Ethereum developers publish EIP-9999 deposit contract proposal to address quantum computing threat

Ethereum developers have proposed a new deposit contract design to prepare for the risk that quantum computers could break digital signatures. The draft, filed as provisional EIP-9999, is designed to handle variable-length public keys and credentials, addressing limits in the current contract built around fixed BLS12-381 sizes. It introduces schema identifiers per deposit, replaces Merkle-tree verification with log-based checks, and outlines an irreversible, three-stage process to eventually stop new BLS deposits.
