Ethereum developers have outlined a fork roadmap intended to reach “Lean Ethereum” by 2029, targeting gains in scalability and security while positioning the network for post-quantum readiness. The plan centers on a sequence of protocol upgrades rather than a single release, with the fork path serving as the vehicle for the architectural changes. The effort matters because it would reshape Ethereum’s core consensus and execution layers at a time when competing Layer 1 chains are competing on throughput and quantum-resistance claims. What to watch next is the publication of specific fork milestones and timings, along with how the changes are staged across testnets before any mainnet activation.
