Aztec Plans Major Blockchain Overhaul by 2030 to Prepare for Quantum Threats

TL;DR: Aztec scheduled late 2030 for the completion of its comprehensive technical transition toward post-quantum cryptography schemes. The roadmap establishes February 2027 as the deadline to deploy developer libraries safeguarding against “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks. The technical schedule projects selecting new digital signature schemes in March 2027, public-key encryption in July 2027, and zero-knowledge proof systems in November 2027. Aztec announced a plan to complete a comprehensive migration to post-quantum cryptography by late 2030, aiming to mitigate its infrastructure exposure to the advance of quantum threats . Project co-founder Zac Williamson, alongside Mike Connor, published the technical paper outlining this transition timeline. I’m happy to announce Aztec’s post-quantum roadmap.
