Ethlabs has proposed making Ethereum’s consensus ready for post-quantum security in 2027 while allowing users to move to secure accounts. The pqai27 plan is not an approved upgrade roadmap; implementation depends on decisions by Ethereum’s core developers. Ethlabs described full-capacity processing of post-quantum transactions and data in 2027 as an ambitious target, not part of the initial readiness goal.
Ethlabs wants to change priorities for the Hegotá hard fork, reconsider FOCIL and move its fast slots proposal out of the upgrade. It said it would continue work on shorter slots in 2028. The company argues that quantum computing and AI could threaten existing cryptography sooner than expected.
