Ethlabs proposed making quantum protection and resilience against advanced AI-assisted attacks Ethereum priorities for 2027 in a November 11 proposal. It also plans to withdraw its quick-slots work from Hegotá. Developers have not agreed on those priorities, and the proposal sets no activation date.
Ethlabs distinguishes keeping Ethereum operational with quantum-safe options from the more ambitious goal of maintaining full network capacity. The source says today’s quantum computers cannot break Ethereum’s cryptography, and changing one vulnerable component would leave others to address. Any transition still needs specifications, working software and testing; wallets, exchanges and users would also need usable ways to adopt new account protections.
