🧠⚛️ Why is Ethereum already spending millions on protection against quantum threats?

The Ethereum Foundation has officially included quantum security in the list of key strategic priorities for the network. And this is not just talk 👇

💰 The Foundation has created two $1 million prizes — Poseidon and Proximity — to accelerate the development of protection against future quantum attacks.

Research has been ongoing since 2019, but now the topic has become part of Ethereum's roadmap.

❗️Why is this important?

If powerful quantum computers become a reality, the current cryptography of blockchains could be compromised. At risk are wallets, smart contracts, and billions of dollars in crypto assets.

📅 The quantum threat has been discussed for a long time, but it is the year 2025 that has become a turning point:

investment funds and large corporations have begun to seriously consider quantum risks.

🤔 When exactly the real threat will emerge is still debated.

But Ethereum operates on the principle:

it's better to prepare in advance than to save the ecosystem in a panic.
