Ethereum 65 percent, Solana 100 percent vulnerable to quantum attacks as \'Q-day\' shock looms
Ethereum and Solana face significant security risks in a future era of quantum computers, an analysis said. Quantum security group Project Eleven assessed that about 65 percent of Ethereum and virtually all of Solana are vulnerable to quantum attacks that could undermine public-key cryptography. It cited risks to Ethereum validator keys and Solana addresses that embed public keys. The Ethereum Foundation and Solana ecosystem developers are preparing post-quantum upgrades, with timelines extending into the next decade.

Ethereum prepares for quantum threat, with security boost and scalability challenge
Ethereum is preparing to transition to post-quantum cryptography with a target of around 2029. It judges the threat is not immediate but cannot be ignored because advanced quantum computers could expose private keys and put billions of dollars at risk. A key issue is performance, as post-quantum schemes can increase signature sizes and verification costs. Ethereum is pursuing structural redesign, including SNARK-based aggregation, and prioritising cryptographic agility.

Buterin bets on \'next-generation Ethereum\' with 2-second blocks, quantum protection within 4 years
The Ethereum Foundation released a long-term technical roadmap called Strawmap, a draft blueprint to view layer-1 protocol upgrades in an integrated way over the next decade. The plan envisions seven hard forks by 2029, aiming to cut transaction finality to seconds and raise throughput to 10,000 transactions per second on layer 1 and 10 million per second on layer 2. It also includes quantum-resistant cryptography and shielded transfers for privacy.
