Ethlabs drops Hegotá slot proposal in push for 2027 quantum readiness

Ethlabs will withdraw its proposal to cut Ethereum's slot time from 12 to 10 seconds (EIP-8198, Quick Slots) from the planned Hegotá upgrade. The group outlined a roadmap called "pqai27" to prepare Ethereum against quantum computing and AI threats by 2027, and says it will still pursue faster slots in 2028. Ethereum core developers have not approved the proposal, and the Ethereum Foundation's roadmap still targets December 2029 for quantum resistance, while Justin Drake hopes to finish in 2028.
