Ethlabs proposes moving Ethereum's post-quantum readiness from December 2029, the Ethereum Foundation's target, to 2027 under an upgrade it calls pqai27. It cited the US government moving its quantum risk goal from 2035 to 2030 and Google aiming to be post-quantum by 2029, arguing AI accelerates cryptographic risks. The proposal defines two 2027 readiness levels: pqai-ready, with post-quantum consensus and a post-quantum account route, and pqai-scaled, with full-capacity post-quantum transactions. Ethlabs said it will withdraw its quick slots proposal from the Hegotá fork and that non-critical fork content should be reconsidered. The plan remains a forum proposal, not a decided change.
