Ethereum Foundation Researcher Justin Drake Outlines 2028 Target for ETH Network's Quantum and AI Security Overhaul

Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake outlined an aspirational 2028 target for completing the network's post-quantum and post-AI security overhaul, one year ahead of the official December 2029 deadline. The transition would require three network upgrades within 24 months to introduce quantum-resistant mechanisms across execution, consensus, and data layers using hash-based cryptography like leanSPHINCS. The urgency reflects risks from quantum computers potentially recovering private keys and AI-assisted cryptanalysis compromising existing signature schemes, with a substantial share of…
