Ethereum post-quantum security roadmap dey aim update di protocol for 2029

One team wey dey linked to Ethereum Foundation don launch resource hub wey dem call "Post-Quantum Ethereum" to make Ethereum post-quantum security sharp. Di latest update stick to di timeline: dem go integrate post-quantum security solutions into di protocol layer by 2029, den work for di execution layer go follow after. One main focus na SNARK-based (zero-knowledge) signatures to avoid big performance wahala when dem shift from quantum-vulnerable schemes. Di article show gas-cost gaps for validation: ECDSA verification na about ~3,000 gas, ZK-SNARK verification ~300,000–500,000 gas, and STARK-style quantum-resistant validation fit reach ~10,000,000 gas. Di migration no be only to change algorithm — e cover consensus, execution, and data layers, touching parts like BLS signatures, KZG commitments, ECDSA, and di proving system itself. For deployment priority, di team plan first protect standard Ethereum wallets, then high-value infrastructure accounts wey link to exchanges, cross-chain bridges, and custody services. Dem stress say no immediate quantum threat, so early preparation and formal verification go take years of ecosystem coordination. Market views still split: Will Owens from Galaxy Digital talk say only wallets wey get public keys dey real risk, while Charles Edwards from Capriole dey more pessimistic and warn say exposure fit wider. As practical reference, di article point to quantum hardware schedules like PsiQuantum's commercial ops around 2027.
