Ethereum Foundation Elevates Post-Quantum Security to Top Strategic Priority, Forms Dedicated Team to Drive Engineering Efforts
BlockBeats News, January 24th, the Ethereum Foundation has elevated post-quantum security to its highest strategic priority. The EF announced the formation of a dedicated Post-Quantum team, led by Thomas Coratger and supported by leanVM cryptographer Emile. Researcher Justin Drake stated that Ethereum is transitioning from long-term background research to active engineering efforts, including launching biweekly Post-Quantum Transaction Developer Calls and running a multi-client Post-Quantum Consensus Testnet.
The EF is also increasing funding and community involvement, planning to launch two $1 million cryptography grants and host multiple Post-Quantum-related community events and educational initiatives by 2026. The EF emphasized that while the quantum threat remains a medium- to long-term risk, blockchain needs to plan ahead to ensure wallet security and network smooth upgrades.
