tldr; Vitalik Buterin’s ‘walkaway test’ assesses Ethereum’s long-term viability, emphasizing its ability to function securely without ongoing developer intervention. A key focus is achieving quantum resistance to safeguard against future cryptographic vulnerabilities. Ethereum’s roadmap includes transitioning to post-quantum cryptography through account abstraction, enabling flexible signature validation and gradual adoption of new standards. This aligns with the goal of protocol ossification, ensuring Ethereum’s value doesn’t rely on undelivered features.
