AI brief
The EF Protocol cluster aims for Ethereum L1 to be quantum-resistant across execution, consensus, and data layers by December 2029, aligning with migration targets set by Google, Cloudflare, and Microsoft. The plan involves two cadences: client teams can start Hegotá implementation in late Q4 2026, and full post-quantum readiness requires five hardforks after Glamsterdam, targeting December 2029 with an aggressive average cadence of 7.2 months per fork. An August 19 Strawmap update introduced a minimum viable post-quantum (MV-PQ) L1 milestone at J*.
