Reported November 12, 2026, at 10:58 a.m. UTC+8. Foresight News reported that Ethlabs had posted a proposal on Ethereum Magicians calling for Ethereum to achieve post-quantum and AI security by 2027, under the name pqai27. Ethlabs framed the goal as reinforcing Ethereum’s role as a decentralized root of trust and ETH’s role as a programmable store of value.
Ethlabs argued that a post-quantum focus alone would not address risks from AI-accelerated cryptanalysis and software vulnerabilities. It proposed making pqai27 the highest priority, reassessing the Hegotá hard fork, dropping 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’ proposed priorities, not changes reported as approved or activated.
