The Date When Ethereum (ETH) Will Become Quantum-Resistant Has Been Set

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has shared the results of its comprehensive review process for Hegotá, planned as one of the next major upgrades to the Ethereum network. The study, published by Protocol Cluster within the Foundation, examined and rated 62 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) proposed as part of the upgrade.

Published under the title “Hegotá EIP Opinion Compilation and Rating List,” this assessment is the first unified EIP rating list prepared by Protocol Cluster for a single Ethereum network upgrade. Approximately 60 researchers, engineers, and domain experts from nine different teams within Protocol Cluster participated in the review process. Participants submitted a total of 397 evaluation comments, with some of the controversial proposals discussed in face-to-face meetings.

Another study published by the Ethereum Foundation outlined the current and long-term development priorities for the Ethereum protocol layer. The most notable of these goals was making the Ethereum Layer 1 network resilient to quantum computers by December 2029.

The foundation stated that the scope of the Hegotá upgrade was determined by considering the Protocol Cluster’s long-term technical commitments and the shared priorities identified among the teams. The published rating of the 62 EIPs is also expected to contribute to the decision-making process regarding which proposals will be included in the upgrade.
