Ethereum’s 2029 quantum deadline is starting to reshape what gets built next
Hegotá is becoming the first major test as developers weigh faster post-quantum protections against upgrades including mandatory execution proofs.
Explore quantum and crypto news, including security risks, post-quantum research, and what quantum computing could mean for blockchains.

The Ethereum proposal opens staking to future key formats, but replacing validator signatures still requires separate protocol upgrades.

A new federal task force brings crypto firms into preparations for a future when today’s cryptography may no longer be enough.

Faster binary-field proofs are making SHA and BLAKE practical for a future Ethereum without declaring Poseidon broken.

A 2029 network target leaves little room for institutions that still need to inventory keys, wait on hardware vendors and redesign custody procedures.

Bitcoin’s BIP-110 window tests governance as developers weigh consensus fixes, covenant custody and a five-year quantum migration.

The new consortium comes as falling estimates for quantum computing requirements put greater focus on Bitcoin’s exposed public keys.
