Ethereum News: Ethlabs Says Ethereum May Need Post-Quantum Protection by 2027

Ethlabs says Ethereum news now centers on a proposed 2027 post-quantum target. The “pqai-ready” stage would provide post-quantum consensus and account routes for users. Ethlabs committed to withdrawing its Hegotá quick-slot proposal while targeting faster slots in 2028. Ethereum news focused on an accelerated security proposal after Ethlabs called for post-quantum readiness by 2027. The Ethereum Foundation’s September roadmap set December 2029 as its target for full Layer 1 quantum resistance. However, Foundation researcher Justin Drake outlined an earlier ambition at Devcon 8 on Nov. 3, saying developers hoped to complete the post-quantum and post-AI transition by December 2028. Ethlabs subsequently proposed a minimum level of post-quantum readiness in 2027. Neither accelerated target has formally replaced the published roadmap.
