Ethereum plans quantum-secure upgrade to scale to 10,000 TPS
Justin Drake frames a post-quantum “clean-slate” redesign for Ethereum (ETH), as the proposed “Quantum” upgrade gains traction. At the same time, more than 32% of ETH is locked, tightening supply.
Developers discuss rebuilding the base layer instead of incremental fixes. The “Quantum” path is drawing attention from crypto press and markets, per Bitcoinist.
