  1. The Ethereum Foundation wakes up and smells the PQC coffee!

    The foundation has made post quantum security a priority and formed a dedicated team to address looming threats from quantum computing.

    Keys areas they are working to address are:
    1) Transaction signatures and accounts - existing ECDSA transaction signatures as quantum‑vulnerable.

    2) Consensus and commitments: KZG and BLS‑based components are recognized as quantum‑vulnerable.

    3) Virtual machine architecture: leanVM is positioned as the “cornerstone” of Ethereum’s PQ cryptography strategy, designed to support PQ signatures and ZK‑proof systems efficiently inside the protocol.

    4) Ecosystem migration: The roadmap emphasizes backward compatibility so existing wallets, smart contracts, and infrastructure can continue functioning while new PQ standards roll in gradually.
