have been urged to test on Plataberget before Glamsterdam’s new gas model reaches Ethereum’s other testnets and mainnet.

Ethereum researchers have proposed prioritizing two transaction changes for the 2027 Hegotá upgrade that could let privacy pools pay network fees without third-party intermediaries. Ethereum Foundation researcher Toni Wahrstätter said in an Aug. 17 X post that the Protocol Architecture…
Ethereum Foundation is doubling down on making the chain quantum-resistant by 2028
AMBCrypto•Benjamin Njiri14 AugThe Ethereum Foundation is abandoning the Poseidon hash function on its base layer, moving to options like SHA or BLAKE, according to researcher Justin Drake. The shift reshapes the network’s long-term plan to resist future quantum computers. Drake announced the decision on August 13, calling it the conclusion of an eight-year research effort. Ethereum Ditches

Advances in compact proofs have erased Poseidon’s previous performance advantage, according to researcher Justin Drake.
Cointelegraph•Cointelegraph by Ezra Reguerra13 AugEthereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake has said the network’s layer 1 will leave Poseidon after an eight-year, eight-figure research effort and pursue established hash functions such as SHA-2 or BLAKE2s. Ethereum L1 turns away from Poseidon Justin Drake said in…
Ethereum's shift to SHA and BLAKE3 highlights the evolving landscape of cryptographic security, emphasizing compatibility and post-quantum readiness.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says the network’s priorities have shifted so much since 2023 that he had to redraw his own roadmap. On Monday, Buterin posted a side-by-side comparison of his 2023 Ethereum roadmap and the Ethereum Foundation’s new “Strawmap,” a planning document outlining protocol upgrades through 2029. Quantum Safety Jumps the Line Buterin explained […]
