According to Ethlabs, an Ethereum research group, developers should accelerate the network's post-quantum security upgrade to 2027, moving up the Ethereum Foundation's existing December 2029 target. The proposal, called pqai27, argues that advances in artificial intelligence are heightening risks from quantum computing to existing cryptographic systems. Two milestones are targeted for 2027: pqai-ready, establishing post-quantum consensus and quantum-resistant account pathways, and pqai-scaled, bringing quantum-resistant transactions to full network capacity. The upgrade would protect accounts, transactions, and network consensus against future quantum attacks. Ethlabs has offered to withdraw its Quick Slots proposal from the planned Hegotá hard fork to redirect developer resources toward quantum security, prioritizing long-term security over near-term performance improvements.
