Ethereum researchers drop faster blocks to race toward quantum defenses in 2027
Ethereum research group Ethlabs has withdrawn its faster-block proposal for the planned 2027 Hegotá upgrade to prioritize quantum-resistant security. The group wants the upgrade to focus on Frame Transactions to support quantum-resistant signatures a year earlier than the current 2028 target, though wallet providers and holders will still need to update their software and signing methods. Researchers cite rising risks from AI-driven automated bug hunting as part of their urgency. Open article →
