⚛️ETHEREUM RESEARCHERS WANT QUANTUM-RESISTANT SECURITY BY 2027 - AND AI IS CHANGING THE ROADMAP Ethereum's race to prepare for future computing threats has become more urgent. ETHLABS HAS PROPOSED A NEW TARGET: 2027. Ethereum's independent research organization published a proposal on November 11 called PQAI27, which calls for Ethereum to be quantum computing resistant and better protected against advanced AI-driven attacks much sooner than previously expected. The proposal could significantly change Ethereum's priorities. The main argument is simple. FOLLOW UNTIL QUANTUM COMPUTERS BECOME A REAL THREAT COULD BE TOO LATE Today's Ethereum security relies on encryption systems that could eventually be vulnerable to sufficiently powerful quantum computers. But Ethlabs believes another threat deserves attention. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE As artificial intelligence systems become more capable of discovering software vulnerabilities and solving complex mathematical problems, researchers argue that blockchain's security assumptions should be more conservative. Ethlabs wants Ethereum to strengthen its cryptography while implementing a more robust client consensus for automated vulnerability detection. The proposed road map has TWO STAGES. The first, PQAI-READY, is aimed at post-quantum consensus and the way for Ethereum accounts to migrate towards quantum-resistant signatures in 2027. The second, PQAI-SCALED, is designed to extend these protections across transactions and data availability while maintaining Ethereum's scalability capabilities. Achieving this timeline will require tough decisions. Ethlabs wants the HEGOT to UPGRADE to promote quantum security on features that are less essential for this purpose. The organization even withdrew from Hegotá's QUICK SLOTS proposal, moving the fastest effort to 2028. This is a significant trade agreement.
