1. Introduction: The Ethereum Foundation establishes a post-quantum dedicated group
The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has officially established a Post-Quantum (PQ) group – a group dedicated to post-quantum cryptography. At the same time, EF clearly stated that the cybersecurity of the Ethereum network against threats from quantum computers is the top strategic priority in its long-term strategy.
This announcement was made around January 23, 2026, by prominent researcher Justin Drake (@drakefjustin) via a post on X, marking the transition from theoretical research to practical implementation.
