Justin Drake sets December 2028 target for Ethereum post-quantum fork

Drake's proposal matters less as a schedule than as a signal that post-quantum work is moving from research framing into concrete fork planning across protocol layers — a shift that touches every team building on Ethereum, not just core researchers. The explicit separation between the protocol upgrade and wallet migration is the detail worth noting: the harder, less coordinated half of the problem sits with wallet providers and users, outside the fork sequence itself. Whether the 2028 target holds, and whether wallet migration attracts comparable urgency, is the open question.
