Justin Drake says Ethereum quantum-resistance target is December 2028

The Ethereum Foundation researcher told Devcon 8 in Mumbai that developers hope to finish the network's post-quantum and post-AI transition by December 2028, a year ahead of the foundation's roadmap.

Why it matters: Ethereum's shift to quantum-resistant cryptography affects how the network's execution, consensus and data layers are built, and rival chains are already studying post-quantum alternatives.

Key points

  • Drake said developers have 24 months to deliver three more network upgrades
  • The Ethereum Foundation's September roadmap set December 2029 as the quantum-resistance deadline
  • The roadmap is due for reassessment in January 2027

Justin Drake has set out a December 2028 target for Ethereum's quantum-resistance work, a year earlier than the Ethereum Foundation's published deadline. Speaking at Devcon 8 in Mumbai on Tuesday, the foundation researcher said the aim was to complete the network's post-quantum and post-AI transition by then, according to Cointelegraph.

Drake said developers have 24 months to ship three further network upgrades. The foundation's September roadmap had put December 2029 as the deadline for quantum resistance across Ethereum's execution, consensus and data layers. His remarks do not formally replace that plan, which is due to be reassessed in January 2027.

The faster schedule has drawn attention from other blockchain developers.

What to watch: The Ethereum Foundation's roadmap is scheduled for reassessment in January 2027.
