Software companies such as Google parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ: $GOOGL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: $MSFT) have set similar targets to be quantum proof.
The upcoming Hegotá upgrade to the Ethereum blockchain, scheduled for 2027, will lay the foundation for making the network resistant to quantum attacks, said the Foundation.
Five hard forks of the Ethereum blockchain are planned after Hegotá, which works out to one every 7.2 months between 2027 and 2029.
