Ethereum Foundation Drafts Seven-Fork Strawmap Through 2029

In brief

• Ethereum Foundation researchers have published a draft “strawmap” outlining seven Ethereum forks through 2029, projecting roughly one upgrade every six months.
• The roadmap targets shorter slot times and finality measured in seconds through a shift from Gasper to a one-round BFT “Minimmit” design, alongside shielded ETH transfers.
• It also outlines a shift toward post-quantum hash-based signatures and STARK-friendly cryptography.
