ME News reports that on June 2 (UTC+8), Ethereum researcher Thomas Coratger announced that Ethereum has officially launched its post-quantum security transition plan. The first step involves establishing a dedicated post-quantum (PQ) public key registry to replace the current BLS signature scheme, providing validators with quantum-resistant security. The research, co-authored by Thomas Coratger, Tom Wambsgans, Ladislaus, Thomas Thiery, and Justin Drake, thoroughly explores the design space and highlights XMSS (Extended Merkle Signature Scheme) as a technical pathway. This work has been incorporated into Ethereum’s “Strawmap” roadmap to address potential threats posed by large-scale quantum computers to Ethereum’s security. (Source: Foresight News)

Summary
On June 2, Ethereum news emerged as researcher Thomas Coratger revealed the launch of a post-quantum security transition plan. The initiative includes a post-quantum public key registry to replace BLS signatures, enhancing validator security against potential quantum threats. The research team, including Tom Wambsgans and Justin Drake, outlined the XMSS technical pathway. The plan is now integrated into Ethereum’s Strawmap roadmap. A security breach stemming from quantum computing remains a key risk the project is actively addressing.
