Quantum resilience target from Ethereum Foundation: end of 2029

In addition to the Hegota update, which includes many improvements, the Ethereum Foundation also announced an important schedule for defense against quantum technology. In the statement, it was stated that the goal is to make Ethereum quantum resistant by the end of 2029.

The goal is to make all 3 layers durable…

In the Ethereum Foundation's statement, it was stated that the aim is not only for wallets to become quantum resistant, but also for all 3 network layers: "transaction execution, consensus and data" to reach this level.

“Yes, it is an aggressive prediction…”

In the published article, it was stated that the "quantum day" referred to as "Q-Day" may come in early 2013, but this is not certain and this prediction is an "aggressive assumption":

"Evaluating that the quantum day will occur in 2030 is, of course, an aggressive prediction... Many companies state that such a day will actually come much later in the future, and some may not come at all. To ensure safety, we will prepare as if it will come in 2030."

“It overlaps with 3 big companies”

Pointing to 3 major US companies for setting December 2029 as the target, the foundation made the following statements:

"The December 2029 target we have set overlaps with the 2029 quantum target of Google, Cloudflare and Microsoft. No one knows when and in what way such a day will come. This course is not under anyone's control. Therefore, instead of waiting for certainty, we wanted to set a date for ourselves. Our goal is to make our own preparations in advance, instead of waiting for this day..."

“Hegota is not quantum enhancement”

Touching on the Hegota update that is expected to take place next year, the article also stated that this development should not be seen as a direct quantum-oriented change:

"The Hegota update is not a post-quantum development. However, it will include the necessary changes in preparation for quantum. It will establish the basic infrastructure."
