Summary
- Ethlabs said it has set a goal of responding to security threats posed by quantum computing and AI by 2027.
- Ethlabs said the plan calls for introducing cryptographic technology capable of countering quantum-computing attacks by 2027 and strengthening network stability against security attacks using AI.
- Ethlabs said it aims to establish a quantum-resistant consensus framework and security migration tools for user accounts by 2027, though the proposal does not represent a formal consensus among Ethereum's broader developer community or a finalized upgrade schedule.
Forecast Trend Report by Period
Ethlabs, an Ethereum development group, has set a goal of equipping the network by 2027 to respond to security threats posed by quantum computing and artificial intelligence.
According to the Ethereum developer community on Nov. 12, Ethlabs proposed a new development goal called "pqai27." The initiative envisions introducing cryptographic technology that can withstand quantum-computing attacks by 2027, while also strengthening the network's resilience against AI-driven security attacks.
"Advances in quantum computing and AI's ability to identify software vulnerabilities are accelerating rapidly," Ethlabs said. Ethereum must be able to respond not only to quantum-computing risks, but also to threats from AI.
Ethlabs aims to establish a quantum-resistant consensus framework and security migration tools for user accounts by 2027. After that, it plans to broaden adoption of the related technologies while maintaining network throughput.
Still, the plan reflects Ethlabs' proposed development direction and does not represent a formal consensus across Ethereum's broader developer community or a finalized upgrade timetable.
