content: update future-proofing page + add post-quantum cryptography subpage by konopkja · Pull Request #17946 · ethereum/ethereum-org-website

konopkja · 2026-04-08T20:35:55Z

Summary

Rewrites /roadmap/future-proofing/ with current information (2026 state), beginner-friendly tone matching the ethereum.org style guide
Creates new /roadmap/future-proofing/quantum-resistance/ subpage with deeper post-quantum cryptography coverage, following the established pattern of dedicated subpages for complex topics (like account-abstraction, verkle-trees, danksharding)

What changed in the parent page

Quantum resistance section: Replaces outdated "probably decades away" framing with honest, attributed assessment of current timelines. Adds EF Post-Quantum Security team, pq.ethereum.org, Vitalik's four-pronged vulnerability framework, EIP-8141 signature agility, and structured fork milestones
Simpler and more efficient Ethereum section: Reorganized into "delivered" (London, Dencun, Pectra, Fusaka) and "in progress" (Glamsterdam, Hegota). Each fork lists specific EIPs
Current progress section: Updated from Dencun (March 2024) to early 2026 state with honest assessment of what is and isn't in production
Added summaryPoints frontmatter to match other roadmap pages

New quantum-resistance subpage

Covers: why PQ matters, the four vulnerable areas (BLS, KZG, ECDSA, ZK-proofs), NIST standards table, EF approach and milestones (I*/J*/L*/M*), what users need to do, and 6 FAQ items using ExpandableCard components.

Editorial approach

All claims attributed to primary sources (Google Quantum AI paper, pq.ethereum.org, NIST, CoinDesk)
No fear-mongering: leads with "your funds are safe today" framing
Does not overplay Ethereum's readiness: "actively preparing, not quantum-safe"
Acknowledges open questions (dormant wallets, governance)
Date-stamps progress claims ("as of April 2026")
EIP-8141 described as "being considered for" Hegota, not confirmed

Sources verified

Claim	Source
~1,200 logical qubits	Google Research Blog (March 2026)
PQ milestones I/J/L/M	pq.ethereum.org
PQ as strawmap north star	strawmap.org
NIST FIPS 203/204/205	NIST
EF PQ team formation	CoinDesk

Closes #17943

Test plan

Verify both pages render correctly in local dev server
Check all internal links resolve (glossary terms, roadmap pages, developer docs)
Verify ExpandableCard components expand/collapse properly
Review on mobile viewport for readability
EF Post-Quantum Security team should review PQ subpage for technical accuracy
Re-verify EIP-8141 CFI status and Glamsterdam/Hegota timelines at merge time

Nice work -- well-sourced, good tone, no fear-mongering. A few items beyond the inline suggestions:

Must fix:

"Hegota" should be "Hegotá" throughout (5 occurrences across both files). The codebase consistently uses the accented form.

Should fix:

The 0.1% vs 5% dormant fund exposure comparison (FAQ: "Is Ethereum behind other blockchains on this?") needs attribution -- these are EF estimates, not independent figures. Consider adding "according to Ethereum Foundation estimates" or removing the Bitcoin comparison, which reads more promotional than educational.
Glamsterdam EIPs are described as "expected to include" but if they only have CFI status, "being considered for inclusion" would be more precise and consistent with how you describe EIP-8141.

Consider (soft suggestions):

"H1 2026" / "H2 2026" may not be clear to a global, non-native-English audience. "First half of 2026" / "second half of 2026" reads more naturally.
The NIST standards table (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA) is useful reference but most readers of this page won't know what these mean. Consider whether it could move to "Further reading" or get a sentence of context for why these matter to a non-specialist.

Thanks @konopkja! Review above, overall looking great ❤️

The redirect rule `/roadmap/future-proofing/:path+` was catching all subpaths and redirecting them to the parent page. This prevented the new quantum-resistance subpage from rendering. Other roadmap sections (pectra, fusaka, merge) allow subpages without such a redirect. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Fix Hegota → Hegotá throughout (5 occurrences) - Remove duplicate h1 in quantum-resistance subpage (template renders it) - Change "decades" → "centuries" for Ethereum security model framing - Expand ECDSA at first use in subpage - Add attribution to dormant fund exposure figure, remove Bitcoin comparison - Change "expected to include" → "being considered for inclusion" for Glamsterdam/Hegotá - Replace "H1/H2 2026" with "first/second half of 2026" for global audience - Add context sentence before NIST standards table - Apply mnelsonBT's copy improvements: summaryPoints, quantum intro, EF team description, leanVM 250x compression detail, ECDSA vulnerability explanation Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Consider (myelinated-wackerow):

✅ "H1 2026"/"H2 2026" → "first half of 2026"/"second half of 2026"
✅ NIST table: added context sentence explaining why these standards matter to a non-specialist

Lgtm! Left one note on standardizing how we display the upgrade dates, otherwise think this is ready to go. @mnelsonBT say the word, can merge for next deploy
