TREE NEWS update: Aztec, the privacy-focused Layer 2, is targeting a full post-quantum migration by the end of 2030. The plan calls for hardened developer libraries in early 2027, and the complete migration also depends on changes to Ethereum itself. The timeline was disclosed without further detail on the specific cryptographic upgrades involved.
Aztec Plans Full Post-Quantum Migration by End of 2030
The notable part is the dependency, not the deadline: Aztec's own migration is gated on changes to Ethereum, meaning a privacy L2 can only move as fast as its base layer. That puts the practical burden on Ethereum's roadmap rather than on Aztec's cryptography, and it leaves developers building on Aztec to absorb library changes years before the network itself is quantum-hardened. Whether the early-2027 library work ships independently of Ethereum's timeline is the open question.
