In a report published on November 12, 2026, at 10:58 UTC+8, Foresight News said Ethlabs had posted a proposal on Ethereum Magicians for Ethereum to achieve post-quantum and AI security by 2027. Ethlabs framed the goal, called pqai27, as a way to strengthen Ethereum’s position as a decentralized root of trust and ETH’s role as a programmable store of value.
Ethlabs argued that post-quantum measures alone would not address risks from AI-accelerated cryptanalysis and software vulnerabilities. It recommended making pqai27 the highest priority, reassessing the Hegotá hard fork, removing nonessential features such as quick slots, and prioritizing post-quantum paths for consensus and accounts. It described pqai-scaled as a stretch goal.
These are Ethlabs’ recommendations, not enacted Ethereum changes. The report did not establish that a fork schedule or feature set had been changed.
