Today marks an inflection in the Ethereum Foundation's long-term quantum strategy.
We've formed a new Post Quantum (PQ) team, led by the brilliant Thomas Coratger (@tcoratger). Joining him is Emile, one of the world-class talents behind leanVM. leanVM is the cryptographic cornerstone of our entire post-quantum strategy.
After years of quiet R&D, EF management has officially declared PQ security a top strategic priority. Our journey began in 2019, with the "Eth3.0 Quantum Security" presentation at StarkWare Sessions. Since 2024, PQ has been central to the @leanEthereum vision. The pace of PQ engineering breakthroughs since then has been nothing short of phenomenal.
It's now 2026, timelines are accelerating. Time to go full PQ:
→ PQ ACD: Antonio Sanso (@asanso) kicks off a bi-weekly All Core Devs PQ transactions breakout call next month. These sessions focus on user-facing security, covering dedicated precompiles, account abstraction, and longer-term transaction signature aggregation with leanVM.
→ PQ foundations: Today we are announcing a $1M Poseidon Prize to harden the Poseidon hash function. We are betting big on hash-based cryptography to enjoy the strongest and leanest cryptographic foundations. Check out our other $1M PQ initiative, the Proximity Prize.
→ PQ devnets: Multi-client PQ consensus devnets are live! Shoutout to pioneers @zeamETH, @ReamLabs, @PierTwo_com, @geanclient, @ethlambda_lean, as well as established consensus teams Lighthouse, Grandine, and soon Prysm. This incredible teamwork is coordinated by @corcoranwill via weekly PQ interop calls.
→ PQ workshops: Building on last year's PQ workshop in Cambridge (see photo), the EF is hosting another 3-day PQ event in October. Top experts from around the world will convene. In addition, a PQ day is set for March 29 in Cannes just ahead of EthCC.
→ PQ FV and AI: Last week Alex Hicks (@alexanderlhicks) ran a specialised maths AI for 8 hours, at a $200 cost. It one-shotted a formal proof one of the hardest lemmas in the foundations of hash-based snarks. Mind-blowing. Applied cryptography will never be the same.
→ PQ roadmap: A comprehensive breakdown of the EF's proposed PQ strategy will be shared soon™ on pq[.]ethereum[.]org. The roadmap targets a full transition in coming years with zero loss of funds and zero downtime. Stay tuned :)
→ PQ education: The ZKPodcast (@zeroknowledgefm) is producing a 6-part video series on Ethereum's PQ strategy. EF Enterprise Acceleration is also preparing material for enterprises and nation-states. Finally, Ethereum is now represented on the PQ advisory board that Coinbase announced yesterday.
Believe in something. Believe in PQ security.

From hosting alumni party to seeing them present topics and products to the beautiful job done @blockfuselabs. Jos gave us amazing experience. Thanks for the city tour and the experience. Big ups to the organizing team of @prodfest
@DMitong @scarfacedoteth @devlongs_ @seselovesNFTs and ever supportive friends @ayahq_.
Big ups to @Menawar_ for opening Jos to Web3bridge and being a great evangelist and believer. Proud of all the results I saw from the over 17 alumni I met in Jos and those who drove and flew in from Abuja, Kaduna and Lagos to be a part of the event.
Much love for the team @crowd_pass.
Excited about the growth of everyone who has passed through @Web3Bridge and more excited and confident for more results to come!

Base is now officially sponsoring Cohort III at Blockfuse Labs.
@base is now officially sponsoring Cohort III at Blockfuse Labs. This is a defining moment, not just for us, but for the African Web3 ecosystem.
Base isn’t just another name in Web3. It is a global infrastructure trusted by millions of developers, built to scale the next generation of on-chain economies.
When a company like that chooses to invest in what you’re doing, it isn’t charity. It’s a clear statement: your work is world-class, and your vision matters, and we see you.
At @blockfuselabs , we’ve never treated Web3 as hype. We’ve treated it as an opportunity to raise developers who can stand anywhere in the world and be respected for what they build.
So when Base, one of the most trusted infrastructures in Web3, decides to put their name and resources behind this cohort, it tells you something:
What we are doing here is real. It’s serious. It’s working.
They didn’t just throw their weight at us; they looked at the quality of work, they saw the quality of the talents we are nurturing, and they also saw what we are building.
I’ve always said this: results speak louder than noise. And the people we are raising here are the results.
We are not just proud of the results we’re seeing. We are proud of the individuals we are raising- African developers who prove every day that world-class talent resides here.
This is not the finish line. This is just the beginning.
I have been accepted to join the uniswap hook incubator cohort 5! am excited to build innovative hooks and contribute to the future of Defi. Huge thanks to @AtriumAcademy and @UniswapFND for this opportunity.

While we discuss who knows who and who knows what, let me state that, our feeds are well visible to the global market/audience and instead of spending so much time highlighting many issues, we should spend more time talking about what we can do, what we are doing and what we are building.
Many people have so much "lamentation" on their feed more than what they are actually working on and they wonder how/why they aren't getting gigs. Funny that builders have been building across various ecosystem and many of them now have moved to become degen cos of "flash bull", then the question is why have they being punishing themselves all along building.
Whether you know someone or not, if you become valuable and your work is visible, and you are also willing to contribute in the right places, you will get opportunities that will produce payment, doesn't necessarily have to be degen level.
We were all here in February when builders/contributors made as high as $40,000 to $300,000 from a builder focused airdrop while degens are wallowing in losses and creating spaces to console themselves.
Let's spend time as builders to talk about our projects, engage each other, ask questions, talk about our wins without necessarily speaking about amount and all.
I spoke to three separate persons in the last 48hours who have received $25k grants each from a protocol to build something while they still stand a chance to benefit from a $1M pool, and i can tag over 7 persons whose groups have qualified for same opportunities in the last 3-5months.
Degens will degen, builders should build and focus on building, not ruling out degens that also build and builders that also degen

@Nahmii_io is no doubt a builder, come sunshine or rain. The year 2024 will be a deciding year for the L2 as it positions itself with its unique features to wow the Ethereum ecosystem.
Nahmii had always been on the bleeding edge of L2 technology. Indeed, it smells like success 😁
