At the Devconnect conference, Vitalik Buterin warned that quantum computers could break Ethereum’s elliptic curve cryptography before the 2028 U.S. presidential election. He urged the Ethereum community to upgrade to quantum-resistant cryptography within four years to safeguard the network. Buterin also advised that innovation should focus on Layer 2 solutions, wallets, and privacy tools, rather than frequent changes to the core protocol. This shift aims to strengthen Ethereum’s security and stability amid growing technological risks.
