Ethereum Foundation sets Dec 2029 target for quantum resistance across mainnet
The Ethereum Foundation has laid out a roadmap to make the entire Ethereum mainnet quantum-resistant by December 2029. The target is to convert all three layers of Ethereum L1 — execution, consensus and data — to a quantum-resistant structure. The timeline is set on the assumption that a quantum-computing “Q-day” could arrive as early as 2030. Ethereum aims to implement its next major upgrade, Glamssterdam, in December and then deliver full quantum resistance through five further upgrades.

Ethereum \'Glamsterdam\' delayed as follow-up upgrade recalibrated
Ethereum\'s next major network upgrade, Glamsterdam, has been pushed back to the fourth quarter of 2026. Developers have launched a new public testnet, Plåtåberget, for the upgrade and have begun narrowing the scope of the follow-up upgrade, Hegotá, with a 2027 launch in mind. The timeline shift comes after earlier expectations for Glamsterdam in the first half of 2026 and Hegotá in the second half.

Loopring, Ethereum\'s first zk-rollup, closes decentralised exchange
Loopring, described as Ethereum\'s first zk-rollup project, has closed its decentralised exchange service, The Block reported. The project said it lacked a virtual machine, preventing composability and real payment use cases, which limited ecosystem growth. It also acknowledged its zkEVM architecture lagged newer solutions fully compatible with Ethereum smart contracts. Loopring said it will refund users directly and cover all transaction fees, and will later restrict Layer 2 withdrawals to team-controlled whitelisted addresses after an upgrade.
