Post-Quantum Security and the Glamsterdam Upgrade Take Center Stage

[cryptoenthusiast]

Security is another major focus for 2026, particularly long-term protection against quantum computing threats. The foundation highlighted the upcoming Glamsterdam network upgrade, expected in the first half of 2026, as a key milestone. Earlier this year, Ethereum researcher Justin Drake revealed that a dedicated Post-Quantum (PQ) team had been formed to prepare the protocol for future cryptographic risks.

The initiative reflects a broader push to future-proof Ethereum’s infrastructure. By investing early in post-quantum readiness, the foundation aims to ensure the network remains secure even if breakthroughs in quantum computing threaten traditional encryption methods in the years ahead.

glamsterdam sounds cute but the implications are not lol. scaling + quantum defense in the same cycle is ambitious.
