Ethereum Devs Propose Quantum-Resistant Staking Keys

Ethereum developers proposed a draft plan for quantum-resistant validator keys, while ETH slipped to $2,449 amid Thailand's new crypto ETF consultation and a broader market pullback.

If quantum computers eventually threaten today's cryptographic keys, how much time does Ethereum realistically have to migrate every validator before the risk becomes real? Who decides when an optional upgrade becomes mandatory for the entire network, and how would millions of already-staked ETH transition safely? The answer will shape how staking infrastructure, wallets and custodians plan for a threat that currently has no confirmed timeline.
