Ethereum dev targets 2028 for quantum resistance, a year early
Ethereum researcher Justin Drake said it is their “hope” that Ethereum will achieve its post-quantum and post-AI transition by December 2028.
Ethereum researcher Justin Drake said it is their “hope” that Ethereum will achieve its post-quantum and post-AI transition by December 2028.
Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake is targeting December 2028 to complete Ethereum’s post-quantum and post-AI transition, a year earlier than the foundation’s previously announced quantum-resistance deadline.
Speaking at Devcon 8 in Mumbai on Tuesday, Drake outlined the accelerated timeline. “Our hope is that by December 2028 we’ll be able to wrap up the full post-quantum and post-AI transition,” Drake said, adding that developers have 24 months to deliver three additional network upgrades.
Drake’s remarks signal a more ambitious timeline but do not formally replace the foundation’s existing roadmap, which is scheduled for reassessment in January 2027.
