On November 12, Ethlabs proposed moving Ethereum’s migration to quantum-resistant cryptography forward to 2027 from December 2029. The group argues that advances in artificial intelligence could enable cryptographers to uncover flaws before sufficiently mature quantum computers arrive. Its roadmap, called “pqai27,” aims to deliver a protected consensus and a post-quantum solution for user accounts in 2027, followed by a fully post-quantum network operating at full capacity. To finance the project, Ethlabs is removing its proposed block-acceleration mechanism, known as quick slots, from the Hegota hard fork. If adopted, the migration would become the largest publicly delivered post-quantum project ever undertaken.
