Ethereum Foundation Targets Quantum-Resistant Upgrade by 2029

The Ethereum Foundation protocol team has released the Hegotá upgrade EIP priority list, aiming to achieve quantum security across execution, consensus, and data layers by December 2029. Key upgrades include FOCIL (EIP-7805) for the consensus layer to enhance censorship resistance and Frame Transactions (EIP-8141) for the execution layer to support native account abstraction and post-quantum security. Starting with the Glamsterdam fork in Q4 2026, the team plans to conduct forks every 7.2 months to meet milestones before the projected 2030 Q-day.
