ChainCatcher News: Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin released a “Quantum Roadmap” this Thursday, proposing multiple improvements to address blockchain quantum security vulnerabilities. These include upgrades such as hash signatures, recursive STARKs, native account abstraction, and protocol-layer signature aggregation. The core goal is to replace the current ECDSA cryptographic architecture, which is vulnerable to quantum attacks.

Among these, the “frame transactions” plan has been included in the discussion agenda for the Ethereum upgrade version Hegota, expected to be launched in the second half of 2026, with potential implementation within this year. Vitalik warned last November that quantum computers could potentially break Ethereum’s existing security model before 2028.

The Ethereum Foundation has established a dedicated post-quantum team, offering a $1 million prize and launching bi-weekly technical discussions. Researcher Justin Drake emphasized that, in a highly decentralized ecosystem, creating a binding “official roadmap” is practically unfeasible.
