‘Time to go full PQ’ – Ethereum Foundation launches post-quantum push

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has declared post-quantum (PQ) security a top strategic priority, aiming to accelerate its development with a target to "go full PQ" by 2026. A dedicated team has been formed to lead this initiative, focusing on making Ethereum quantum-resistant. The EF is offering a $1 million prize to improve the Poseidon hash function as part of its emphasis on hash-based cryptography. PQ developer networks are already in progress, and a formal roadmap will be released soon. In contrast, the Bitcoin community remains divided on the urgency of quantum threats. Some analysts suggest that if it lags in PQ readiness, Ethereum could significantly outperform Bitcoin in returns, potentially by 200%.
