Ethereum Foundation Launches Post-Quantum Team to Advance Engineering Implementation

Ethereum Enters the Post-Quantum Era

According to Coindesk, the Ethereum Foundation is now transforming its long-term post-quantum cryptography research into actionable engineering, forming a dedicated team focused on this critical area.

Team Structure and Objectives

Under the leadership of Thomas Coratger and supported by cryptographer Emile, the team reflects a strategic shift in Ethereum’s approach to securing the network against quantum threats, as stated by EF researcher Justin Drake.

Implementation Roadmap

Regular developer meetings will be held every two weeks to advance post-quantum transaction technology, alongside building a multi-client post-quantum consensus testnet to lay the groundwork for future deployment.
