      Curious what people here think about the 2029 timeline being realistic. The Strawmap sounds ambitious, seven hard forks in four years while keeping the network live. Is the devnet progress actually on track?

      EF gave a grant to a researcher to bring LeanVM and PQ security to Bitcoin. SHA instead of Poseidon, which is fine because Bitcoin has like 3 TPS.

      Ethereum’s plan is to be fully PQ across all three layers (CL, DA, EL) by 2029. To have a PQ heartbeat on consensus to be able to disable slashing if quantum breaking happens before sufficient validators have moved over.

      For EOAs, pay attention to Frame tx. That’s the current front runner for being quantum secure on the “my account holding my stuff” side
